So let’s continue our journey across the powerful desktop computers that can support intensive video gaming, and for today we’ll discuss more about the HP – TouchSmart All in One Computer / Intel ® Core ™ i7 Processor / 23 ” Display / 6 GB Memory / 1 TB Hard Drive, Model: 600 – 1155. So as its name says, this is an “all in one” desktop computer, which means that it has all the components you need integrated into a single unit.


So you won’t need to buy a separate display screen, because it is in the same unit as the rest of the components (processor, RAM memory, hard drive etc). From this perspective it is pretty similar to a laptop, but of course it is not portable as a laptop, and can be used just at home or at the office, plugged in an outlet.

It may not be a computer made specially for video gaming, but the features it has are powerful enough to support even the most complex video games on the market today. And since it has very good features, it also has a big price, and this gaming desktop has a price of 1,800 dollars at Best Buy. It comes with the best processor on the market right now, the Intel ® Core ™ i7 – 720 QM processor which features a 6 MB L2 cache and 1.6 GHz processor speed with Turbo Boost up to 2.8 Ghz (and also 8 way processing for ultimate smart performance). It comes with a 23″ LCD high definition multitouch screen with Bright View technology, HP Ambient Light and a 1920 x 1080 resolution. Since it is an “all in one” computer, it also comes with a HP low profile wireless keyboard with hideaway bay and numeric keys, and also with a HP wireless optical mouse. But if you are a really big fan of video gaming, you can replace those with special keyboards and mice made for advance gaming.

It has a good RAM memory of 6 GB PC 3 – 8500 DDR 3 SDRAM, which can be expanded up to 8 GB. Its optical drive is also the best on the market, and it has a Blu-ray Disc enabled DVD ± RW/CD-RW drive which features read support for Blu-ray Disc (BD-ROM) and  double layer support using compatible DVD + R DL and DVD – R DL media.

In order to store as many large video games as possible, along with other files you will definitely need a large hard drive. And this computer has just what you need – a 1 TB Serial ATA hard drive with a speed of 7200 rpm. A good gaming experience cannot be possible without a good graphics card, so this PC comes with the NVIDIA GeForce GT 230 M graphics which features 1 GB of dedicated video memory with support for Microsoft DirectX 10. And in case the display screen of 23 inch is not big enough for you, you can connect the computer to a High Definition TV, thanks to its HDMI port. Just like any laptop it also has built in 2.0 speakers with Beats Audio support, and a built in webcam with microphone. It has a HDTV tuner too, and a 6 in 1 media card reader (with support for Secure Digital, Secure Digital High Capacity, MultiMediaCard, Memory Stick and Memory Stick Pro formats).

It has a good number of 6 high speed USB ports, built in premium wireless LAN (802.11 b / g / n) and built in 10 /  100 / 1000 Base-T Ethernet LAN with RJ 45 connector for easy access to the internet. In case you buy it from Best Buy, it comes with an installed version of the Windows 7 Home Premium Edition 64 bit operating system. and some other installed programs such as: Microsoft Works 9, Cyberlink DVD Suite Deluxe and a 60 day trial version of Microsoft Office Home and Student Edition 2007. And finally this gaming desktop is also Energy Star Qualified so it uses less energy and meets strict energy efficiency guidelines.

So here was just one example of a powerful computer, that even though is not made specially for gaming, it has good enough features to support any video game. in case you own this HP all in one computer, we invite you to tell us all your opinions about it, and also the video games you played on it so far. Have a nice day!
