Summary: Complete Home Entertainment Center
Comment: After my 10 year old computer exclaimed "Capt'n,I'm giving her all she's got and she's not giving anymore!!!" I knew it was time to invest in a replacement! I am amazed at all the features this unit offers. Wires?? What wires? With the exception of one cord (power of course) this unit does not ensnare you with any wires or cords. You can turn the keyboard anyway you want and position the mouse without having to untangle anything...it's great! The entire family loves the size and the clarity of the 25.5 inch screen. The best part is that there is no CPU, it's all contained in the monitor housing. I certainly won't miss kicking the CPU under my desk! Windows Vista is easy to navigate. I consider myself fairly adept at PC usage and this unit gives me all I need and will serve me well for many years to come. Sorry Gamers, I can't give you any feedback on gaming...We use the TV for that. The only drawback is that the touch screen is fun, it also gets the screen dirty...so have sreen cleaner nearby and use the polishing cloth frequently! I would definitely mark this as a good buy!

Summary: glossy much of the same
Comment: beautiful screen cool apps but still the same malfunctions that my old windows machines had. Maybe the operating system still has bugs to be dealt with.
Customer Rating: Summary: It has it all but...
Comment: OK, you know all the pros from other customers, and I share most of them, but here are my cons:
- Too bulky and heavy. Don't even think to put it on a wall if it is not a cement wall.
- The support at the back of the computer is pretty hard to pull, you need to put the computer flat on its screen and pull hard on the back legs to install it.
- HP has good touch screen software, but for most of the applications that I use everyday (Browser,word processor, spreadsheets... ) I had to go back to the mouse+keyboard. Probably you will need to wait a few years to have the apps made for touch screens.
- The card reader (SD) got stuck and did not want to release my SD card. I called HP support, they told me that it was normal for the first use and to pull the card very hard. It's what I did and got back the card, but since, the reader do not latch on the card that I put in. So HP said that it was a malfunction and to send back the computer to them...
- When watching DVD, the sound, even at its maximum, is not loud enough to be heard at a 7-8 feet normal distance. HP support said to remove all installed software and return the computer to its original state. That what I did but it did not fix the problem.
Result: I do like the touch screen technology for a PC but it is not quite ready for the current window software. The HP touch screen PC has all what is needed but it is too bulky and heavy and need some adjustment to the card reader and sound system.
I sent back the computer to Amazon, hoping that I could buy a better system in a year or two.
Customer Rating: Summary: Almost perfect
Comment: When I first read about this new HP computer I was very skeptical...after all, I always thought that Dell ruled the PC world. This computer is much better than I had ever hoped. It worked right out of the box, no glitches, no silliness with a bunch of add on trial software. The screen is beautiful, the keyboard is crisp and a pleasure to use and the mouse works. My only comment is that the VESA adaptor to allowing mounting this computer to the wall should have been, in my opinion, included.. then it would have been perfect
I love this computer. This past summer I purchased a Dell XPS 1530 laptop and have had a series of problems but Dell evetually replaced the laptop. I wish I had looked at the HP line of laptops.
I am completely happy with the IQ816....what a great piece of technology.
Customer Rating: Summary: HP TouchSmart a Smart buy!!
Comment: After many months of researching desktops I finally decided on the hp Touchsmart pc. While it didn't have everything I was looking for, ie; bluray burner,1tb hard drive, it came pretty darn close. I looked at everything from an imac, to the dell xps one, and even a bunch of desktop pcs.
After looking more into blank blu-ray disks prices I decided that having a blu-ray player would be sufficient as I rent mostly anyway.
I have only had the computer for a couple of days now but so far it meets and exceeds all my expectations.
The touch screen is awesome to use as are the included wireless keyboard and mouse.
The touchsmart interface is easy to learn and has so many customizable features that I have barely started to digest all that I can do with the computer.
The PVR with live tv works well with my standard cable signal and was easy to setup.
I am only having difficulty getting the available hd channels to show up as the standard definition signal is adequate at best on the 1080p resolution 25.5" screen. More research is proving this issue to be a window media center issue and not the computer itself. As is usual for microsoft products.
The computer is fast and responsive and for the use we bought it for it does everything I want it to do and more.
I will add more to review as time goes on and we have more experience with the touchsmart pc
