A review of the Advent MT22 touchscreen all-in-one PC has been posted over at CNET UK. 'The MT22 certainly doesn't come across as shy -- a whopping great 21.5-inch LCD display is the first thing you'll notice, and nestled in a futuristic black frame, this hulking 1,920x1,080-pixel screen certainly makes a positive first impression. The second impression isn't quite so rosy. The display is crisp and colourful, but that glossy screen causes so much reflection we could actually see more of our own faces than we could of what was on-screen (and if you've seen our faces you'll know this is never preferable).'

PC Advisor have published their review of the HP TouchSmart 300 all-in-one PC. 'The HP TouchSmart 300 has analogue and digital audio jacks, five USB ports, a multicard reader, a DVD burner, a remote control, and an HDTV tuner. A gigabit ethernet port allows for easy connectivity, but using the included 802.11n wireless means you'll need to deal with the power cord only when you're moving the unit about. The stubby metal feet are also removable, and the unit can be mounted on a wall. Unfortunately, features missing from this model include HDMI and composite inputs for consoles, and the funky ambient lighting found on some other TouchSmart models that offered a distinct glow.'

PC Advisor have published a review of the Acer Aspire Z5610 all-in-one PC. 'The Acer Aspire Z5610's 23in touchscreen panel is well-utilised by the preinstalled plethora of Acer software, including a backup manager, a social networking application, a media hub, and a giant portal for launching (and dragging around) all sorts of individual applications. This bundle easily rivals HP's bevy of awesome applications for a touch-sensitive device. As for the screen's picture quality, the display is as bright as it is crisp. It delivers excellent saturation that really makes movies and graphics pop with life, and the powerful contrasts - hampered slightly by the strong glare of the system's glossy panel - do an equally excellent job displaying both the blacks and whites of a scene.'

CNET have published a review of the Sony Vaio L117FX (Core 2 Quad Q8400s 2.66GHz, 6GB RAM, 1TB HDD, Windows 7 Home Premium) all-in-one PC. 'The Vaio L117FX's design is an interesting hybrid between the Sony's last-generation cnet:link int="http://reviews.cnet.com/desktops/sony-vaio-js250j/4505-3118_7-33517630.html">JS and LV series. It retains the same size, wall-mounting capability, and HDMI input as the LV, but it also features the JS Series' softer chassis design, complete with the rounded frame-style front support. The new design will work fine on a desktop, but if you mount the system on the wall, the front support becomes superfluous. Unlike the feet on HP's TouchSmart 600, there's no way to remove the front support from the Vaio. The support does no real functional harm, but it would make the Vaio's look awkward mounted on the wall.'

PC Magazine have published a review of the HP Pavilion All-in-One MS214 desktop. 'The MS214 is a pretty standard looking all-in-one desktop PC. From the front, it resembles a 16:9 widescreen monitor, and sports a fairly thin profile. On the back, it has a bunch of connector ports. Like the Apple iMac and HP's monitors, the MS214 has a clean, minimally designed chassis and is connected to a stand via a single pivoting point. This makes the MS214 a lot cleaner looking than similar designs like the Averatec D1133. In my opinion, it looks better than simpler designs, like the eMachines EZ1601-01; it's certainly easier to tilt the screen on the MS214 than on the EZ1601-01. The internals include a full sized 320GB hard drive, DVD burner, built-in Webcam, 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi, and a six-in-one digital media card reader.'.
