The kids and I have been having a difficult time with her being gone, so we asked her to Skype with us.īeing able to not only hear her voice crystal clear (the Beats audio on this thing is amazing) but seeing her beautiful smiling face on this massive screen made my heart happy. My oldest daughter recently moved away to college. Not only are we playing games together… but it’s allowing us to connect with family members outside of our home as well. Our new HP Envy 23 Touchsmart AiO has brought our family together again in more ways than one. Being able to use touch instead of the mouse to navigate “Stick Man” around took the game to a whole new level. As you can see, Ethan decided it was time to start a Stick Man game on the AiO. The children have to navigate “Stick Man” through different areas using tools like fire and rain to remove obstacles. Stick Man is a problem solving/critical thinking skills game. They like to start over (and over) from the beginning… it hasn’t grown old yet. We found the app called Stick Man that both children have been addicted to for several months now. Mindless time passing isn’t good enough for me… I try to focus on learning type games for the kids. With minimal instruction (I had to show him how to choose the color and paintbrush size) he was a painting fool.

We have always owned towers with separate monitors and speakers. It’s amazing how computers have evolved over the years. No rocket science involved, no computer geek necessary. There wasn’t any special installation for the wireless keyboard and mouse… they just “started working”. Yep! That easy! Windows 8 takes you through the process of choosing the language, time zone and signing into your Microsoft account (this allows the tiles to be “live”). It literally consisted of taking the unit out of the box, plugging the power cord in and turning it on. When we need the buffet it slides easily under the cabinet with about an inch to spare… we tuck it up against the wall. When in use, it sits nicely in the middle for the two children to share. We decided on the buffet section of our kitchen counter. We wanted it in a place that was easily accessible for the family (and policed by mom) but could be tucked out of the way when need be. When the box arrived our first mission was to find a central location to put the computer. When HP asked us if we’d like to try the HP ENVY 23 TouchSmart AiO my kids were over the moon excited!
