Engadget: Preview – HP Introduces New All-In-One PCs
Both the new HP all-in-ones feature dual-core AMD processors – so they’re more powerful than most previous all-in-ones. Prices: from $499 for the non-touch Omni100, $699 for the TouchSmart 310.
“It’s not just oddly random Android tablet-based printers for HP today — the company also announced two new all-in-one PCs, the TouchSmart 310 (pictured above) and the Omni100. The TouchSmart 310 is obviously the latest in the TouchSmart line, with a 2.8GHz Athlon II 240e dual-core CPU, 4GB of RAM, Radeon HD 4270 integrated graphics, a 1TB drive and a 20-inch 1600×1900 touchscreen running the latest version of HP’s Windows 7 touch overlay with custom interfaces for Facebook, Hulu, Netflix, Twitter, and HP’s built-in HDTV tuner. Not bad — but we’ll see how much all those options cost above the $699 base price.
On the non-touch front, the Omni100 also has a 20-inch 1600×1900 display, but it’s running HP’s MediaSmart Windows 7 overlay on a 1.8GHz Athlon II 260u with 3GB of RAM, a 500GB drive and the same Radeon HD 4270 integrated graphics. It’s also cheaper, starting at $499 — we’re definitely a little concerned that HP’s cheaped out on display quality at those prices, but we’ll have to see things in person first. We’ll find out soon enough — both of these hit on the 22nd.”
