This is the way a lot of computers will be in the future: wireless mouse, wireless keyboard, supplemented by a touch-sensitive display . . . and a built-in TV tuner so you don't miss a thing while you work. Did I mention that it has about the same footprint on your desk as a laptop, even with the keyboard?

Sure, HP was thinking "media center" when they designed this, with its built-in ATSC/NTSC TV tuner, its "super multi" DVD burner/Blu-Ray player, integrated webcam, high definition audio and its five in one memory card reader. But doesn't it just cry out for additional uses for that Intel 64 bit dual core processor running at 2.10 GHz with 4 GB of RAM, that 10/100/1000 Mb/sec LAN, and the built-in wireless 802.11b/g/n interface?

Don't let their imagination limit how you use this machine; it's capable of so much more. And if you buy it, maybe you will be, too.
