I bought this for my family for Christmas and they LOVED it! Everyone that came to the house over the holidays could not get over the touch screen capability. After I explained that it had a Blu-ray player and all the other features, they were sold. I had the computer sent to work before Christmas so I would have it ready when my family opened it on Christmas. Three guys in my office bought one for their families after they experienced the computing speed, the clarity of the picture and the touch screen capabilities. We have only had ours for a month but I do not have a single complaint.
This is perfect of a student in a dorm with limited space. It would work great as a television and a computer. I have always been impressed with Sony and Microsoft, but the marriage of their latest products has proved to be a giant leap forward for consumers.

2.0 out of 5 stars Caution: VERY loud fan, February 20, 2010

Great PC in many ways (all-in-one, large screen, touch, blue ray), but I've never used a computer with such a loud fan, so I'm returning it. It would probably work best in a noisy environment, where the fan noise was drowned out by other noises, but doesn't work well in a home, in my opinion.

My wife had a 4-year-old laptop she always used in the kitchen (while cooking...in-between activities) that we donated to her mother. I was always worried that something was going to fall out of one of the overhead cabinets and do some damage to it. When I was checking around for its replacement, I stumbled across this all-in-one computer. One thing I like about it (for us, anyway) is that it can sit up under the cabinet...anything falling out will only hit the wireless keyboard, which I can easily replace if need be. Maybe a minor feature, but a nice one.

Here is what I like about the product:

Beautiful, LARGE screen (best feature).
Fast processor.
Blue-ray!
Four GB of RAM (all I need).
Very quiet...we cannot hear it at all when it is on.
Built-in webcam and microphone.
Built-in wifi.
Touch screen...a neat feature to have, but I rather doubt we will use it very often.
Windows 7 64-bit, which I now have on all my PCs (four counting this one) and highly recommend.

Things to note:
It is heavy, so if you want portability, go with a laptop.
It cannot get television reception...some others models do, but I didn't want/need that feature, so I'm glad I didn't have to pay for it.
The first thing I did was remove all the trial software...Norton, MS Office 2007, etc.
You cannot upgrade later (add RAM, another video card, etc). The casing is sealed, so what you buy is what you'll have.
The hard drive is a bit on the small side, but I don't mind that...I CAN add an external hard drive later if I need to. Since this is for my wife, who mainly only uses it for email and web browsing, 320GB is more than enough.

You can get a laptop with the same features that this PC has for about the same price (as of this writing), but without the 24-inch screen. We are very happy with the purchase and highly recommend it. Although it's big, it looks great sitting out on our kitchen counter. It is a lot of money, but we have NO regrets in our purchse.
