In the lead-up to the consumer launch of Windows Vista, HP unveiled its new range of PCs designed for the OS, which included the "walk-up" TouchSmart PC and the tablet-like tx1000.

CNET.com.au attended the event, which included in-depth sessions with designers of the new range and even a representative from Microsoft -- Kenneth Lundin, general manager of the Windows business group in Asia Pacific.

Hip-hop was the flavour of the day, and HP showed they were "down with the kids" by presenting a local Korean group, The B-Boys, who rapped their own theme song to the event: "Touch me, teach me, TouchSmart PC". Word.

Touch was the theme of the event, and apart from the touch navigation features of the two flagship PCs, HP demonstrated that aesthetics and ergonomics were to be a greater focus across the board.

i have bought the hp 7630 uk , this is now my second computer in less than a month , this is now playing up by switching itself off when it feels like it , the service from hp uk stinks , if they treat their customers like this then i am afraid i will not purchase another product of them , they do have a helpline to assist you , but it is in india and unfortunately there is a language barrier , come on hp treat your customers with respect or you will have no business left .

      Apple iMac (20-inch, 2.4GHz)

      Apple's smaller-scale iMac remains our favourite all-in-one. And while its looks, its ease of use, and its performance are all selling points, Windows PCs are starting to catch up (at least with the latter).

      Thanks to 1080p output, TV tuner, Blu-ray player and wall mount, the new TouchSmart blurs the distinction between television and computer even further.

      Acer's Aspire Predator ticks most of the boxes for an enthusiast's machine, but the interior is a let down.

      We've got mixed feelings about the Eee Box, and nettops in general. You might as well buy a netbook and gain the bonus of portability.

      If you consider all of the options in the price range, the Dell Studio Hybrid is not very compelling. However, if you limit yourself to the very specific niche of small PCs, you'll appreciate its clever design and relatively powerful hardware.
