A sophisticated looking design featuring a seamless piano black gloss frame with elegant silver trim highlights ensures that the breathtakingly cool HP IQ800 is certain to add some sparkle to your living room.

Alisa Matuskina, Consumer Desktops Category Manager, PSG, HP Middle East, said:

"Not only does the IQ800 enable a revolution in accessing photos, music and videos, it opens up a whole new world of interactivity. For any entertainment enthusiast looking for a new and unique immersive computing experience, the IQ800 is like magic at their fingertips."

Delivering a new level of home-theatre entertainment, the HP IQ800 TouchSmart PC features an impressive 25.5-inch full HD screen at 1900x1200 resolution, a Blu-ray drive, a hardware-encoded TV tuner, and an optional wall-mount kit. Four digitally-amplified speakers deliver high quality audio, while the built-in Pocket Media Drive bay delivers additional mobile disk space without clutter.

Thanks to the TouchSmart Software Suite, you can organise and edit your latest holiday pictures using intuitive finger flicks, drag your favourite songs into your playlists, use the built-in webcam and microphone to record and share Christmas videos for friends and family at the tap of a finger, or leave handwritten notes directly on the screen.

In conjunction with dedicated TouchSmart software, the HP IQ800 uses innovative optical touch screen technology to bring digital entertainment to your fingertips with direct screen interaction. This completely redefined computing experience makes you the maestro - with the fun and enjoyment of working with photos, music and videos as easy as a few flicks of your finger.

Get hands-on with your games and touch the screen just like you would click with a mouse to discover a whole new playing field of social gaming. Combined with an powerful Intel Core 2 Duo processor and NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GS HD graphics with PureVideo HD technology, this hands-on magic takes high performance enjoyment to a new dimension.

The IQ800 also makes one-cable home computing a reality and features a wireless mouse and low-profile keyboard, as well as integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technologies. Ultimate viewing comfort is assured, thanks to a screen that tilts up and down, while a multiple-setting ambient light lets you work in low light settings or set the mood you desire.
