The ZPC: New All-In-One Keyboard-PC

This is certainly an interesting take on the all-in-one PC market. The new HP ZPC is an all-in-one PC packed tight inside the confines of a keyboard. Whereas most all-in-ones are packed into the monitor requireing you to add a keyboard and mouse, this all-in-one takes the exact opposite route.

The ZPC doesn't appear to be a mega power-house machine, but you can get a Dual Core 2 processor and up to 4 GB RAM, which is decent enough. I wouldn't expect to make this a gaming rig, however, as the best graphics card you can get is a Intel Graphics Media Accelorator 3100, and the rest of the models are integrated graphics chips sporting Direct X 9.0c support.

I can see where they are coming from with this, but I unless that keyboard is replaceable (it isn't), I'm not interested. I tear through keyboards at a ridiculous rate. At any rate, it's much more cost effective to replace keyboards than monitors. For now, I'll just leave this in the "nice try" bin, but if you are so inclined, you can grab one starting at $629 and going upwards of $1000 if you want a monitor too.
