 Katana Arcade Cabinet Doubles as a Jukebox and ComputerDesigned to sit on a table top, the Katana arcade cabinet has an old school theme going for it – it looks just like a retro arcade cabinet minus all of the bulk. The Katana sports a 17″ screen, two speakers and a subwoofer, it comes loaded with over 200 games, plus it also functions as a DVD player, a jukebox and a computer. And being that it is a computer, that means you can play regular PC games on it. The custom-built Katana is now available for a starting price of $2,495 and it can even be customized with your name as a custom marquee above the monitor. And actually, that price isn’t outrageous considering that comparable products usually cost even more then that.

touchsmart HP TouchSmart IQ770 PC ReviewWe think the HP TouchSmart IQ770 PC ($1,800 direct) has taken interactivity to a whole new level in terms of how people communicate with one another. Thus, while the Apple iMac can be credited with embedding the entire innards of a computer into the monitor, the TouchSmart all-in-one PC takes it a step further by effectively incorporating the use of touch screen technology and adding a bit of hardware muscle to drive Microsoft’s Vista Home Premium with Media Center as well as intuitively using its proprietary HP Smart Center Software (more on this later). And while the TouchSmart isn’t all built in to the screen, this by far is not a drawback.

 HP TouchSmart IQ770 PC ReviewNestled under the hood of the TouchSmart PC is a 1.6GHz AMD Turon 64 x2 Dual-Core Mobile Technology TL-52 processor and 2048MB of PC2-4200 DDR2 SDRAM, a 320GB hard drive, slot-loading DVD burner2 with LightScribe technology and the NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 graphics card with 256 dedicated memory, which is enough to make any hard core computer geek green with envy! Other features include: An integrated 1.3-megapixel HP WebCam with a built-in array microphone, wireless and blue tooth access, a 19” anti-glare touch screen monitor, embedded speakers, a wireless keyboard and mouse, a stylus, FM radio tuner, a NTSC TV tuner and over-the-air ATSC high-definition television tuner and a Media Center Remote Control. Clearly HP did not skimp...

Designer Handheld Vacuum Set to Stun
