Gateway One ZX6961-UB20P

The Gateway One ZX6961-UB20P ($779.99 at Best Buy) is a middle-of-the-road touch-screen all-in-one desktop. It gives you much of what an entry-level touch-screen user might want in a PC, plus a relatively large screen and a decent amount of performance for its price. With its second-gen Intel Core i3 processor, 23-inch screen, and decent hard drive space, it's fast and spacious. It gives up a couple of future-looking technologies (like USB 3.0 and eSATA) in return for its pricing, but many users will be happy with the system as is. The ZX6961-UB20P continues Gateway's current all-in-one desktop design strategy. Its glossy black chassis means it will likely fit just about anywhere in your house, short of a Victorian-themed room with elaborate arabesque wallpaper and chintzy furniture. The desktop is essentially the follow-up to Gateway's previous large-screen all-in-one, the Gateway One ZX6951-53 ($999.99 list, 4 stars). The newer model's exterior is virtually identical to the older model, with the same rounded front face. While the expanse of plastic below the screen on systems like the Viewsonic VPC221 ($959 list, 3 stars) looks like a "chin," the rounded face actually slims the Gateway system a bit.
