There was also a dead spot over by the left side of the screen. Hopefully, it was a sample defect, and not indicative of the model line. One thing detracting from the touch experience was the uneven friction on the screen: It felt like its coatings were applied unevenly. When it works, the touch interface is responsive and snappy. It's not quite as good as HP's current TouchSmart interface, but it's much more touch-centric than the simplistic Dell dock on the Dell Inspiron One 2305 (Blu-ray) ($1099 direct, 4.0 stars). You can bring up a touch-optimized overlay for Internet Explorer, video and media players, and the usual Microsoft Surface apps.

It's a little more dynamic looking than the Mac OS X Dock, but it fulfills a similar function. The app icons are lined up at the bottom of the screen, which is an improvement over the haphazard groups of icons all over last year's TouchPortal screen: The available apps scroll left and right similar to how they appear on HP's TouchSmart interface. You can jump back to Windows by tapping on a floating icon located two thirds down the screen that looks like the last screen you were working on before opening TouchPortal.

The TouchPortal interface then takes over the screen, bringing up a large clock and space for widgets, like weather and memos. It's constantly active in the background all you have to do is touch an icon on the top right of the screen to bring it up. The ZX4352-33e is one of the less expensive multi-touch screen PCs out there, and Gateway is improving its TouchPortal interface rapidly. You'll get used to it, but on first flush the visible screen looks too small for the chassis. Since the ZX4352-33e is smaller, the screen bezel looks thicker than on competing all-in-one desktops. The system has a 21.5-inch widescreen, whereas the Gateway ZX6951-53 was equipped with a 23-inch one, and both have full 1080p HD 1,920 by 1,080 resolution screens. The front of the bezel is clean, except for the large backlit power key. It looks more futuristic and organic than the blocky Gateway One PCs of the past. This time around, it a friendlier curvy design on the front bezel. The ZX4352-33e features Gateway's new One design cues first seen in the Gateway One ZX6951-53 ($999.99 list, 4 stars). But missteps in usability and quality in the day-to-day grind cloud the system's positives and leave the ZX4351-33e well short of a victory. The Gateway One ZX4351-33e ($779.99 list) is an improvement over previous mid-price Gateway all-in-one desktop PCs, but is it good enough to unseat touch screen masters like the HP TouchSmart 310? It has a better price, better multimedia performance, and nicer styling than Gateway's previous mid-priced all-in-one PCs. Best Hosted Endpoint Protection and Security Software.
