What interests me, is that these computers have reasonable size touch screens - around 24 inches.

It’s probably wishful thinking, but if the screen was large enough and worked well enough with the editor, you could almost consider mixing on it.

It may not be as good as a real surface, but it could be a useful addition for some monitor applications - better than doing it from FOH, not as good as a dedicated board (of course) but better than a lap top.

You could use it to display and operate a sub mix with a second person for a budget theatre production … etc.

hello,

i can’t recommend the touchsmart from HP. The computer itself is great but the screen is really reflective (if that is the right english word…). We tried to use it in a theatre but it’s really annoying to make sure you are in the right position to see what’s on the screen instead of the reflection of the front of house lights or something… We use an acus EEE top with touchsreen now, less computer, better screen!
