Intel Core i7-6700K processor - 4.00GHz with TURBO BOOST to 4.20GHz, 16 GB RAM, 2 TB Hard Drive, 34" WQHD LED.

I would not buy a new computer without SSD, certainly not one that cannot be upgraded or modified? Maybe that one can, but looks like it would be a pain.

People that use the term "Computer Geeks" should have their interwebs access taken away.... And being an old fart is not a valid excuse

I don't do all in one, computer geeks usually don't. Fanboys do.

How are you going to install water cooling or a new GPU? It looks like a great monitor that would be a lot less expensive and have a longer useful life without the CPU attached. It's not a bad CPU, right this minute. But this minute doesn't last.

Envious. :thumbsup

Looks Slick! is that your set up?

I got a HP envy with an i7 and have reheated it ever since.

All in one = no thanks

No ssd = garbage

I had an all-in-one once and didn't really like it....

No, just came across it and thought it was interesting... Might make for my next computer.

You can get it with SSD.

Need to take into account display resolution and refresh rate

Would need to have a decent go of it before buying. Not sure if the curved screen would be nice to use or make me feel sick.

suck a dick asshat :pimp

Amazon.com: Michael J. Wood's review of HP ENVY 34-a010 34-Inch All-in-One Desktop...

HP (has problems)

First, I hate HP computers. They come pre-loaded with endless useless crap.

I think curved monitors might be cool, but what about when it comes to making detailed graphics? If you're making trade-show signage for example, will rectangles look curved? Is this a distraction?

I argued with my eye doctor once because glasses they gave me distorted my view of my monitors. It was nice and sharp, but curved and distorted. Useless.

I can see the value of having a big curved screen though. I have 2 x iMac 27's on my desk and they are angled towards me giving me a perfect view of both just by turning my head. If curved monitors can do the same thing but without distortion, I'd buy some.

You can buy these monitors without computers inside them. Do that.

Agree'd :thumbsup

wow, that looks sweet!

Pretty sure the title of this thread should read lame fat old dudes inside

I have a curved Samsung monitor and curved Samsung TV, both are pretty good

Never had issues with HP but they lost me with the hard drive no SSD NO WAY

really bad bad bad ass!!!

:2 cents:

When they get to 4000 pixels wide I get interested.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of all-in-ones PC or Mac. Lots of reasons to keep things separate.

I prefer macs...

Not quite there yet.

AFAIK the 34" Samsungs are 3440 x 1440

btw the machine the OP posted only takes a max 16GB of RAM and has a 960A GPU, that would suck.

Components /Specs look good, but that screen is so wide.....

It's an HP so not interested.

That's kind of the point.... Beats running three monitors....

16GB RAM is the maximum and you're stuck with an under powered video card.

Get a Samsung 34" UWHD display and attach that to a machine with a decent video card.

It looked cool until I read HP...no thanks

I have a souped-up MacMini with hybrid drive (part SSD, part traditional HDD), 8 RAM, 2.6 processor. $1300 Add my own Monitor, mouse & keys.

The MacPro is a GB faster, and all SSD, but for 2x the cash, I'm liking my Mini for what it does.

I had a couple of iMac all in ones. They were great, but for travel, I like putting my Mini in my shoulderbag, for editing on the road.

The only time it slows down, is when a cam model on Chaturbate starts jackin' too fast. But is that ME, or them?

Unless for whatever reason you need every app/program on your computer running you don't need more than 16GB of ram.

The exception would be someone who needs several virtual machine instances up but even that's rare.


I'm sure it can be modified, the biggest complaint is the 2 TB spindle drive. I had a 1 TB spindle drive in my 2010 iMac and set aside a couple hours and changed it for a 1 TB SSD.
It made all the difference. I also upgraded from 8GB to 16GB.

My iMac makes no noise at all. :)

Come to think of it, Rochard is a gamer so yes, this is not a swappable (in practical terms) part and he'd do best to get something that has swappable components.

Agreed. I would never buy a computer with a hard disk anymore. SSD all the way.
