No HDMI on the 310. Only the high-end 600's have HDMI.

I just buy a 32in screen and hope to get new HP tochsceen 310 but there is no Video VGA output? why

MY impressions of HP 310 and HP 300-1360

First - what I wanted --
A computer for my kitchen with a smaller footprint, no big box, touchscreen input so I wouldn't have to use a keyboard on my counter,a TV tuner for my husband, priced right. This was to be a lifestyle computer, strickly for pleasure. --- Photos, music, cooking, internet, TV --- The one caveat to this all-in-one dream machine was that it had to hang on my wall, i.e.,it had to be mountable. The 310 seemed to fit the bill. Let's stop here for a minute. THE 310 IS NOT MOUNTABLE. When I ordered mine, all the sales representatives were mistaken and thought that it was. The chasis is not designed for the wall mount. Needless to say, I had to send mine back and replaced it with a 300-1360.

Leaving the mounting thing behind us, the 310 Touchsmart is a solid machine. With its wireless keyboard and mouse, there is a minimum of clutter and cords, perfect for the kitchen. Make sure to configure one with at least 4G of ram. I only had 2G in mine and it ran slowly. 4G in the 300 made all the difference. Setup is unbelievely easy. Plug it in and start it up. The touchscreen is just plain fun. I find myself going up to my other computers and trying to flick the screen.

On the negative side, the wireless keyboard on the 310 is wimpy for daily use. If this computer is mainly to be used in a touchscreen environment, then maybe it won't matter to you. However, if you are a student and plan to do a lot of writing this keyboard will not be sufficient. The keyboard on the 300 is much better. Also, not sure about the 310, but on the 300, you can't make adjustments to the video settings to get a sharper TV picture with the TV tuner. There are also no environment settings for the audio. Since the audio and video quality of this machine is great out of the box anyway, this is not a deal breaker, but a little dissapointing.

Regarding the HP Touchsmart software suite - the Wow factor is certainly there. It's a lot of fun to play with. I particularly like the Notes feature and the grafitti. However, in a lot of cases it's more glitz than guts. . For example, using the Recipe software, you can't email a recipe; can't recalculate based on serving size; can't make a grocery list from your recipe ingredients. All the other apps have similar limitatons. All of your information is there, but what you can do with it is limited. Hopefully, HP will give us more options with the software as time passes.

All and all the 300 is doing what it was intended to do, in style! I am using my own recipe software as well as the one provided by HP. I am sure the 310 would have performed as well if I could have mounted it on the wall as intended.

Final verdict? If I were to make a recommendation to one of my friends regarding a new computer for their kitchen, Hands down, it would be the 300 because you have the option of mounting it .
