HP could have announced its TouchSmart 610 all-in-one only a shade too soon for it to ship with Core 2011 processors, but that does not mean the corporate was above pushing out a refresh just some months later. Now, this 23-inch beast is on sale with a lot of quad-core Core i5 and Core i7 Sandy Bridge CPUs. To recap, what makes the 610 special is its rigid hinge, which permits the 1080p display to slip down in order that it’s face-up, and nearly flat at a 60-degree angle — a more ergonomic position for poking ’round the TouchSmart software while standing. Like pretty well another HP computer available to buy, it comes standard with Beats Audio and, counting on how much cash you’re willing to shell out, you could trick it out with as much as 16GB of RAM, 2TB of storage, and your selection of NVIDIA or ATI graphics with as much as 2GB of video memory. Those Sandy Bridge models are available in now starting at $1,100, though as always, you may get an entry-level configuration with quad-core AMD innards for $900 and up.
