Predecessor HP TouchSmart IQ500/800

HP TouchSmart is a series of tablet PC laptops and touchscreen all-in-one desktop computers designed by HP. It features various Intel or AMD processors and runs Windows Vista or Windows 7 as standard.

The HP TouchSmart was first introduced by Bill Gates on January 7, 2007, becoming the first mass market touchscreen desktop PC.

Also known as the "Crossfire", the HP TouchSmart IQ770 featured a 19-inch touchscreen, an AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-52 processor, NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600. It had a wide array of ports, including Ethernet, two FireWire, six USB 2.0 ports, one with HP printer power Y-cable connector, 5.1 + digital audio out, IR out, mini-VGA, FM coax, TV coax, ATSC, and two S-Video; however, the IQ770 did not have HDMI ports. PC World gave the machine a "very good" rating of 81/100, but noted that the use of mobile components slowed the computer

On June 10, 2008, HP unveiled their new HP TouchSmart IQ500 series. The series featured a 22-inch widescreen touchscreen display, an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, a 500GB disk, 256MB NVIDIA GeForce 9300 M HS HD graphics, and 802.11n WiFi, along with an Energy Star qualification. The new TouchSmart featured a 2-inch profile in a piano-black finish.

The IQ500 series was followed by the IQ800 series, featuring a larger 25.5 inch touchscreen. Other features included a TV tuner with remote, integrated webcam, Bluetooth, HP Pocket Media drive bay and an ambient light to illuminate the keyboard. The more expensive IQ816 featured a 2.10 GHz T8100 Core 2 Duo on an 800 MHz bus with a 3MB cache, Blu-ray drive / dual-layer burner, and a GeForce 9600M GS chip. There is a choice of 640GB or 1TB hard drives.

The TouchSmart 300 was released on October 13, 2009. The all-in-one features a AMD Athlon II X2 235e (Energy Efficient) Processor Dual core @2.7Ghz. The platform is Regor and can be updated up to a Propus Quad Core AMD Athlon II X4 605e. Several models were released in different countries, but have similar features:

Touchsmart 300 with AMD Processors uses an integrated ATI HD 3200 graphics card with shared memory that can allocate 256Mb to 1917Mb of RAM dinamically (up to 3GB with the latest AMD Catalyst drivers 13.9 released on October 2013), it also has an MXM 3.0 Type-A slot for an external graphics card (integrated graphics card is disabled when MXM slot is populated), an [MXM] nVidia GeForce G210 card (with 512MB of DDR3 dedicated memory) can be installed using the proper thermal module.
