HP has touted its TouchSmart IQ770 for a while now.  The initial all-in-one was introduced in April.  Now, the latest one has been released which has more built-ins and gadgets.

Here are the cool specs:

• 2GB of RAM
• 320GB of hard drive space
• high-def TV Tuner
• DVD burner with lightscribe technology
• 19″ monitor
• bluetooth keyboard and mouse
• Built-in web camera
• Built-in memory card reader

The specs are good and the price is very reasonable at $1,250.00.   Here’s the downside through: The computer comes with Vista Home Premium.  It’s not that the operating system is bad; it’s just that this operating system doesn’t work seamlessly with the webcam and TV Tuner.  Third-party software has to be used for those functions. 

Other than that, the computer is a great catch.  The mouse and keyboard may be placed far away as remote controls; the touch screen is phenominal; TV viewing is spectacular, and the picture quality is wonderful.  This will definitely give Apple a run for its money.  And the tech support for this computer should be minimal.
