An HP All-in-One 200xt Review - The New Trend.

Picked this up a couple weeks ago...did the buyers regret pop in?

Well I have an awesome built computer in my Man cave (for games, video, editing etc.) I also have a tablet (hmm don't think I ever use the thing) What I wanted that was not available a year ago was a large tablet. I actually was hoping Apple would do a bigger Ipad not a mini. ( what is a mini nice for? My Iphone five does everything then you need something bigger like the Ipad right not something a tiny bigger than your phone...maybe receive a Galaxy Note or GS3) Anyway they didn't but then I saw this product. I had to get it although the screen is not 1080 and there is no HDMI. These will probably be updated next. But those are the bad. The screen is actually nice, no hdmi means no PS3 but then I have a place for that.
So did buyers regret set in? NO WAY...I use this thing none cease. It sits next to my bed so they can pull up a film and sit it on the bed (netflix, amazon prime video, etc..) or I have a computer not a tablet or phone to look up stuff or bank/stocks whatever. Also pull up pics on twenty inches. Possibly read a book with Kindle app in landscape or portrait mode. Then I bring it downstairs and do my rosetta stone on the touch screen. Then I bring it to my keyboard room and pull up synthesia and learn a brand spanking new song on the piano. Then I help my tiny man in kindergarten learn his letters on it, his pics and the older does math on the touchscreen. See if it looks like a game with paint and colors than pencil and paper they actually need to "learn".
Then possibly hang around the fire and play some Monopoly or other games on it. ETC.......
Also windows 8 is great on this tool. ( wish I had a windows phone now in lieu of the iphone) The tiles can be set as anything and becomes faster to go where you need. Also swiping stuff out of the way or closing them is nice.
The preloaded games look nice. The pinball is awesome. Turned in portrait mode makes it appear like your actually playing a pinball machine.
Overall the ability to move this from room to another without wires is awesome. Putting it outside on the deck and using slingbox to watch the game while grilling and hanging outside is fantastic. I did get the i7 and max ram so it can do all that I need it to do without staling. The only thing I did not get is the SSD which I need in a transportable tool like this (although they do have a protection for the HDD if dropped). But the Sony upgrade was to high. You can buy after and install it yourself for cheaper. Also I bought a DVD/CD rom drive to hook up by USB in order to put in program (like rosetta stone). Finally I got a PenGO brushpen for the different paint programs and stylus option. And for the children to learn their stuff.
So for supposedly a niche market (per some reviewers) I think this is the best "toy" I have (Sonos is awesome as well esp. with added airplay now!!).
I would highly recommend this product to someone.
Oh Audio: The speakers rattle a tiny when turned high...but it is sorta expected with a subwoofer inside. But all in all they are great speakers and do the job well.
