Buying a PC which one should I go for?
I really like the look of the Touchsmart PCs. Is there a lot of difference between the IQ515 and the IQ522? I would prefer to buy the PC that has more things attached (bells, whistles etc lol) rather than cut down on the price. I'm very grateful for any help offered.
