    HP TouchSmart PC


    [​IMG]


    The good:
    Takes advantage of Windows Vista's touch screen capability with useful, easy-to-use software; combines with HP printers to become an at-home photo kiosk; contains all of the features you've come to expect from a modern digital media-oriented home PC. [​IMG]

    The bad:

    Pokey performance for systems in its price range; fixed configuration; no HD optical drive option.

    [​IMG]
    The bottom line:
    HP's new TouchSmart PC IQ770 is not as fast as Apple's iMac, nor does it have the same clean-lined elegance. It makes up for those problems with intuitive touch screen software you'll actually use and a comprehensive lineup of features. If you're looking for a home PC to organize your family's schedule, or serve up media in a kitchen or another small room, we know of no other system suited so well for the task.

    Dude, I didnt even know this existed until yesterday, when I was at Costco, and they had this there, and I didnt even realize it was touch, but the screen was so big, I just touched it, and the things on the screen moved! I probably sound like such a little kid right now. lol

    I think that it looks pretty cool but I already have a mac. The mac is great and it is so fast. I kinda think the touch screen is pointless but still really cool.

    I think apple has something similar to it in the works, maybe a tablet device. Jobs kind of shot down them slightly, which means we will see a release of it within a year or two.

    I have a rule of only buying apple products for computing, besides monitors as the cinema displays are ridiculously expensive and I don't need that big of a screen.
