looking to pick one up for sub £600 for the family pressie this year, there are a few about and whilst i appreciate you can get better bang for your bucks in a normal desktop without the touchscreen. its what we are after.
we only do general office stuff, email, surf and edit a few pics / vids. no hard core gaming, we have xbox's for that.

anyone seen any good deals, got any experience / suggestions

yes dont buy one, why do you need to touch the screen ?

its always dirty, kids dont undetstand how hard you need to touch them.

oh and i fix two or three per week where half the screen has stopped working.

to be honest cant see the point.

my advice look for a dell xps all in one.

Are you after a laptop or desktop PC ?

I'm after a Desktop Uncle Fista but I want all in one it's going in the dining room so want it nice and tidy, tv would be good but not essential. Not sure about the touchscreen, it's probably a gimmick, would be happy to forego it for better spec but budget still stands graemeck, the one in your link is over £800. I've seen touchscreen pc's for £579 with 4gb ram, 1tb rom, processor is not the best T4400 but would cope with what I need. I'm struggling to find many all in ones without touchscreen.

Any links guys?

How about something like this. It's small enough to secure/hide to the back of a monitor/TV and if you get wireless keyboard and mouse they can be put out of sight when not in use.

not a bad suggestion but I was thinking of mounting it on the wall and using the wireless keyboard and mouse on the dining table.

Sorry to drag this up but can anyone confirm if this forms a better base for a machine.
