 Mostly Good, 2008-10-31
I got my Touchsmart about six weeks ago and like it pretty well. It is easy for my kids to use, which is one of the main reasons we got it. I also use it for our main TV just because its on the right level and easy to use there. One day the channel kept changing and we didn't know what was going on until my seven-year-old realized there was a fly walking around on the screen! No complaints about the sensitivity of the touch screen :) The biggest problem I've had with it is the TV tuner connector. I connected the coaxial cable to it and it never seemed to fit right, and it kept getting fuzzy because I couldn't connect it correctly. Eventually the TV tuner connectin piece broke lose out of the machine and was hanging by a wire out of the computer. It seems as if a piece is loose, or they need to include an adaptor that makes a better connection to regular coaxial cbles. It is off to HP today or tomorrow to get fixed under warranty.
 Very pleased with the HP TouchSmart, 2008-10-27
I've had many different conventional desktop and laptop computers in the last 20 years.
I've been using a Dell 17' laptop that I like, but I wanted a larger screen without the clutter of a conventional desktop.
The "all in one" computers offered everything I was looking for. I found four manufactures that offered "all in ones", Apple, Sony, Dell and HP.
I decided on the HP IQ506 TouchSmart and I am really happy with this unit. Extremely clear 22" display, wireless mouse and keyboard, built in speakers.
Clean look, the entire computer, display and speakers are one unit.
I have not used the touch screen feature much but may find it convient in the future.
I have recommend this computer to my friends.
HP upgrade for me, 2008-10-25
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, 2008-10-24
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.., 2008-10-20
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.
