The HP TouchSmart was first introduced by Bill Gates on January 7, 2007,[1] becoming the first mass market touchscreen desktop PC.[2]
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.[3]
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.[4] The new TouchSmart featured a 2-inch profile in a piano-black finish.[5]
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. It featured a Core 2 Duo T6600, 4GB of RAM, a DVD drive, a 1TB HDD and no dedicated graphics chip as it used the Intel 4 series chipset. 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.[6] There is a choice of 640GB or 1TB hard drives.
The TouchSmart 300 was released on October 13, 2009.[7] The all-in-one features an AMD Athlon II X2 235e (Energy Efficient) Processor Dual core @2.7 GHz. 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 dynamically (up to 3GB with the latest AMD Catalyst drivers 13.9 released in 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.
Initially only rev. C2 quad core processors were supported, latest BIOS allows user to upgrade with rev. C3 processors (Athlon II X3 405e and Athlon II X4 605e). HP states in its support website that Touchsmart 300 RAM is upgradeable to 8GB RAM using 2 x 4gb modules but it's been proved it supports up to 16GB DDR3 PC-12800 (2 x 8GB) even if those are not recognized in the BIOS.
The TouchSmart 500 was a series of touchscreen PCs that featured the Windows Vista Home Premium and/or Windows 7 Home Premium Operating System. The computer featured a new tilt design that allowed it to be tilted up to 30 degrees backwards or forwards. The computer also featured an Intel Core 2 Duo T5850 (2.16 GHz), 4GB of RAM, and a 23" glossed sensitive touchscreen with a 358MB Intel GMA Mobile 965 GPU (before late 2009) or a Nvidia 9600M GS (after late 2009). The HP Touchsmart 520 featured in the series was one of the more powerful units, with an Intel i3 processor, 4GB of RAM, and a 1TB HDD. It also had a 23 inch glossy touchscreen.

HP 9000 is a line of workstation and server computer systems produced by the Hewlett-Packard (HP) Company. The native operating system for almost all HP 9000 systems is HP-UX, which is based on UNIX System V. The HP 9000 brand was introduced in 1984 to encompass several extant technical workstation models launched formerly in the early 1980s. Most of these were based on the Motorola 68000 series, but there were also entries based on HP's own FOCUS designs. From the mid-1980s, the line was transitioned to HP's new PA-RISC architecture. Finally, in the 2000s, systems using the IA-64 were added. The HP 9000 server line was discontinued in 2003, being superseded by Itanium-based Integrity Servers running HP-UX. The HP 9000 workstation line was discontinued in 2009, being superseded by HP Z. Support for HP-UX on HP 9000 systems ended in March 2021.
The HP 200LX Palmtop PC (F1060A, F1061A, F1216A), also known as Project Felix, is a personal digital assistant introduced by Hewlett-Packard in August 1994. It was often called a Palmtop PC, and it was notable that it was, with some minor exceptions, a DOS-compatible computer in a palmtop format, complete with a monochrome graphic display, QWERTY keyboard, serial port, and PCMCIA expansion slot. The abbreviation "LX" stood for "Lotus Expandable".
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
