yeah im buying a computer and ive done all the build you own stuff so I thought I'd look in stores and found the Insprion One 19. Now I just like the thought of touch screen but is the tech specs worth £500?

Processor
Insprion One 19 Intel Pentium Dual Core E5400 (2.7GHz, 800MHz, 2MB cache)


Operating System
Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium

Video Card
Integrated Intel GMA x4500 graphics

Memory
4096MB Dual Channel DDR2 800MHz Memory

Hard Drive
500GB Serial ATA Hard Drive

CD ROM/DVD ROM
16X DVD R/W

so would that be worth £500? 18.5" screen. Am I better off keeping to build my own or looking for another already make computer or what?

Edit: Also theres a cam, 6 USB 2.0 ports, 8 in 1 media card reader and microphone & headphone jacks

I would say that's about right.

Were it a normal PC, I'd say those specs are a little over-priced.

Personally I would get a proper graphics card just incase you wanna install more modern games, integrated ones don't do much in the world of gaming nowadays... :D

It's a little bit overpriced, by the way..
Oh and, no suggestions but I suggest a site to buy from; www.PCSpecialist.CO.UK (http://www.PCSpecialist.CO.UK) - They let you customize literally everything, from the case you want to the overclocking you want! (If you want any)

And they're fairly priced..

budget of around £70-£100, but prefer to keep it nearer 70.
