Raoul said: I was at Costco a month or two back, and saw a beautifully designed HP desktop system with a separate, glossy widescreen LCD monitor to boot. The monitor had integrated speakers and a webcam. Both were enclosed in a glossy, black plastic finish. The desktop system itself was expandable through those external USB drives that HP makes for their desktops, the ones that slide right in, had everything I needed (fast dual-core processor, lots of RAM, USB, Firewire, sound card, TV tuner card, great video card, DL DVD writer)... but ran Vista. That computer would have been perfect if it ran OS X. I'd have bought it on the spot, that's how much I liked it.

We bought the kid a Compaq laptop for school - very sleek and lots of features for a lower-priced laptop including an HD DVD player. Downside: It runs Vista. He's going to keep Vista, but either add a second partition for XP or run it under Virtual PC. He wouldn't wipe it for the Mac OS, but if it was mine, I would - if I could.
