HP upgrade for me October 25, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Love it and thinking about buying the newest 800 series for my son's room. He would then have a tv, computer for his gaming and for his projects without too many electronic componenets. It took awhile to get all the updates(automatically of course), but once all were installed (about 2 days) all programs worked beautifully. I will still buy a new all-in-one printer, wireless of course, to complete my system.
 Not too bad October 24, 2008

I got this from a relative who had it for 3 weeks and bought a 24" iMac, I have had it for 5 weeks, it works as any PC. A week ago something happened to the touch screen and now it's not working, not that I really need it but still. Also had some problems with the wireless keyboard which sometimes would not respond to any key stroke, now it seems to be fine, but I'm finding myself using my old wired keyboard that seems to have touch that I like.
I just started "remastering" my old 8mm family videos, but maybe because of the camcorder seemed to have a problem (Canon HV20) I couldn't transfer the videos from my Sony deck. I ended up going back to the original owner with my video gear. Everything worked in his computer just fine and the iMovie got bunch of my videos uploaded to the net automagically. Now I need to find somebody to fix my set up, or just wait and buy the next generation iMac. It's not as straight forward to use a PC for combining different media as there is no iLife type suite (a kind of MS Office to handle your photos, music and video), but this had Vegas Movie Studio installed and it's definitely good enough for me.
The fact that the display is not full HD bothers me a bit but I can live with it. The 500GB HD is nice but even nicer is the Firewire connector, I have a 1TB HD for backups and video, and the HD camcorder hooks up directly in it.
Overall this HP is quite good, but the iMac seems to be more future proofed and runs Vista better, I think it's cheaper too. I will stick with HP though, it was free (well, I swapped it to an old HP oscilloscope), and I have always liked HP stuff.
 Yeah but.. October 20, 2008

I can't get over the short life span of LCD screens.
I work at a hospital where we use only those screens and they all
crap out at almost the same time,over and over.
Now granted,we have them on all the time..but still.
The incredible brightness starts to fade and then it's all she wrote.
Finally a User Friendly PC October 15, 2008

This is what a PC should be. Touch screen is intuitive. Design is beautiful and setup couldn't have been simpler. Just plug in the power cord and follow the prompts. Aesthecially, HP has also hit a home run. The display is fantastic and the piano black finish fits the modern day flat-screen TV look. No one should have a problem with this PC looking like a piece of hardware in their living room or elsewhere. The HD TV tuner also works great once you connect the antenna.
About the only gripe I'd have is that Vista will not run some older software very well. I've mainly had problems with some kids' software which will likely force me to buy some new programs for the 3-year old since she can't use her older siblings' hand-me-down software. This is not an HP problem, though.
HP Touch Review October 13, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Overall I liked the product, it really did eliminate the clutter around the desk. The screen is big and beautifull. There seem to be quite a few "glitches" i.e. for no reason the mouse (wireless) will lose connectivity. The same for the Keyboard (also wireless). Less than one month after I purchased it, the whole PC crashed hard and I was unable to recover. I am waiting on packaging to send it back to HP to get fixed. More than just a little irritating.
