Windows 7 has arrived, along with an army of new and interesting desktops. The new OS supports multi-touch, so now is a great time to pick up a touchscreen all-in-one PC for the family room, kitchen, or dorm. Many even double as HDTVs. For a little more upgradability, a PC priced between $500 and $1000 is a great way to start the new year off on the right foot. It's worth noting that more than half the models on PC World's Value Desktops chart are priced close to $500 (without monitor), so it's clear that you don't need to break the bank if you need only basic tasks like word processing, browsing the Web, and firing off e-mails. If you're a more demanding user and interested in say, video editing, then we recommend taking a look at our Top 10 Power Desktops, priced at about $1500 and above.
