The HP HDX 18 Desktop Replacement

hp_hdx_18_f.jpg

HP’s HDX 18 is a desktop replacement computer that means serious business. Counting an 18.4-inch screen and a TV tuner among its features, it’s clearly intended to be a mean media machine. The dual 160gb drives are more than capable of storing large amounts of data. There’ll be plenty of room for your movies and downloads. Here are Wired’s thoughts on the device:

WIRED The HP’s massive screen almost requires you to watch some HD content from a Blu-ray disc or your telly. Excellent graphical performance will please all but the most stuck-up gamers. Reasonable price, considering its teeming features.

TIRED The swooshy “liquid metal” paint job probably isn’t for everyone. Volume, bass and treble controls are flaky.

The HDX 18 costs 2,000 USD, so if you’re looking to retire your desktop computer with this one, you’ll be doing so with style. Not only is it designed to be a replacement, it’s intended to be an entertainment centerpiece. If you’ve been finding yourself using your computer to watch video content online, then this might be the device for you.
