Looks very cool for a basic- media usage desktop, touch is a nice feature.

Is it really higher than it is wide ? Though I'd love to see a 1900 by 1600 resolution on a screen.

 

[azcoyote]

That would be perfect for my kids or in the kitchen... Hmm..
Other than that...

 

[Anomalyx]

I have a feeling they meant 1600x900? Isn't that a decently common resolution?

 

[liveonc]

How hard is it to fit a small 4-32GB SSD just for Windows & an HDMI/VGA "in" so a person who intends to have a small PC/Screen & a big gaming rig can do it?

 

[darkchazz]

Can that integrated graphics card even handle that resolution?!

 

[nforce4max]

This looks to be a decent product at a reasonable price so no idiot doesn't try to play high end games on it. Fit it with a SSD and it will be a nice low noise machine.

 

[Darkv1]

I'm hoping that those resolution figures are wrong...otherwise finding/ making wallpapers for something like this could be a pain...

the only problem with all in ones is when it comes to repairing them. Having to buy a HP LCD or HP motherboard is expensive. Just recently replaced a HP desktop PC plastic front bezel for a customer, $160!. You could buy the whole case for that!. oh, and $140 for a 350wpsu!@ Nice one HP, way to rake in the cash!

Hope this is not a pain in my mind, most hp products I got are really problematic.

20" is too small.

It's a "Take 2 pay 1" promotion, don't worry.

 

[huron]

I always think these are cool, but have a hard time trying to justify buying one...still trying to come up with where I would use it.

 

[g00fysmiley]

first thoughts... wow those are some weak specs ... but good for the price... second thought those sad specs beat my pc still so what can i do >_<

 

[dallaswits]

I will probably try and get several customers to purchase the touch smart with 7 pro on it. Looks like a good product.

I read the sentence twice trying to understand WTF was going on.

 

[tu_illegalamigo]

Underpowered for all but the most simple of tasks. Good for DVR camera systems and HAS.

LOL @ 1600x900 pixels.

LOL @ 20".

And probably LOL at a crappy TN panel technology. But that's something most manufacturers don't tell, because they want customers to be astonished at the low price for a Full HD 24" monitor etc without telling them that the picture quality is actually poor.
