Contest: Win an Hp Touchsmart 600 Desktop Pc
March 13th, 2010
[UPDATE 3/23/2010: The contest is now closed. Congratulations to Technabob reader John McClain (no, not John McClane) on taking the prize!]
How’d you like to get your hands on a brand spankin’ new HP TouchSmart 600 computer for free? Well, all you’ve got to do is keep an eye on Technabob for the next week for your chance to win.
Over the next week, I’ll be posting three more articles documenting my experience living with the HP TouchSmart 600 as an all-in-one media/entertainment PC. All you need to do for a chance to win is to read all three articles, post a comment on each one for a chance at the loot.
The folks at HP were kind enough to loan me a TouchSmart 600 for the last couple of weeks, and they’re providing the prize for one lucky Technabob reader too. The TouchSmart 600-1055 we’re giving away features a glorious 23-inch widescreen 1080p display, and has built-in Blu-Ray player too. The system has a 2.13GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P7450 CPU, 4GB of DDR3-1333 RAM, and an NVIDIA Geforce GT230M graphics chipset. It’s also loaded up with an over-the-air digital HDTV tuner, and even has an HDMI input for connecting your video game systems. The system also includes HP’s touch-based TouchSmart suite of media and home productivity apps, as well as Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit edition.
I won’t give away all the system and software details until I post my articles later this week, but I think anyone who gets their grubby little mitts on one of these will be very happy with the prize.

Great prize you’re giving away and I think I will have to win it!
I think giving a PC to a person for free is awesome.
Great prize! Hope to win it.
Great contest!
goodness! Anyone would be lucky to own one!
I almost bought the first model in 2003. Was crazy about the features but the old pocketbook would NOT open to pay for it.
Make that 2007…I’m old and lose track of stuff….sorry
This seems like an amaIng system. Cant wait to hear about its full capabilities. I wonder what it can do in the gaming department.
Im in!..I have been wanting one of these for a long time now.
Well all you’ve got to do is swing by for the next week, comment on the posts, and you’ve got a shot to win. That easy.
I’m interested to learn more about the features and how well they work. And the contest!
Oooh, a Touch Smart, can’t resist! Must follow TechnaBob closely…
I was waiting for this contest… I am folowing you on Twitter and I am also a Facebook fan. Great system… to bad that this is not an international contest… I am romanian btw.
Is it possible to make this a challenge and make it available for other countries too?
Yeah, making this contest available for other countries too would be a great idea
. This machine fits perfect in the all-in-one media controller role.
it’s about time someone added an HDMI input to one of these, media PCs were always rather useless to me without. if this also has an output, it’d be a perfect media hub.
Yeah, it’s really nice that you can just jack in your PS3 or Xbox 360 and play on there. There’s a composite video in too, so you could use a Wii, but I would have preferred component for better image quality.
The desktop might be pretty enough to drag me away from actually doing work on it, but I still want one
Everything seems to be touch now; iThouch, iPhone, and now touchsmart. I wonder what is next? touch projector…?
I Want to win the Touchsmart
This is wonderful! My ten year old computer is barely hanging on, graphics and audio are history now. This would make life so great to win this! Thanks Technabob! You rock!

Totally sweet!! I’ve been oogling over the TouchSmart 600 for awhile now. Can’t wait to hear all about how groovy it is. So I can want it even more.
It’s a great computer, but using the touch screen all day will be useful?
Great idea, I hope I win!
