The guts of the IQ770 are laptop components that have been shoehorned into a compact desktop unit that doesnt look much like a desktop PC. The base unit houses an Asus motherboard built around and Nvidia GeForce Go 6100 chipset, a dual-core AMD Turi...

Groovy touchscreen functionality. One one cord to worry about Easy setup and simple basic use Cool printer adapter.

Great all in one design with integrated touch screen. TV controls on the screen bezel. Wireless everything. Integrated IR receiver for MCE remote. ATSC/HDTV tuner.
No HD-DVD or other Hi-Def optical drive (yet). No internal CableCard support. Internet Security subscription is only 60 days. Wireless keyboard doesnt have pointing device.
