HP has updated their all-in-one pc flagship to include a Core i7 chipset

Quad will run on the latest mark of Intel processors and keep HP's
all-in-one line competitive for the 2010 calendar year.

mart 600 Quad all-in-one PC will feature the aforementioned Intel Core
i7 processors at 1.6GHz or 1.73GHz, up to 8GB of DDR3 RAM and 1.5TB of

a bit surprised HP's Touchsmart line hasn't gotten more attention in the
market.ย It's a surprisingly solid tablet-y device with Windows 7 and
top-of-the-line processing, making it a sexy PC alternative to the full
line of iMacs.
