HP TouchSmart IQ508a

HP Pavilion Touchsmart IQ508a PC  is a touchscreen PC where you can be able to do an action on it with touching the screen. It is equipped with wireless keyboard and mouse. This computer is not a "perfect" computer. HP TouchSmart software is also included and is the major highlight of the PC. This software allows users to listen to their music, play stored videos, check the weather, write post-it notes, play games (like Spider Solitaire, Chess Titans, and Mahjong), and surf the Internet. The interface is divided into two major sections, with the one on top displaying live content. The touch-sensitive screen worked well for the main icons, but unfortunately we had some issues pressing (and dragging) the smaller icons on the screen.
Since the unit comes with a built-in TV tuner, users can record TV shows directly to the hard drive and watch TV shows when they want to. It also comes with a built-in Wi-Fi, allowing users to stream/retrieve content from their existing home network.

This is the Late 2009 version of iMac with 27" screen. As usual, iMac always make a simple but elegant technology which has become their trademark. With a very high quality display and wireless Mac keyboard and mouse this "thing" is the most simple desktop I ever seen. With HD display it is very suitable for graphic designer. I tested Iron Man 2 HD trailer in the iSwitch Shop today and my impression is one word. "Wow!"

For this version of Mac all the USB and Audio slots are embedded behind the beautiful screen. Mac technology of elegant always way in front of other competitors  but a great power always comes with a great responsibility
a great computer always come with a great price. For me who is a Windows user since born first time using computer, I don't quite get the Mac OS work. So if you offer me to choose between money or iMac.. I definitely choose "MONEY" but different people come with different thinking.
