HP Envy 20-d030 TouchSmart All-in-One Desktop

I have the advantage of having the previous generation of HP's desktop touchscreen computer the "HP TouchSmart PC" and there have indeed been many improvements in this second generation the "HP ENVY 20 TouchSmart PC". First an improved responsiveness and with Windows 8, many additional functions available from the touchscreen. The physical design is also much improved: 1. The screen is completely flat when viewed head on instead of a front bezel that protruded from thee touchscreen in the earlier model, 2. The PC stands on a sturdier and flatter base instead of the easel/calendar sort of rear leg that characterized the earlier model. 3. The keyboard is appropriately sloped without raising it on the (still flimsy) thin plastic bottom legs which fractured on my previous model. 4. The basic software setup took under 10 minutes till I was able to use the PC and access the Internet. 5. The robustness of the new sound system is apparent compared with the previous model. 6.

Review about HP Envy 20-d030 TouchSmart All-in-One Desktop

Compared to the Gateway similar stacked pc, this HP I much more preferred. I tried the gateway 23", but this HP seems more solidly built and both being an all-in-one touch screen pc, the stand on the HP is much nicer allowing better tilt of the screen. This HP sits on a pedestal where as the similar Gateway has a back attached "kick-stand-like" pull out back pedestal. With the Gateway, you can not adjust the screen tilt. The HP is much wiser with their display allowing screen tilt to suit your viewing angle. Powerful and fast system. Some bloat software comes factory installed, but that can be user removed. If you want an windows 8 machine, "touch screen" is the only way to go. And this HP all-in-one version is even better yet.
