For best deals on HP IQ506 Touchsmart With Touchscreen PC, spend some time looking for sellers offering big discounts and bundled items (softwares, paraphernalias, etc.) to get your money’s worth. If you find the price of HP IQ506 PC a bit expensive (like we do), we would like to recommend that you get the HP IQ504 if your intention in buying a new computer is for home use. Overall, our review of IQ506 Touchsmart Intel Core 2 Duo T5850 processor (2.16Ghz) with touchscreen PC is very good. But this is simply an impression of its features. The apprehension we have in getting a desktop computer like this that we travel a lot and it’s not practical to get one. A laptop or netbook, in our case, is more practical. Add to that the price. After presenting a few laptops reviews here before, laptops are generally cheaper than desktop computers these days making them more saleable and popular among computer buyers and/or users. The lifestyle of most working people and students these days require a portable gadget and so we recommend to frequent travelers a laptop instead of a desktop PC. But for home use, HP IQ506 is a good PC to have around the home.

    Camper,

    yeah, the HP IQ506 Touchsmart Core 2 Duo PC is really expensive. That’s the reason why in our review, we recommended HP IQ 504 instead (for home use) or a laptop (which are generally much cheaper).

    About your problem with RSS, i’ll just post my answer in your site. ;-)
