Gaming Thinking of buying an All-In-One PC

[B-Blue]

So, I've been thinking of buying a PC. Right now I have a Toshiba Satellite U300-150, it's good and all, it does the job pretty well. But I still want a more power machine.

So I saw this...

You can get a Tower PC with higher specs than that for less.
but of course they don't look as nice, and you would have to buy a monitor.

for the same price. This one owns.

nah dude don't get all-in-one it sucks ballz most of the time and its really cheaper just building ur own PC.
and u get the best parts ofcourse and not some 3850 ati or something like that

I would say go for it, it looks like a quite a good all in one

 

[Ferrariman]

Go for it, unless you want a gaming rig.

 

[DSGamer64]

Better off with a iMac for an all-in-one computer and just dual booting Windows to be honest, superior specs for a bit more money

 

[Joe88]

you can get way better specs for the price

 

[B-Blue]

Thanks for the help guys

Looks like I'm gonna go for it. I know I can get a better specs for a lower price, but the problem is I don't know how to build a PC. And I'm not gonna be using it for gaming. (Just work, work, work, and then maybe watch a movie or something....)


@DSGamer64: A lot of people suggested the iMac, and said the same thing about dual booting. But I don't have any experience in this kind of stuff (dual booting, sounds hard :3). I just want to buy a good PC, install my shit and start working. Besides, I'm not a big fan of Macs.


Thanks again, everyone.

looks good enough if your not doing anything intensive... you really can get more bang for your buck if you shop around a little but as far as just for functional and aesthetically pleasing that looks alright.... my advice is wait a week while checking out other deals within your budget... check places like futureshop/bestbuy dell newegg and tigerdirect... you'd be surprised what you can come up with.... those cool startrek flatscreen touchy computers are pretty awesome lol... okay have fun

 

[Raki]

well an iMac will give you a far better processor, which will help you alot with your work...
EDIT:
3,06 Ghz C2D, 21,5" Full HD Display, 4 GB RAM, 500 GB HDD, Nvidia 9400m (not that good for games)

you will get this for 1099 Euro

Go for it, unless you want a gaming rig.

QFT.
Screen looks ugly as hell IMHO though

 

[piratesmack]
