The Telikin Touch is an 18-inch all in one PC centered on communication: it's got a simple to use touch interface, so it doesn't have the steep learning curve for a neophyte computer user. The Telkin Touch is built into a standard looking all in one PC chassis, with webcam and an 18-inch widescreen. The Telikin Touch was initially designed to be a "senior friendly" PC with a touch interface so users wouldn't need to use the keyboard and mouse. However, the system's information retrieval and social networking features should appeal to the general population and families too.

?The Telikin Touch is built around a white and clear plastic all in one chassis with an Intel Dual Core D525 processor, 2GB of DDR2 SDRAM, a 320GB hard drive, 802.11 b/g/n WiFi, and a 1,600 by 900 resolution 18-inch display. The system includes a webcam for video conferenceing, a standard wired USB mouse and keyboard, and is pre-loaded with a Linux-based operating system. The Linux operating system inherently protects the end users from Windows-based threats like malware, though of course this means that end users will have less access to store-bought software. To that end, Telikin has pre-loaded the system with an Office-compatible suite of programs, as well as lifetime updates to the pre-loaded programs and operating system.

Telikin also has preloaded a primary interface that feeds the user news, weather, calendar info, web browsing, video chat, address book, email, DVD playback, CD playback, and tech support. Phone and email tech support is free for the first 60 days, and $9.95 a month afterward. The system can support up to three separate logins, so you can keep emails and video chat records private. The Telikin Touch also has built in support for HP printers, in case the user needs to print things like online boarding passes or mailing labels. The Telikin Touch has a MSRP of $799 and is available now.
