I am considering either a TouchSmart IQ524 or Dell Studio One 19. Can anyone offer any insight into how these two compare?

The only info I could find on HP's website was about the 504. How do the 504 and 524 compare?

Can the 524 be wall mounted or is wall mounting limited to the 8xx series?

Am I correct in understanding that the 524 is single touch and the Dell is multi-touch? What does this difference mean in terms of actual functionality?

How does HP's touch software compare with the touch functionality of Windows 7? Can the two co-exist?

Thanks for any help!

That's the mounting question answer I'm most familiar with.

Thanks.

Any idea whether this one will work with the 500 series:

Also, I just read on a blog somewhere that the MS developers have been using a TouchSmart in the development of Win 7 touch features. I guess that should bode well for futureproofness?

You can find information on the IQ 524 on the Canadian HP site.

Wall-Mounting is only availiable on the 800 serie. Although, there is an option possible by a third party for 500 serie : see linky on post above. You can also get one made just for you if you know someone who work metal (I did it since I needed a spacial mounting plate to put "in-wall" and keep the possibility to use the stand : it is now hangning on the wall, not screwed).

Just so you know, the Dell Studio One is NOT VESA compliant. Wall mounting might be possible in a way, but not "out of the box" possible (I spoke to 5 costomer service people, all of them said it was not wall-mountable).

IQ524 AND Dell Studio One are SINGLE TOUCH : Dell is made multi-touch by a driver and application. In the same way, IQ 524 is multi-touch into it's home program.

Windows seven will introduce multi-touch natively. At that moment, HP is expected to release new drivers ans application witch will eventually enable multi-touch and unleash Win Seven and Touchscreen full power.

No it won't. The IQ 800 is not VESA standard out of the box. You need to use this plate to make it VESA.

The IQ 500 serie is not working with this plate, unfortunately...


For a solution for the IQ500 serie, see link in the post above if you a for the US, or here if you are from Canada : http://www.cpicomputers.com/
