Cheap mouse.......2007-07-09
First we'll start with the good. This has to be the lightest mouse I have ever used. It's almost effortless to scoot it around my desktop. For the most part, the tracking is pretty accurate and assuming you're not gaming, it will do its job unremarkably.
The bad comes in when you have to use this mouse for extended periods of time. It's uncomfortable on the wrist and eventually (after using it long enough) my whole arm will start to hurt a bit. It's no stabbing pain or anything, but it is not a comfortable experience. I think part of the problem is that it is designed so that right- and left-handed people can use this mouse easily, although neither righties or lefties will find it very ergonomic.
As I mentioned before, the tracking is pretty accurate for the most part. The weird thing is, the optical sensor is either old tech, or it's just cheap, because every once in a while it will move the cursor across the screen without me touching it. Also, sometimes when I'm using the mouse it will freak out and send the cursor off to some distant corner, where it will remain until it decides to settle down and quit fighting. Weird.
Pros - Light weight, usually accurate enough for most tasks, cheap
Cons - Ambidexterous design means no ergonomics, occasional seizures make you fight for control of the cursor, cheap
Overall - It's a cheap mouse, and you get what you pay for.

Use the included remote control or touch screen to quickly and easily access music, movies, photos, TV shows, or radio programs. It's powered by the 64-bit 1.6 GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-52 processor (with 1 MB L2 cache), which allows you to easily run multiple programs without slowing down your productivity. Other features include a 320 GB hard drive, 2 GB or installed RAM (4 GB maximum), multi-format/dual-layer LightScribe DVD drive, tri-mode wireless networking (802.11a/b/g), Gigabit Ethernet, Bluetooth wireless connectivity, 1.3-megapixel Webcam with built-in array microphone, and the NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 graphics card with 256MB video memory.
This PC also comes preinstalled with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium, which includes all of the Windows Media Center capabilities for turning your PC into an all-in-one home entertainment center. In addition to easily playing your DVD movies and managing your digital audio library, you'll be able to record and watch your favorite TV shows (even HDTV). Vista also integrates new search tools throughout the operating system, includes new parental control features, and offers new tools that can warn you of impending hardware failures.
The Basics
- Processor: The 1.6 GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-52 processor offers a dual-core architecture, which delivers additional computing resources to help expand your PC's capabilities by providing higher throughput and simultaneous computing--increasing your performance by up to 80 percent. You'll be able to perform multiple tasks such as digital rendering and gaming all while running virus scan or other background tasks seamlessly thanks to the innovative Direct Connect Architecture. And it's designed to handle simultaneous 32- and 64-bit computing with no degradation in performance. You'll enjoy long battery life thanks to the AMD PowerNow! power management technology, which delivers performance on demand and can extend system battery life up to 65 percent. And the AMD Digital Media XPress technology delivers stellar multimedia performance and playback on digital entertainment such as games, streaming video and audio, DVDs, and music.
Each processing core has a 512 KB L2 cache (for a 1 MB total), and this processor can deliver up to a 1600 MHz system bus for lightning quick computing reflexes. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)
- Hard Drive: The extra-large 320 GB Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive (7200 RPM) offers a wealth of storage space, perfect for storing a vast multimedia collection or for editing digital video. This SATA hard drive also quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data--akin to FireWire and USB 2.0.
A built-in drive bay fits an optional HP Personal Media Drive (PMD), for up to 500 GB of additional storage that you can carry away with you when you go (PMD not included).
- Memory: The 2 GB of installed RAM (PC4200, 2 x 1 GB, 533 MHz) is a start, but you'll want to add more RAM to handle today's demanding multimedia and gaming software. This desktop has a 4 GB maximum RAM capacity (4 x 1 GB), perfect for high-def video and 3-D gaming.
- DVD/CD Drive: This multiformat DVD/CD drive is compatible with writing both DVD+ and DVD- disc formats as well as dual-layer (DL) DVD+/-R discs, which can store up to 8.5 GB of data. It features 4x DVD-R DL Write Once, 6x DVD+R DL Write Once, 8x DVD+R, 8x DVD+RW, 8x DVD-R, 6x DVD-RW, 5x DVD-RAM, 8x DVD-ROM, 24x CD-R, 24x CD-RW, and 24x CD-ROM speeds.
This LightScribe DVD+/-RW drive lets you laser-etch silkscreen quality text and images on to CDs and DVDs . Your software, PC and discs work together for a no-hassle way to burn just the labels you want. After you burn content, just flip the disc over, reinsert and burn your label--anything from a simple title to a full-disc work of art.
