I’ll start by stating: You better off getting an Imac and dual booting windows as the Imac is a much more robust and powerful computer than this not counting the ability to have everything windows and mac wise together in one machine. This HP touch performs pretty decent but for the price it’s slow, takes forever to boot up, has a very low end crap video card so graphics/gaming is very limited, the keyboard is decent, the mouse sucks completely and it seems like half the time your fighting it for control, the touch features are cool but lag pretty bad and the sound is sub-par. I do not trust HP products myself because they have always been epic failures for me, but this is what my gf wanted for her new computer seeing as how her XPS & HP Pavilion both completely failed on her in less than 3 years. The dell XPS had a wireless card fail and screen totally fail, while the HP Pavilion laptop had the wireless card, sound card, video card and hard drive all fail completely one right after the other. That being said I was very sceptical about buying another HP but this is the one she has wanted since it’s release, so despite my trying to sway her to an IMAC 24″ for the same price she got this. Again the Imac with it’s way better hardware reliability and video card can run windows or any game/graphics eons better than this, so why get it? On the pro side: The wireless has been working well, the resolution is pretty good and the screen is clear, the keyboard light on the unit is a nice feature, it’s a little short on USB slots compared to an Imac or similar units but you have them, and the all in one feature is great for a less cumbersome system. It is designed well but not worth the price of admission. I wrote hp/Compaq off as junk brands years ago, hopefully if this computer sucks she will do the same.
24″ Imac of equal price >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Any Hp Touchsmart PC

This computer does so much, my wife has nicknamed it “The Cadillac”. Enough said.

I was hesitant to buy this since it’s an all-in-one. So far I LOVE IT! The touchscreen works well and the computer is fast. I do have problems with the touchsmart software crashing when using music. Not a big deal for me because I play my songs from itunes.
