This was absolutely worth the money February 28, 2010 Melissa Carson (New York & North Carolina) 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I'm a mac person but I needed to test a touch screen computer for an expo where we will be using 27 of them. I absolute love this one, it almost makes having a PC okay.
A Fun All in One Computer January 21, 2010 Robert A. Kotlen 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
We are very pleased with the computer: Speed, ease of use, and the stuff packed in it are great. Windows 7 is the best part.
Computer Great, Windows 7 causing some problems January 29, 2010 Dazz88 (Georgia) 4 out of 6 found this review helpful
We have no problem with the computer so far. Service and delivery from Amazon was great, We are first time Amazon buyers. Our friend talked us into trying it. It was hard to throw away the additional $150 it would have cost to buy the same model at Best Buy.
My only problem is this, several websites and portals that we interface with for my husband's work and children's school have not upgraded to interface with Windows 7. We have literally had to set up our old computer next to this new one to access the sites that will not interact with the new computer. No fault of HP or the computer but still a real bummer!!!!
So far so good, not entirely convinced yet February 18, 2010 Paul Handsome (Brazil) 4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I've had the Touchsmart for over a month now and while do not regret settling for the AMD version, I sure would have liked the Intel one (pricier). The Touchsmart software doesn't run smoothly, it takes a while to load and sometimes does not work. The first days it would simply not work at all, but after I did a software update thru HP's system doctor suite, it improve, but still freezes sometimes.
In general, it's is not as the simulated images on TV or You Tube, it takes a while to load each program (videos, music, photos, canvas, etc) specially those media relates like music and photos (which was the whole idea of having the media computer after all). Once it's loaded it's fun to play with, to be fair.
My wife is satisfied with it, as her Photoshop and Illustrator run much better here than in the 6 year old computer that we had and the 21" LCD screen is beautiful and larger compared to our old CRT 15" monitor, plus the touch feature, which she really doesn't use.
I haven't been able to make it work with my LAN cable from the router, it is only using the wireless connection and somehow I think it could be faster if accessing the Internet through the cable, just a thought, probably wrong.
Windows 7 looks pretty much the same as Vista, which I have been using at the office for 2 years. But my Intel Centrino Toshiba Portege surely performs better.
Conclusion, I am glad I bought it, technology works great, sounds very good too, visual is a plus, much better than what I used to have at home, however, would like to confirm whether the 23" (which I don't) Intel version (Touchsmart 600) is worth the extra $500.
Will tell you more in a couple of months.
more beautiful than functional January 7, 2010 Rick (Houston, TX USA) 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
honestly, I do not know if the problem would be the computer or Windows 7. while working, happens very often the applications freeze
almost 100% of the time, when turning it off, becomes necessary to force shutting down of some aplications.
I had some more expectations, but, anyway, it is nice to play with the touchscreen, even tough it is not pratical to be used as a work tool.