- Keyboard & Mouse: This TouchSmart PC comes with an HP Low-profile Wireless Keyboard with hide-away bay and numeric keypad as well as an HP Wireless laser mouse.
Screen, Video & Audio
The touch-enabled 19-inch widescreen BrightView LCD offers height/tilt adjustment for optimal viewing. It offers a native resolution of 1440 x 900 pixels, a contrast ratio of 850:1, brightness rating up to 300 nits, and a quick response time of 5 ms (milliseconds). The screen also has a vertical viewing angle of 160 degrees, horizontal viewing angle of 170 degrees, and a 16:10 aspect ratio.
Video is powered by the Nvidia GeForce 7600 graphics card, which was chosen by PC World magazine as one of the 100 Best Products of 2006 (July, 2006). It has 256 MB of video RAM. It features NVidia's PureVideo technology--which provides great picture clarity, smooth video, accurate color, and precise image scaling for video content. It also offers full support for Microsoft DirectX 9.0 Shader Model 3.0 and true high dynamic-range (HDR) lighting. And it's ready for the next step in graphics processing--SLI technology (Scalable Link Interface)--which delivers twice the performance of a single GPU configuration by allowing two graphics cards to run in parallel. The integrated audio card is configurable to 6-speaker surround sound, and it can provide two-channel audio via its integrated 12-watt speakers.
Networking, Connectivity & Expansion
The Intel PRO wireless LAN 3945ABG provides a tri-mode network connection (supporting 802.11a/b/g), with throughput up to 54 Mbps at 5 GHz (802.11a) and 2.4 GHz (802.11g). This TouchSmart PC also offers ultra-fast Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000). It also includes the following I/O ports

HP Touchsmart PC.......2007-12-27
I have the next version of this, the HP TouchSmart PC IQ775. So there are some differences in hardware between the two but the concept of this computer is right on! Within a few hours, touching the screen (either with the stylus provided or the tip of my finger) was very natural. In fact, when I was helping my son set up his new laptop (which doesn't have the touch capability), I found myself touching his screen, to his dismay, quite often! It is a great interface.
The look of the PC is amazing. The pics amazon shows for this doesn't accurately reflect that the screen is surrounded in shiny black...must be their flash reflecting. Having the Media Center open and being able to quickly check weather, calendar, get contact info, etc., is exactly how a computer should be. Oh, this wakes up from sleep mode incredibly fast.
I have only had this since Christmas and not a lot of time to play on it...but so far have been impressed. You can easily switch being the mouse, the stylus, keyboard shortcuts, and your fingertip.
I think you will really like this computer.
Not Good at all!.......2007-12-25
Freezing up most of the time, like the style, but the software freezes so much its not worth the price, Nice screen and nice idea but too many flaws.
same old.......2007-12-12
We've had our HP for 2 weeks or so. We found out right away about the keyboard, after I first changed the batteries. I thought they might be down as we bought a shelf model, less than $1000. at Office Depot. I feel this is good, as it is burned in, so to speak and we could avoid the so-called "Black Screen" We like it otherwise, nice computer with great features, but we wish it all folded up flat, as we are snowbirds and it would be much more convenient
Going back to HP in 1 week's time.......2007-11-30
I loved this computer for about a week. I had already heard about the wireless keyboard issues and was expecting them, so I was already using a wired one. My mouse had no issues. However, after 1 week, the monitor went black. The speakers still work and there is power to the unit because the computer itself still works. I had to hook up and external monitor using the mini-vga port. Of course, this works but is not acceptable since the extra price in this computer is all in the touchscreen monitor which I really liked because the kids were much more interested in using the computer. HP phone help was useless. She asked me 4 times if the monitor was plugged in. Each time, I reminded her that I was using the computer and that this was an all-in-one with no separate power cord for the monitor. It is too late for a refund (this was supposed to be a xmas present, so i had waited a few months before finally opening it.), so they sent me a box to ship it for repair at no cost. Just a big hassle to lose the home computer just before the holidays.
Good, but I had a monitor hardware problem.......2007-11-06
The HP Touchsmart is a fun computer to use, and I wish it worked as advertised. I had problems with the keyboard working properly (easily solved by using a logitec keyboard instead), and the monitor kept turning off on me - requiring a restart. Also the Vista operating system is fun to use, but I found so many little things compatible with it that the fun ends pretty quickly. The touch screen is nice and convenient, but I wound up using it a lot less than anticipated. Overall a fun machine for a short time, but unreliable hardware and the troublesome Vista OS caused me to return the unit and purchase an imac.
