HP has done a very good job of creating a home machine with all the bells and whistles. They're well integrated and in general make the PC easier to use than most Media Center devices I’ve examined. There's a price premium on the TouchSmart IQ770 and even with £100 off when buying from Comet, £1,200 would buy you a much higher spec conventional PC. This is horses for courses, though, as the HP machine is ideally suited to a family environment – or for preventing starship core breaches.
