Posted January 19, 2011 - 9:32 am

HP's 20-inch Omni 100 all-in-one desktop sports an extremely low asking price for an all-in-one of this size ($559, as of 1/18/2010), but we're still hard pressed to recommend its admittedly lackluster combination of features, for all but the most dedicated of bargain-shoppers.

Review: ASUS EeeBox PC EB1501: Stylish, But Not Speedy
