HP SpeCtre One

[Rogifan]

New HP AIO. No optical drive. I won't be surprised if the new iMacs are optical drive free too. Reviewer is wondering why this AIO doesn't include touchscreen. I've never understood why you'd want a touchscreen on a desktop computer or monitor. Doesn't seem very ergonomic to me. What's the benefit? Isn't that what the track pad is for?

Gotta give these companies credit, but I still don't think they match the fit and finish that Apple does, not matter how hard they try emulate Apple's aluminum and glass look.

yeah they say the future of desktops is going to be AIO

I saw this on 9to5Mac.

I'm actually lost for words.

And people wonder why Apple sue.

Touch screens

They are really good if you like smudges when you watch videos. A friend of mine had one of the HP AIO machines they made about 5 years ago. She never touched the screen. Also when she bought a big plasma TV she was not pleased to find out that HP had felt no need to include external video output. Looks like this machine may be the same. I am not overly keen on AOI but failing HP laptops are why I bought an iMac two years ago.

This looks nice but without OS X on it then it will always be inferior to the iMac
