Anyone else played with the HP TouchSmart PC?

They have it at Costco and me and my mom were playing around with it. It's kinda cool...any other opinions?

Basicly its a twist on a tablet notebook PC. They took the idea of a tablet Notebook, made it a single unit without keyboard and mouse pad. But a nice little system.

If you get it just be aware that the system has no options for upgrading. It won't be very good at handling games and is meant as a basic buisness like system. If you really like the thouch screen and think it will be handy then go for it. But invest in allot of monitor cleaner since it will quickly build up allot of finger prints.

I see this system being better suited in a buisness setting as an interactive dirrectory or for other presentations.

Old post here but I'd like to know why it can't be upgraded? I seen one at Conns and like the system. Think it'd be great for my 3 kids. But if I did get it I'd need it to work as a home server and light gaming machine as well.

Like i said its basily an ovesized laptop on a stand. About all you can do is upgrade the RAM. It will not hold a video card so you are stuck with the onboard video which is no where neer ready for gaming. You could use it as a server but you may not be able to add more HDD space unless your willing to use several USB/Fire wire external drives.
