"Can you believe a 4 yr old can figure this out."
Pros: Touchscreen is fantastic and anyone can use it.
A 4 year old can use it without any help.
It looks so nice you want to touch it and can!
They say it is slower but, I have had no problems yet.Cons: I don't like how it doesn't have the upper end speed like iMac but, with that said I have not had a problem with the OS yet.
Summary: Bottom line I have had this for less than 24 hours and have become a firm believer that iMacs aren't everything. They look nice sitting in the stores but so does this. If you had the money to put into this unit like Apple does with iMac I think the pedestal for this would shine brighter. Very user friendly and you get emersed in the touchscreen use.
I like this product over iMacs and Sony's all in one because of the touchscreen and the ease of use.
While I was over trying to figure out why my wife would want this unit over a very powerful iMac my daughter began her journey into the touchscreen era. She did it all her self by watching others and got to the games and started to play them with out anyone telling her how. If that is not a big selling point for a family then I can't sell anything.
I have brought this unit home with a little reluctancy but, I think this will suit my family very fine. I will not have to retrain my mind to conform tothe iMac OS. I have always been a windows user.
The keyboard and mouse are wireless, standard. It is an option that you have to pay for on the others metioned. The keyboard is very sleek and I like it vs. the traditional bulky keyed keyboard with other desktops.
