Which is the best Silhouette to buy? And I have a Windows 7 Home Premium Edition, will my computer work with a Silhouette? Thanks

Absolutely, you can easily use either. I think they only have 2 machines. I believe the cutting area is just smaller on the one.

How can be this Jason be so sure it has a 760 if theres no info about it? Do you work at the store or something? I really want to be sure what graphic card does it has and what os too before i even consider to buy this unit. Finally, if its true that it comes with win 8, is it posible to get it with win 7? (i dont really like win 8) Thanks.

I agree with the last guy: Windows 8 flies on this thing. Buttery smooth, the interface is so much friendlier, I'm now a Windows 8 fan (my main laptop is a Mac). Definitely install the Consumer Preview. A tip though: buy yourself a stylus. $10. Makes interaction and handwriting recognition much easier. I'm really impressed with the built-in handwriting recognition, seems snappy despite the slow processor. Also, download the AMD graphics drivers - it's a heft download but makes a difference to the running of the machine, plus allows you to play older games on the device too.

BTW, bought mine last Friday ... love it ... Windows 8 is funky and taking some getting used to, but the Twist is fantastic.

Two different machines with different purposes. The SNC is really made to be used independent from the computer where the Silhouette is not. The silhouette works with more complex software that offers greater control in what is being cut and how it is being cut etc, the SNC software is very basically and mainly used for converting SVG files to FCM. The SNC has a greater cutting force than the Silhouette Cameo, so therefore cuts a wider range of materials. I've used it with the thinnest of vellum all the way to burlap and fairly thick chipboard...my cameo cannot cut thick materials well at all. What I love my SNC for the most is doing print and cuts - no registration mark detection step like with the cameo - so it is quicker, and for cutting out stamped images. I also love that I don't need my computer to use it. I just keep it out on my craft desk and use it easily without worrying about having to stop using my laptop to cut something.

1. Does this monitor have built-in speakers? No2. Is the colour/picture crisp and clear? Average, not top of the line. Thought I'm using VGA. May be better with improved graphics card.3. Are the buttons easy to push? Yes4. Is this compatible with any Windows 7 hp computer? Do not have an HP. I have a Dell Windows 7 and it runs just fine.

The one that I purchased, was for a Windows based PC, and as far as I can tell by the Product Description on the details page, it is only windows PC compatible. You might look up the Inland website with Bing, Google or some other search engine, and contact them about it. Sorry that I couldn't be of any more assistance on this one. Good luck in finding yourself something that you will like.Travannah

I do lots of graphics, imposing on photos with other objets, etc....Could we pleeeeeease get an answer from someone that may be already running PSP X2 while using windows7? Thank you, Tiger

I'm curious how the computer linked with to the large plasma screen looks. I would think that 1024 x 768 on such a large screen might look a bit fuzzy or pixelated. Do you see problems with this? Would you recommend going for a higher resolution?

A tablet PC isn't bad for running something like Photoshop if your going surface 2 and if your going to do a lot of 3d you need something from like razor. Bottom line your spending thousands and your limited to a screen 1.5 or 2 times smaller than my yinnova. If your not planning to take it on the go this is way better.

Hi, I don't think the Cameo and the Silhouette are two different machines. I see only references to the Silhouette Cameo. The Silhouette program I have shows only a 12 x 12 mat but I believe you can cut roll vinyl with the machine. The program lets you scroll way past the mat. It goes to 35 inches. I have the fancier Studio Designer version which has side rulers. I see on Amazon there is a 12 by 24 mat available. I also have a Blackcat Cougar and it has a place to set mat size. The Silhouette mats are rather thin. My Blackcat mats are a lot thicker and more forgiving. My Silhouette now lives at our factory and my Blackcat is at my home. I haven't tried a Black cat mat in the Silhouette. I can't resist in telling you I found a way to redo the stick on the mats. I think the sticky on the Silhouette mat is waterbased so it can be cleaned off with soap and water. When it is clean, dry it off and spray a thin layer of Sprayway (name of manuf) No. 82 mist spray adhesive. Spray it outside or wear a mask. Make sure to let it dry as it can be gooey when wet. Amazon sells this spray stuff. I am absolutely thrilled to be able to keep my mats at perfect stickiness. I can easily remove buildup of the spray adhesive with paint thinner.

I would suggest a stronger vinyl. Look at your local print shop. I use 751 c or 651 Oracle . I use my Silhouette vinyl for projects for tiles, that stay in the house. You can also order the Oracle on line.. just type in Oracle vinyl online. Good Luck!!!

The one I ordered was windows 7 Home premium Ultimate 64-bit with a version of Microsoft Office trial that does not expire, but if you update windows you have to delete the new version to keep using......I am very satisfied with this laptop, I electronics technician by trade. I have not had any complaints other than the onboard video card. As long as you are not gaming it is fine just don't like that I cant have my icons smaller with the 1366x768 limitation. plenty of speed and storage, also boots crazy fast. Even with the large amount of programs I have on it. Hope this helps.............

Unfortunately, no. That is the only thing that Cricut is lacking. The only images you can use are the ones that are from the cricut cartridges. Granted, there are a lot of images and you can take just a part of that image and use that part. If your looking to use images you already own and cut them, I would then suggest the Cameo by Silhouette. A co-worker of mine has it and uses her own images. I love my Cricut and enjoy it so much!

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate, and the Tablet performs great. I have this tablet for several months, using it with Adobe Photoshop CS4 and Adobe Photoshop Elements. Never have a problem. I try a couple of tablets before, and this one is the best.

Can you tell me about Window's Vista working w/this? I read a comment & I just bought this from staples - ended up paying 249.97 for it (got the 50 instant rebate for turning in old Lexmar) -- Staples employee said this was the 'best' but after reading things here I am concerned. Have Windows Vista, Windows XP and Windows 7 & I need to know about working abilities before opening box or I'm returning it. I also see new sales ad of Staples & they are offering Kodak ESP on sale & that got great reviews, better than this HP .. so if anyone could offer some help I would so much appreciate it!
