Samsung Series 7 All-in-One (DP700A38-01) (list $ 999.99 at Best Buy) is an amazing desktop. With the Samsung logo on the back of the monitor of 16 mm thick PC rivals the Apple iMac as a desktop thin all that stands on his desk. It also has a clear glass touchscreen, which is one of the few to use a PC not look bulky on the screen. In essence, the display is on the bezel, so you can easily reach all parts of the screen until you reach the periphery. It is certainly not fast enough and powerful enough to do more than you expect from your main computer. But as good as the leaders in the space, all in one?

The design and development
The DP700A38-01 was one of the most television-like conception of space all-in-one PC. It looks like a 23-inch HDTV with built-in DVD player. In some ways, dictate the design of the proposed use: The screen has a resolution of 1920 by 1, 080 (1080p) resolution, it works great as an Internet TV. The screen is as bright and as clear as the Samsung HDTV. The desktop screen is as thin or thinner than most HDTVs. The glass has a surface acoustic wave touch sensor that reacts more like the capacitive touch screen on the shelves. The touch sensors on older infrared touch-screen computers are less accurate and require the display is surrounded by a raised bezel. The touch screen transparent DP700A38-01 it is easier to reach points on the edges and corners (like the Start menu button and close buttons).
Screen tilt back 90 degrees vertically and horizontally. 90-degree position is for a touch of good games, especially when two or more players are playing at the same time. And even if the screen tilts gently enough, is a bit 'of "bounce" using the touch screen in place. And 'disconcerting to see a tax product to do this, but the effect of a single hinge. The hinge is simple, and keeps the screen flat during most use, but it is too little friction to maintain a constant touch-screen sessions. Needless to say, you need to be demonstrated, even if you plan to use the touch screen touch for intense play. Another NIT would be lying on the ergonomics of a flat screen: You are likely to be curved on it.
The DP700A38-01 comes with a 1 TB, 7200 RPM drive, which is plenty for most users (which is enough to store hundreds of thousands of digital photos, for example). The office also comes with a wireless keyboard and mouse. The slots of the keyboard like a puzzle piece on a board in the base frame, allowing you to reclaim space on your desktop. The DP700A38-01 also comes with 802.11 b / g / n Wi-Fi, which is pretty standard these days on the desktop. The integrated speakers are sufficient for domestic use and come with software to optimize and tailor the sound to what you hear (music, movies, etc.).
It comes with four USB 2.0 ports on the back (one occupied by the receiver for the keyboard and mouse), and a USB 3.0 port on the right side. The USB 3.0 has a feature that allows you to upload electronic products, such as a smartphone or tablet, while the system is asleep. Perhaps the most important are the two HDMI ports, one input and one output. The output port is useful for multi-monitor configurations, you have two monitors at the same time may increase your workflow. The HDMI input extends the life of the screen, so that in the future, you can connect a laptop for when the bowels of the 7 series are too slow and you can use the HDMI input with a cable box or DVR true for TV on your PC. HDMI HDTV tuners were replaced as the "must-have" feature for fans of PC / TV. That said, it would have been nice to have at least the option of a Blu-ray player for early adopters with vast libraries of movies in high definition.
DP700A38-01 has some programs installed. Normal Office 2010 Starter is here, more than 60-day trial version of Norton Internet Security. A bit 'of bloatware like Skype, Wild Tangent and the Kindle is pre-installed. Samsung Touch Launcher turns DP700A38-01 screen tablets as the home screen. You can add any program from the Start menu or desktop shortcut, drag the program or shortcut, a little 'touch startup folder, use the touch screen. Touch Launcher also has a couple of widgets such as weather and time. It is not as complete as the system, HP TouchSmart, HP TouchSmart 610-1150y ($ 1,199.99 at Best Buy, 4.5 stars), but it is more engaging than the touch of Dell, hovering over the Windows 7 OS systems, as Dell Inspiron 2305 One (IO2305-4400ELS) (list $ 799.99, 3 stars).
There is a row of touch-sensitive buttons for the optical drive: the volume buttons, screen brightness, the display on / off source (HDMI / PC), power, and a shortcut button for launching the Touch software. The final touch is a button on the menu button on the controls screen.
Best Buy also has an extended warranty program, which offers customers an additional year of protection beyond the warranty one year most system manufacturers. There are two plans in this extended warranty program. The standard diet ($ 119.99) covers the system against wear and tear, power surge damage, and includes a "No Lemon" Guarantee of Purchase, where just replace the computer if you need more repairs during the coverage period 4. POINT Best Buy ($ 219.99) offers all this and the system also covers accidental damage from falls and spills.
Performance
The DP700A38-01 comes with an Intel Core i3-2120T dual-core processor technology and Intel Hyper-Threading HD 2000 Integrated Graphics GPU. The Office completed the trial video encoder handbrake 2 minutes 5 seconds and the test of Photoshop CS5 4:31. These results are mediocre, but certainly adequate for casual use of a family. Systems like the Dell Inspiron 2305 (IO2305-4400ELS) are a bit faster (1:47 handbrake, 03:54 in CS5), but they pale in true four-processor as the heart of Apple iMac 21, 5 inches (Ray) ($ 1,199 list, 4.5 stars) that cut across these tests quickly (1:25 handbrake, 03:29 in CS5). The DP700A38-01 from day to day performance is slightly better than average, scoring seven points in PCMark 2451. In addition to subjective observations, the office has played 1080p HD video without problems and the touch interface of the launcher system was sensitive.
Samsung Series 7 (DP700A38-01) was shot over the bow of all-in-one-class leaders, such as the HP TouchSmart 610 and 21.5-inch Apple iMac. This is a pretty decent show and a show. It also has some features of the standard, the lack of less expensive systems, especially in the HDMI port and 90-degree tilt of the screen. However, the touchscreen is not as good as the HP TouchSmart one, especially because the bounce of the screen that occurs when you use it. In essence, when the display is not vertical (degreees 0-89), we recommend using touch-screen Samsung sparingly. HP TouchSmart swing 610 is much more stable when using the touch screen, even if it is "only" a 60-degree angle of inclination (which works perfectly from a sitting or standing). As long as you're going to use the touchscreen as a main user interface, Samsung's Series 7 DP700A38-01 is a nice all-in-one.
