I was at a MicroCenter in the US and played with one of these. I'm 55. I thought it was great for several reasons.
1. It was the first PC that was a stunning to look at as a iMac.
2. The touch screen was great, and very responsive
I don't think that I would ever need to move it around the house, so I don't think that your downgrading of the weight is a valid point. Do you carry your TVs around the house? If it's a TV or media center, it stays where you put it, doesn't it? You don't say, today you are a desktop and take it to the office! And if the screen is glass that could be contributing to the weight. Though, I'm glad the the screen support is 'battleship' like, but as someone with several movable mounts for LCDs on desktops, again, once it's set up, you don't really move it around a lot.
It's a shame about the performance ratings, it would be nice if it was higher, and perhaps they could have made it quieter and lighter if the power supply was a brick.
