Posted: December 21, 2011

The HP TouchSmart 520xt Series PC could make the perfect holiday gift with its 23" 1080p HD touch screen, Intel core processor, 4 GB or RAM and 2 TB hard drive. Kevin Pereira and Candace Bailey take a closer look on Gadget Pr0n.

incredibilistic

Aesthetically, the iMac is the prettiest computer on the market, bar-none. Like comparing Sara Underwood to Susan Boyle, the HP is a few pieces of plastic slapped together with an application skin on Windows that serves absolutely no purpose or increased functionality or productivity.

Let's be real, does anyone really want to browse the interwebs reaching out the screen for hours on end? So even when Windows 8 is available I just don't see it translating beyond tablets. Not for extended use anyway. Might be cool for about 5 minutes but eventually you'll fall back to your mouse and keyboard.

Desktop + Windows 7 + Touchscreen = FAIL. One of the main reasons for having a touchscreen is because of mobility. This is unnecessary and downright useless for a desktop (or even most laptops).

I can not wait for windows 8 to come out. Enjoyed watching the demos from microsoft. The one listed in the video is $1000; but you can step up the hardware for a little more of the cost. Do not work for Hp, or microsoft. As well do enjoy mac products.
