Hewlett-Packard's $999 Omni 220-1080qd is a welcome mainstream all-in-one that lacks a touch screen. Rather than adding touch hardware and software to this unit, HP instead has included a fast Intel Core i7 CPU, plenty of RAM, a discrete graphics card, and a Blu-ray drive to offer a complete all-purpose computer for under $1,000. I can recommend this system to anyone looking for a speedy mainstream desktop for a fair price.
The Omni 220 is the bigger, faster, more expensive sibling of HP'sOmni 120 all-in-one, also without a touch screen, which we reviewed earlier this fall. Both units feature clean, if nondescript styling, although the Omni 220 is unusual in that HP gave it an iMac-like pedestal design, rather than use a pair of feet or some other support underneath the display. The pedestal makes it easier to store the keyboard directly underneath the Omni 220, but otherwise the benefits of one design over the other are mostly cosmetic.hp omni
