The HP Touchsmart 520-1130ea is a Windows 7 Home Premium desktop PC with an Intel Core i3 processor and 4GB of RAM and a 1 terabyte hard drive for storing files such as movies, music and documents. Other features and accessories include a wireless keyb...
The pleasing display is one of the first things to sit up and take notice of. Its 23-inch full HD display looks great whatever the task. If you’re watching movies on it, you’ll find that’s when the HP Touchsmart 520-1130ea really shines. Colours are bright and sharp. The DVB-T tuner also lets you view Freeview TV channels to get even more from the HP Touchsmart 520-1130ea’s entertainment chops. S...
Those looking for a powerful desktop PC would be advised to look elsewhere. While the HP Touchsmart 520-1130ea can handle all the basic tasks with ease, it still isn’t powerful enough to run the latest power-hungry games as well as others, and take on as much without a stutter or two.
If you’re looking for a PC fit for work and the family, the HP Touchsmart 520-1130ea is ideal, but fans of high-end gaming, and processor intensive tasks should opt for something a little more powerful. HP TouchSmart 520-1130ea is tagged with HP, Touc...

Touchscreen all-in-one PCs work well as home computers, as they're quieter, smaller and more attractive than the traditional whirring black box PC. HP's TouchSmart 520-1080uk is typically compact and almost silent, but it's definitely not one of the mo...

For anyone who wants more than just a typical, boring old home computer, the HP TouchSmart 520-1010a is there for you. It's an all-in-one computer that's easy to set up and use, and it features a built-in 23in LCD touchscreen that gives you one more wa...

If you're in the market for an all-purpose all-in-one PC, look no further. HP has done a fantastic job on its HP TouchSmart 520 Big Screen All-in-One PC - it's got pretty much everything you need, including a Blu-ray disc drive and USB 3.0, and it's on...

The TouchSmart 520 doesn't achieve anything that TouchSmarts before it haven't already. Still, unimpressive touch capability aside, it makes a decent all-in-one touch product worth checking out if the size and price fit your needs.

We've already reviewed the HP TouchSmart 610-1030UK and the HP Touchsmart 600-1220. Both were great all-in-one multimedia PCs and now HP has released the TouchSmart 520 with Beats audio. Designed around a 23-inch touchscreen monitor, the TouchSmart 520...

We’re yet to be convinced that touchscreens are the way to go with Windows 7, especially with touch-focused Windows 8 just around the corner. But the TouchSmart still succeeds thanks to a bright, highly-detailed screen and a great audio performance.

HP once built its TouchSmart line using notebook components because they required much less active cooling. Limiting the number of fans inside the machine made it quieter. This TouchSmart not only uses a desktop CPU—Intel’s low-power Core i7-2600S, run...

Considering how close HP came to selling off or severing its world leading PC division, it's products like the new TouchSmart 520-1070 all-in-one (AIO) that make us glad somebody switched out the company's water supply. Actually, it's HP's old CEO, Leo...
