Aware Bear Computers of Pittsford, NY an HP service provider
has tested the HP IQ 526 and reported its findings.  “I think it is a phenomenal idea that HP is
investing in this new technology, sure in 10-20 years we will look back and
laugh at it just like anything else saying, ‘wow remember when that computer
first came out how cool it was back then.’” Says Arthur Leite of AwareBear. So
a new computer era begins. “It is a great idea and eventually it will get
refined, but it has its pros and cons.” Added Andre Leite Alves of Aware Bear
Computers Pittsford NY branch.

This version of the TouchSmart IQ series is a bit smaller
and more refined version than the previous. Aware Bear computer technicians believe
this is a great improvement since it will provide a smaller more compact unit
that is going to be suitable as a desktop rather than just a “media center”.

At Aware Bear’s store location, when they sell HP computers,
we noticed a trend that many people these days want to consolidate everything
they got into one unit. “Some customers asks us about all sorts of things such
as “can my new computer control my salt water fish tank, and the answer is
yes.” –Says Andre Leite Alves of Pittsford’s
AwareBear Computers. Andre Leite Alves also added that some customers that come
into the Aware Bear Pittsford store are simply looking for a media machine more
than anything that can also be used for the occasional ‘checking the email and
going online’ in that case the HP TouchSmart IQ526 might be the right computer
for them.

The IQ526 is a more popular buy today since it is more
affordable since it has a smaller screen than the previous IQ800 versions but
there are also a few drawbacks as well.

HP reported to Aware Bear that the new IQ526 has a lower
resolution on its 22-inch touch screen panel at a resolution of 1680 by 1050
and unfortunately it falls short of the HD category of 1080p. However most
people are fine with that. “Ultimately this resolution issue is only a problem
for the customers who are looking for this to have a TV built in digital tuner”
Says Matt P. of Aware Bear Home Theater department.

Another small drawback that Aware Bear Computers located
into the unit was the fact that because of its more compact size, the HP media
bay was also removed. “For some people if they have other HPs with media bays
on them might be a bigger drawback, however realistically nothing that a USB
external hard drive can’t fix” explains Andre Leite Alves of awarebear computers.

The resolution from previous models is lower, however Aware
Bear tells us that the performance was optimized from previous models and that
is always a plus. The unit now has an Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 giving a nice
boost over the T5850. Unfortunately it is still low ever than the processor
found in the iMac, but it does an excellent job while performing most tasks.
Another selling point is that it comes with 4 gigs of memory standard with the
system assisting the processor in performing these tasks.

The touch-screen interface:

The main difference that sets this HP apart than any other
is the fact that it has a touch screen interface. Fortunately the software used
by HP in order to provide the touch screen capability has been improved
dramatically over the years giving the user a more smooth and functional
experience than ever before. “It is a great improvement than the previous
versions that we had experienced with” says Andre Leite Alves of Aware Bear
Computers”. “Here at Aware Bear, we are constantly testing and seeing new
technology, since we have to know how to operate everything in case someone has
a problem, but I think that this new line of TouchSmart technology is really
great!” Added Mike A. Aware Bear Computers regional manager.

The Main Drawback:

After research conducted by Aware Bear, we came to the
conclusion that the main drawback about the system is the fact that you should
wash your hands before using it. The screen may get dirty with finger prints
here and there “but that’s common with everything, for example every morning
when I open my refrigerator, it is stainless brush steel, I get finger prints
on it too specially if I am eating a sandwich or something” Added Arthur Leite
of Aware Bear Computers in Pittsford, NY (New York)

Overall, Aware Bear agrees that the IQ526 is a good choice
for someone who wants an all-in-one desktop, that wants to save space, who is
not afraid of using new technology and would like a great media centre without
taking too much space and money out of their wallet. This product can be
purchased directly from HP, large store chains as well as from Aware Bear store
