Decent size and performance for the price, Beats Audio does enhance the sound experience
No Bluetooth, Failure to innovate in the touch space, Infrared technology means multitouch is skittish, Magic Canvas interface is laggy when using touch
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.
