Need Recomendation on new Computer

Looking for an all in one computer with 23" screen, WIFI capable with an SSD hard drive. Don't need a super rig don't play games. Old one just old and slow like me. Kinda like the look of Dell models. Would like to stay under $1500. Looked at many but can't seem to zero in on one. Guess we'll have to go with 8.1. Would appreciate any recommendations.

    Hmm.. didn't bother to read the OPs first post?

    OP is looking for an "ALL IN ONE" with a 23 INCH SCREEN.

    A "ALL IN ONE" IS DIFFERENT THAN A LAPTOP, a laptop with a 23" screen would be a rather big monster..

    All in ones tend to have touch screens and a separate keyboard.

    The system board, HD and some have built in DVD drive which are tucked into the BACK of the screen (HINT.. think like buying a monitor which has a system board, HD and DVD drive built in).

    I personally am not a "fan" of "ALL IN ONES", I have worked on them in the past and let me tell you they were not reliable back then nor easy to work on.

    A lot of the cost with a All in one is the TOUCH SCREEN.. Yep, if you don't believe me then do a search on what touch screen monitors cost.. so if you have no need for the touch screen (I am not a fan of them) then buy a regular desktop PC with a nice 23" monitor and call it a day.
  • If you end up with Windows 8.0, and don't like the interface, check out Classic Shell You can chose from XP, Vista, Windows 7, and switch between them.
  • DD bought a Dell all in one from Costco for around 500 dollars. No reason spending much more than that.

    If you use StartIsBack with Windows 8, you get the Windows 7 interface and it won't be obsolete as quickly. :)
