When we reviewed hp's original TouchSmart IQ506, we were very impressed by everything the touch-oriented all-in-one offered to those looking for a catch-all home media and computing solution. About all we thought was missing was satisfactory HD support-pretty much precluded by the presence of a 22-inch monitor and the absence of a Blu-ray drive. HP has now released the newer, larger TouchSmart IQ816, available for $2,099, to address this concern. It offers a BD-ROM/DVD±RW optical drive and a 25.5-inch integrated display. But while we're glad to see that the line is taking some important steps toward addressing newer technologies, we're not completely satisfied with the results.
