Looking for a LCD with a built-in computer

I remember seeing some stuff like that but now can't find anything like that.

It similar to the Imac but something for Windows.

I think your looking for something called a LAPTOP

Maybe you're thinking of a Gateway Profile PC.

You could buy a mac and then stick XP on it, you would have to wait a bit though for the hack to turn up though 😛

Sony Viao makes one but its ugly IMO. I'd get a tower (even microATX if you want small form facotr) and then you can upgrade it in the future.

I don't recommend the Gateway Profile. It's even more ugly than the iMac and is actually more expensive, way more expensive if you compare the bundled software.

The Profile isn't very thin as it has a deep base for the drives and motherboard. Overall build quality is pretty bad and the software bundle consists of Windows, MS Works 8.0, Adobe Reader, and 90 day and 30 day trials of some antivirus software. The 19" monitor version has only a 1280x1024 display.

If you need a floppy drive then maybe the Profile is right for you. But for most people, you're better off just building a normal PC. Use an LCD monitor and stash the case under the table.

... or just give Mac OS X and the iLife software bundle a try with the new iMac ... it's $50 less than the Gateway Profile, includes gobs of sotware, has a dual core Intel CPU, ATI X1600 graphics (the Profile uses Integrated shared-memory GMA 900 graphics), gigabit ethernet, mini-optical audio out, built-in good quality webcam, and even has a remote ...

friend of mine just got the a sony one. It's pretty spiffy, but....I agree with the above poster. The imacs are pretty slick for the price.
