An all‑in‑one touchscreen can do what you want, but choosing the right one comes down to prioritizing two things: the screen/touch quality and the hardware that will actually run the apps you care about. ’s budget question matters — spend where it counts for your main use (display and GPU for video/games; SSD and CPU for snappier general use).

Quick, practical checklist to use when shopping or evaluating models:

  • Screen and touch: test responsiveness, multi‑touch and palm rejection in person. Understand the touchscreen tech (how it works and limitations) before you buy (Touchscreen overview).
  • Display panel: prefer IPS or equivalent for wide viewing angles and better colors. Aim for at least 1080p if you watch HD video.
  • Performance: get a discrete GPU or a higher‑end integrated GPU for casual gaming; choose an SSD for the OS and apps and a larger HDD for media.
  • Connectivity: check for USB 3, HDMI (in/out if you need capture), network tuner support or a coax input if TV is required.
  • Audio and ergonomics: built‑in speakers on AIOs often disappoint — plan for external speakers. Try the included keyboard/touchpad for comfort.

If you want TV from the PC, a network tuner (single device on your home network) is usually cleaner than a cheap USB dongle; see examples from companies that make tuners and capture hardware (Silicondust HDHomeRun). For media playback and PVR front ends, use dedicated apps like Kodi (kodi.tv) or other modern PVR clients.

A few cautions: AIOs are less upgradeable than desktops. Check the manufacturer’s driver and OS support before buying, and test the unit in real‑world use (video playback, light gaming, typing) like and suggested so you’re not surprised after checkout.

You want someone to recommend you a all in one desktop. Is that right? If i am right, what is your budget? I can't see anything when you say maybe this. Is there an error or some sort?

I got my mother a Dell inspiron ONE 2310. (Just the basic model, a pentium and Intel HD graphics)

It easily handles watching videos, playing DVDs, listening to music, surfing the net and typing up documents.

I haven't tried any proper games on but its not a very high spec' so I don't expect much.

The base model didn't have a TV decoder but you can always stick in a USB device.

Wireless keyboard and mouse are comfortable, accurate and responsive, no loss of connection at all.

Then theres the touch screen. Wonderfull.

The default screen font was too small e.g. when trying to select individual menu items from a list of words. Even on a 23" (full HD) screen!
To make Windows 7 a bit easier to use, I changed the font size to 150%. As well as more readable text this also gives you bigger areas for normal sized human fingers to fit.
IE9 is fully touch ready, other browsers not so integrated. Windows 7 itself could also have more touch features throughout.

Microsoft are working on that but of course they will call it windows 8 and will be charging for it!

So go for a higher spec' with discrete graphics card but expect to may more than you would for the equivalent desktop box and monitor.

I was at the Microsoft Store a couple weeks ago, and I came across an HP TouchSmart 610 Quad Series customizable PC. I played with it quite a bit and it was really fun to use. It had a 23" screen, and the screen was not overly touch sensitive; the touch sensitivity was just right, feels just like the touchscreens I use at work. I didn't have to press too lightly or too hard for my touch to go through. It had a 2nd generation Intel i7 quad-core processor, powered with a choice of several powerful graphics cards. The wireless keyboard and mouse that were with the PC were great as well. It's an All In One PC that I'd love to own, and I would recommend checking it out if you are interested in All in One PCs.
