Well I can certainly point you towards last week's thread on why alot of people on here wouldn't touch 'all in one' touchscreen PCs with a bargepole in case it prods you in a more sensible direction.....

thank you guys, i have read all thread and now not sure which path to take, don't get me wrong i love the idea of touchscreen p.c who wouldn't but i had said already to O/H i would hardly use the gadgets on there. what should i go for then this is what i want from a p.c

250GB HARD DRIVE
3G - 4G MEMORY
WI-FI

INTEL PEN DUAL CORE PROCESSOR
ANHLON DUAL CORE OR THREE CORE
HAS TO BE A GOOD MAKE, PLUS A GOOD PRICE OR DISCOUNTS OR CODES. now can you find me what i want. thank you again guys:santa2:

You missed something from your list of "must haves" ...must have a working capslock key...

Anyway, to answer, box-shifters make PCs for the masses, dell, Packard bell, acer etc... I'm a great believer in a custom PC for an individual..from any reputable PC shop (independent), get a PC built to fit YOUR needs, not those of the masses.
..or just build your own

good morning gonzo127 and databaseerror,
i forgot i also need a monitor pref 21" - 23" my needs for p.c are " your gonna laugh" :rotfl:i mostly need it for COMPS:rotfl:mse of course, photo's, films just normal run of mill stuff, my dgchildren are not into games yet.. well my grandaughter loves ladybug game:rotfl:but i am sure she will be into them the next time i am due for a new p.c or upgrade. anything else you need to know i am around most of day, thanks again guys:kisses3:

£700 budget for a PC to run a browser..crumbs...pretty much the cheapest new PC available anywhere is up to the job. Pop into your local PC shop..tell them what you want the PC to do, tell them it must be near silent and you should be able to walk out with a decent enough PC and a couple of hundred quid change.

gonzo127

agreed any pc you would buy now would be enough for those tasks so personally i would say budget ~£300-350 for a base unit and ~£200 for a good monitor which as databaseerror has stated would give you around couple hundred quid in your back pocket

although just make sure your local PC shop is not PC World

If your going all in one, have a look at the Sainsburys Medion, with cashback and Nectar points about £545.
