HP Envy 23 vs Apple iMac 27-inch vs Asus ET2300INTI ;Who is Winner?

W.A.Khan,                                                                                                                                             20/4/2013,                                                                                                                                                                              HP Envy 23                                                                                                                                                    A lower-end version of the Envy 23 would make a decent, if unremarkable touch-screen all-in-one.
But, This high-end review configuration has no distinguishing characteristics, leaving it outmatched next to its competition in this price range.
The bottom line: A bland effort, the HP Envy 23 has nothing to recommend it over other Windows 8 touch-screen all-in-ones.

VS
Apple iMac 27-inch                                                                                                                                              A thin new design and a competitive, logical set of core component updates keep the top-end Apple iMac on elite ground.
But, The lack of HDMI input is frustrating, and Apple's continued reluctance to add a touch screen may bother some.
The bottom line: Apple sticks to the fundamentals with the new iMac, relying on design, strong features, and overall polish to maintain its leadership among high-end all-in-ones.

But, Commodity PC styling won't win this Asus system any design awards.
The bottom line: It's not the most attractive PC out there, but the Asus ET2300INTI has a broad array of features that will entice those looking for a mainstream Windows 8 all-in-one.
