New Computer

Well... I have my laptop, MacBookPro... but I'm getting a new room(basically just remodeling the guest bedroom and making my old bedroom the new guest room)... but my dad says that I can get a new Desktop computer, since my mom won't let me have a TV(since she things its a distraction for me....)

But, what do you guys think of this computer? Its the HP Touchsmart, with a touchscreen monitor. I think there are a few models, but here is the site:

Do you guys think this would be a good desktop, or does anyone have any other options that I should look into? My dad has a Dell XPS 720(the best Dell desktop they make so far). And I don't want a Mac since I will still be using my laptop which is a Mac. Oh, and I want Vista.

I personally didn't really like vista at all. The laptop made it like 5 months until it needed a new hard drive.

I use them for work more than anything, so I need one that can go for hours without deciding it doesnt want to work anymore and I lose everything.

And the touch screen seems like a good personal computer. If you want one for more business approach for working- I would personally go for something different.

That computer seems like something only a stupid person would buy.

Waste of an investment.

It just seems like a way to charge extra money for a feature that isn't needed, and specs that are average at best by today's standards :/

The novelty of that HP might wear off quite quick. I would recommend you a PC but I am not sure what you want from it, games? Word processing?

If that’s the case, then that is probably the single greatest piece of technology ever created, solely for interacting and viewing pornography.

Well if that is what he is after, then he should get a dell. Dells are really good for porno.

It seems too bothersome to navigate right now for a general use desktop. Vista wasn't designed to be used with a touch screen, anyway.. You'd probably end up only using it for the pre-installed HP bloatware.

Stop being ridiculous, it is sometimes cheaper and more efficient if you just spend the time and money to build your own Machine. This is a great idea because you do not get all that bs add ware that you get with name brands like dell and piece of shiet gateway.

Well... I don't know how to make my own computer, and I don't have the time to learn and do it. Plus... I have the money that I can purchase a computer.

But, I'm thinking of waiting and getting the touch screen Mac that is supposedly coming out...
