My mum needs a new computer, walked round PC World yesterday and they had just put on the shelf a new model with touchscreen.
It is a really good looking computer with good specs apart from the prosseser (AMD Turionâ„¢ 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-52 ) I think it is a 1600 i think

This is the PC HP TOUCHSMART

Thx all

Greasy finger marks all over the screen, yyukkkk. Bet it will make your arms ache after a while as well. Touchscreen is a nice idea, I think mouse is good enough for most things, you are paying over the odds for the touch screen and a pretty average performing machine.

Although its very smart and compact I personally I hate these type of machines my-self, If they go wrong theres virtually sod all you can do yourself, and have to call an engineer in. Its persnal preference really, it does save a few cables...

Yea my gf's got one of these compact type things, but we can't upgrade it for her to play css And yea, i'd imagine the novelty value of it wearing off rather quickly. Good if you want arms like Mike Tyson though
