Tough Love with openSUSE 11.1

HP TouchSmart IQ816 - Core 2 Duo T8100 2.1 GHz - 25.5" TFT

Above all else, we have to credit HP for taking a risk with its N-trig-powered line of TouchSmart all-in-one PCs. No other Windows desktop vendor has ventured into the relatively uncharted touch-based waters, and any future developments in touch on the desktop will likely use the TouchSmart series as a...

Dell XPS One 24 (PRODUCT) RED desktop computer (Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200, 750GB HDD, 4GB)

We liked Sony's Vaio LV180J 24-inch all-in-one because it works as a relatively complete secondary home entertainment system. Despite Dell's ambitions in that direction with its own XPS One 24, we don't think it's as well suited to the purpose. Instead, Dell's new large screen all-in-one fares better if you...
