Well, that's not all I can say. I agree with the other reviewers: this all-in-one is really, really nice. This is like going from driving a (70's era) Honda Civic to driving a Cadillac Fleetwood (ok, I'm dating myself but...) Excellent computer. Like other reviewers, I am SO glad I spent a little more & got this configuration than going with something less expensive. I shopped around and compared prices, features, etc. and ordering this from HP was something I did after tremendous research. I would much rather buy from the source! This was purchased for personal, home buisness, and college use. I haven't even begun to use all of the features but did quite a bit of exploring the first day I set it up. In regard to set up: What set up??? I have NEVER had anything so easy to get up-and-running in my life (and I've been around awhile - obviously from the 1970's automobile comment). I don't use the touchscreen much (yet) but am pleased it's there. The Beats Audio is incredible, the webcam is great. My 19 year old, when I give him permission to use it, thinks it's awesome. Delivery was on time & everything was packaged very well. Okay, you get my point. This might not be the most-techie-type review but if you're on the fence, jump off it and just buy this! I took the other reviewers' advice & I am very happy to add mine to the list of happy, happy customers.

I Love this all in one. I bought it for my home office. Not only do I get all my work done lighting fast... I get to watch my Live TV shows while working. The touch feature is nice when I remember that I have it. I'm so glad I splurged... It's worth every penny. Stop reading reviews; its awesome. Happy Shopping :)

1. So easy to setup, about 20 minutes and your done (mostly because I kept thinking that I had to be missing something...and re-looked everything over & over), otherwise maybe could be setup in 5 minutes. 2. Aesthetically pleasing to the eye. 3. Almost sound free, except when waking it up I can hear the DVD drive making a fan sound for about 2 seconds. 4. Great price point. 5. Touchscreen is not much of an advantage point yet, but impressive to friends or family when showing off the new system. 6. Biggest flaw so far: As mentioned in other reviews, no HDMI port. This poses a problem for me because my Directv box only has an HDMI port...which essentially means that I have no way to utilize the built-in HD tuner. It's possible that I'm not setting it up correctly, but I've looked everywhere for support on the HP website under the user manuals, with no success. Prior to purchasing the computer, an agent on the HP website through online Chat said that I would be able to use the HD tuner, but I'm pretty sure they gave me misinformation. In the end, a bummer but not a big deal because I planned on only occasionally using the computer for the TV signal.

This pc is everything you could ask for. Wireless set up with no problems. Ability to touch screen or use mouse is definitely a plus.

Have you ever just couldn't make up your mind. That was my problem. I wanted the touchsmart, but was afraid because I have always had a tower. So do you stay with the tower and wires and space issue or just go touchsmart. It took me months then one day I just said I'm going to get it. I LOVE MY TOUCHSMART . I don't love it for the touchsmart, but I love it for everything else. Space is number one. I am now totally wireless is 2. The increase in speed because of technology. The monitor is as big as the flatscreen in my bedroom, and the touchsmart is just a really cool feature. Don't take as long as I did in making up your mind, just go ahead and do it. Will this product stand the test of time as my last 2 pc's? Time will tell, but it certainly was less expensive. I'm only sorry now that I waited so long. I will not tell you about my new GE Washer and Dryer because I have nothing good to say about that except - don't buy GE...

I know it happens - but we all hate it when it happens to us. The computer doesn't work - I received a disk error upon start up, called Tech Support, and a replacement computer is on the way. ......but a $1,000 machine shouldn't be broken right out of the box......VERY FRUSTRATING

I've only had mine for a little over a week now, but I have absolutely no complaints. The screen resolution is impressive. My kids use the touchscreen more than I, but the times I have, it has excellent response. The processing speed is lightning fast, and I highly doubt if we'll ever scratch the surface of the 1Tb hard drive. My wife and kids use it for homeschooling, and it handles a network of this one, two other laptops, and a printer flawlessly. We ordered it through the HP website, and delivery was on time and with zero defects, i.e. packaged well for shipping.

Had a HP laptop for 8 years and had to get a new one. Didn't need a laptop anymore so I went with the all-in-one. Easy setup; no regrets at all. Sales staff was awesome too!

Very easy to setup and use. Only one power cord to deal with, and very compact and sleek looking.

Pros: iniital setup was like 5 minutes to start using the system. superb resolution screen...almost too good to be true...23" screen is excellent, tilt really a good feature. wireless kb / mouse really nice, first time using wirelesss. con: doing a performance check seems the graphics card drags to system performance which based on the processor is 7.3 but overall base dragged down to 4.6. kind of surprised. Will be considering updating the graphics if possible. over all highly recommend
