I'm thinking of buying a new computer for myself as a Christmas present and was thinking about either the Sony or HP all-in-ones. Any comments on the pros and cons of these? Thanks.
All-in-one computers?

mostly everyones ganna say that buying from a brand is not a good idea...but i just got an HP on friday and could not be any happier with it so far it has a AMD 5000+ X2 2 gigs of RAM and a 360 gig hard drive with nVIDIA graphics and windows vista and it all runs real smooth and extremly fast

Hmm you might want to stay away from the 8500gt, it's a pretty poor performer. At least get the 8600gt.

The problem is you probably payed double what it would cost to build it yourself. And you haven't benchmarked it next to a custom computer identical to that with a good Mobo, GPU, RAM, or any of the other parts.

actully i checked and i couldnt build one cheaper...i got this for $450...and yea maybe someone with the same thing would beat this....but honstly i wouldnt really care...cause this is a decent computer once i put a new PSU and graphics card in
It not a good/bad idea; it's an idea that simply fits many people who don't have the time/energy/whatever to build a custom system. You will pay slightly more and in most cases the parts will not be super cutting-edge, but you will also get a computer that will last for years to come, and tech support if something does happen to go wrong. It seems that more and more people are adopting the 'Big computer companies are living in the dark ages and make worthless piles of crap' attitude because it's the cool thing to do...you know, like how everyone wanted to be Goth in high school

Companies like Dell, Hp, Gateway, etc are great for people who don't have time/don't want to build their own. (Also great for people who are just going to listen to music/read emails).
Yeah...it sucked. Maybe 1 out of every 15 kids, school of around 1400 at the time. Do the math. White makeup, black eyeliner, and blood red lipstick. I used to say everyday was Halloween.
Most ppl say no HP/ Dell....
$450 budget, a bit tight. However, just look at this post.

We come up with something around $300 for hardwares. Just get a OS for another $120...
