A Solid Media Dekstop With Touch Screen


The Dell Inspiron One 2305 (Blue-ray) is an all-in-one dekstop PC with a touchscreen, blue-ray, and solid performance. Its 23-inch wide secreen (with 1,920-by-1,080 resolution) and terabyte of hard-drive space make it a good choice for those with lots of multimedia files.

Its touch interface is essentially a dock bar that sits on the Windows 7 dekstop; you can use it to launch touch apps from there. It's enjoyable to use, but not as smoothly integrated into the whole computing experiences as the touch interface on HP touchSmart 310.

With its powerful components, including a 2.4 GHz AMD Athlon II X4610e processor, the Inspiron One (Blue-ray) is a strong performer, scoring well on our PCMark Vantage test (5,354), which measures overall computing performance. The HP 310, which sports a slightly faster 2.5-GHz Athlon II X4 615e processor, scored 656 pointsfewer than the Inspiron One (Blue-ray). The HP310, however, bested the Inspiron One (Blu-ray) by mere seconds in our Handbrake video encoding test, Cinebench R11.5, and Photoshop CS5 tests.
 

The Dell Inspiron One 2305 (Blu-ray) has all the performance to make it a decent all in-one dekstop, but a touch PC must have the added features to make the touch functionality worthwhile. As it stands the HP TouchSmart 310 has the better applications coupled with its multitouch screen.
