HP 1TB, 4GB, 20" Touchscreen All-in-One Windows 7 PCs

Well they arrived and are as fantastic as we'd hoped!
The touchscreen works as you would expect, you control the cursor with your finger and tap to click.
Very CSI!
It has two touch points which means you can use the iPhone-style 'pincer' movement to expand and shrink certain things but this will only work with software designed to do so which means it won't zoom in on your windows desktop.
Having said that, there is an HP application installed which replaces your desktop while it's running and has a sliding selection bar at the bottom of the screen.
This gives you access to all the usual windows gadgetry - music player, photos, DVD player, TV etc.
This does have the two touch point functionality and will pretty much give you most of the things the casual home PC user requires.
There is a built in camera on the top of the screen and when you take a snapshot, there are several effects with which you can 'fairground mirror' your face!
The DVD drive is Lightscribe so you can burn professional looking disks with your own pictures/images on the back (using lightscribe disks, obviously).
The TV is also pretty impressive.
There is an aerial socket in the back of the screen and it has a freeview tuner built in - it even records programmes to the hard drive.
All in all, an impressive gadget.
No home should be without one!

New 1TB, 4GB, 20" Touchscreen All-in-One PCs - Arrival Imminent!

We've got a new toy coming in within the next day or so and are quite excited!
They are HP All in Ones similar to our last special but with touchscreen and higher spec.
We've ordered the last three our supplier had in stock and can't wait to give one a good test run and report back here.
They should be available for less than £600 including VAT.

Watch this space!
