Summary: Overall Happy
Comment: Good computer... received my HP IQ816 factory direct about 3 weeks ago, so I'm still learning more about it as I go. I find that the computer looks great, although it took some time to get use to the "bigness" of it. The TouchSmart application is just OK, you can't use it for web browsing, just for things like thumbing through pictures or music. I find myself resorting to the keyboard and mouse much more than going for the Touchscreen.
Things I like:
1.) Blu-Ray DVD player
2.) Ease of setting up
3.) No tower
4.) No cords (or at the very least only a few cords)
5.) Plenty of convenient ports on the side
Things I dislike:
1.) A bit sluggish
2.) Can't get used to the remote control, also hard to operate without looking at it directly
3.) Resolution of some movies grainy
4.) SD card got stuck, pulled GENTLY and STEADILY to get it out
5.) Many HP technicians do not speak English as first language
6.) Poor speakers, very weak sound, MUST have separate set of speakers to be at all happy with your viewing experience (speakers, when plugged in, are conveniently controlled through keyboard- and remote-control mechanisms)
I would not buy this computer strictly for its' touch screen function, it really isn't that useful for everything you need to accomplish on the computer.
IF you buy your computer from HP, they WILL price match (must purchase computer first). I found the identical computer from www.greatpricenow.com for $1,499.00; HP DID PRICE MATCH so I got this computer for 1499.00.

Summary: Great Computer, Horrible Operating System
Comment: I purchased this computer about 5 days ago and loved the beautiful touch screen, the integrated TV tuner, the Blue Ray disc player, and the processing power. It is able to multitask very well without slowing down the system.
The problem is the Windows Vista OS is the worst operating system ever. And I do mean EVER. I am an advanced user and have built computers and used many operating systems in the past but the Windows Vista that comes with the computer is the 64 bit version which is supposed to make it have greater memory handling capacity. However, the system is full of bugs, typical Microsoft quality. It crashed on me over 5 times within the past five days and there are many software programs that are not compatible with the 64 bit version of the Windows Vista, I did not know this prior to buying the system. Also, the computer is very sensitive and unstable and keeps coming up with driver conflicts that rendered my Blue Ray-CD drive and flash drive inaccessible. The Windows start menu also malfunctioned many times causing me to be unable to open applications or to even shut down my computer without pushing ctrl-alt-del. I had to solve the driver conflicts by using the system restore function and has already needed to restore my system 3 times in 5 days. I tried reinstalling the driver but Windows kept saying the drivers are good and up to date. The problems with the 64 bit version of Windows Vista has so consumed my daily use of the computer that it has completely distracted me from how great the computer system actually is. It is very unfortunate because clearly HP has put out a great product but the people at Microsoft continue to put out very poor software full of bugs and has held PC makers and users captive. This is what happens when a company has a monopoly. Overall, the computer is excellent but the operating system makes the computer useless and a hassle. Because of this, I am planning on returning the computer soon and hope they will eventually have a version of Windows that can actually work. It truly is a crime that Microsoft can put out and charge money for defective and useless products.
Zero stars for the Windows Vista 64 bit that comes with the computer
Five stars for the computer hardware

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!
