If you need a touch screen all-in-one PC in the UK, there is a big gap between consumer touchscreen computers and true commercial touch hardware. This guide compares the HiStone Hibertek T20 and T22 touch screen PCs with leading alternatives from Elo, Dell, HP and Lenovo, so you can choose the right touchscreen computer for reception desks, shop floors, classrooms, factories and self-service points.
What makes a good touch screen all-in-one PC?
- Projected capacitive (PCAP) touch – the same smooth multi-touch you know from smartphones, through toughened glass.
- Multi-touch points – 10-point touch supports pinch, zoom and two-handed use.
- Desktop performance – a touch screen PC that runs full Windows software needs a proper processor.
- Commercial ports – USB for scanners, printers and card readers, wired LAN and optional serial.
- Flexible mounting – desk stand, height-adjustable stand or VESA for walls and kiosks.
- Long availability – the same touchscreen PC available for years, so every site matches.
Hibertek T20: 19.5-inch touch screen PC
The Hibertek T20 is a compact 19.5-inch touch screen all-in-one PC with an HD+ 1600×900 display (TN as standard, VA optional) and 10-point capacitive touch. Inside is a standard Thin Mini-ITX motherboard supporting Intel Core i3, i5 or i7 processors up to 65W, SO-DIMM memory and SATA/M.2 SSD storage. It suits busy counters, staff terminals, production lines and anywhere desk space is tight.
Hibertek T22: 21.5-inch Full HD touch screen PC
The Hibertek T22 steps up to a 21.5-inch Full HD 1920×1080 touchscreen, again with 10-point capacitive touch, plus a VA panel option for wider viewing angles and a frameless glass front option for an edge-to-edge finish that is easy to wipe clean. It supports two 2.5-inch drives plus M.2 SSD, an integrated camera with mic options and a 4-in-1 card reader on the side.
Shared features of the T20 and T22
- Black or white chassis
- 2-in-1 stand, height-adjustable stand or I-stand
- VESA, Kensington lock, smart card reader, internal battery, external HDD tray and chassis intrusion options
- Camera curtain and anti-spy LED for privacy
- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, 2×3W speakers
- External 120W adaptor or internal power board options

Need a bigger touch screen? BF24 and E24
For a 24-inch touch screen all-in-one PC, the Hibertek BF24 and Hibertek E24 offer 23.8-inch Full HD VA panels and can be supplied with or without touch, so you can mix touch and non-touch versions of the same model across an office.
Touch screen PC comparison: HiStone vs Elo, Dell, HP and Lenovo

HiStone vs Elo
Elo is the name many people think of for commercial touch. Its I-Series range is excellent for kiosks, but many models use lower-power processors and are priced as specialist hardware. The Hibertek T22 gives you a comparable 21.5-inch Full HD capacitive touchscreen with desktop Core i5 or i7 performance, making it a strong Elo alternative for applications that run full Windows software.
HiStone vs Dell, HP and Lenovo touch AIOs
The big PC brands mostly offer touch as an option on 24-inch and 27-inch office all-in-ones. That is great for an executive desk, but too big for many counters and walls. HiStone offers 19.5-inch and 21.5-inch touchscreen PCs that fit where a 24-inch office AIO will not, with VESA, internal battery and smart card options designed for commercial use.

Touch screen all-in-one PC FAQs
What is the best touch screen all-in-one PC for business?
For most commercial uses, a 21.5-inch Full HD capacitive model such as the Hibertek T22 is the sweet spot: large enough to read, small enough to mount, and powerful enough for full Windows applications.
Is capacitive or resistive touch better?
Projected capacitive touch is clearer, supports multi-touch and needs only a light tap. Resistive touch is mainly used where users wear thick gloves.
Can a touch screen PC run normal Windows software?
Yes. The T20 and T22 run full Windows 11 Pro (or Linux), so they run the same applications as any desktop PC, with touch added.
