HP iQ775 19-inch TouchSmart Desktop PC (1.9 GHz AMD Turion TL58 Processor, 2 GB RAM, 500 GB Hard Drive, Vista Premium)

We purchased this unit during a kitchen remodel. It replaces the older smaller tv of course, but is a much nicer unit. We use it basically as our kitchen tv & a way 2 browse the internet. We have it hooked into the family network via a cat-5 cable connection, although the wireless does work, it's just a good distance from the wireless access point. The feature that I like the most is the ability 2 display HDTV signals from an antenna that I placed in the attic; it's just hanging there pointed in one direction. So I use both the coax signal inputs; one from our cable provider & one from my antenna in the attic. I can get reliable HDTV signal from 3 stations in our area - would get more with an outside antenna with a rotator unit. I love the fact that with the remote control, you can backup & replay a portion of a tv program. I've also loaded a selection of my favorite audio CDs on 2 the disk, so it's my jukebox as well. I've had no problems at all with the unit. The only thing I would change is that the unit will turn itself on after I've shut it down & I think this is 2 update some settings related 2 tv programming or virus updates, etc. If I looked hard enough, I could probably find those. All in all - a GREAT unit. Everyone who comes in our kitchen want's 2 know 'What is THAT?' This kind of aggravates my wife who is the interior decorator who did the rest of the kitchen.

Great computer, we have in our kitchen & use it several times a day. Couldn't happier with this new touch screen computer.

We first purchased the HP IQ770... That was a great start but while we were at the store I found this model. The next computer that we purchased was the 775. We purchased 3 of them, they are 4 our business. We love them. They are easy 2 use. After having the problems with the keyboard on the 770 I invested in a Microsoft Wireless Keyboard but found that I didn't really need it with the 775. I like it better then the condensed keyboard, but it doesn't tuck away like the keyboard that came with the computer.

We also love the option of being able 2 watch & record tv with our computer.

If you are looking 4 something new, definitely give this a try. You will soon find that you are trying 2 touch every screen that you come 2 :)

This computer is a lot of fun & easy 2 use, the touch screen adds a new dimension which can make games more interesting & increases ones overall level of interactivity with the machine. The multiple ports make 4 great versatility & TV, calendar increase placement options; it is great 4 the kitchen environment. The built in wireless connection is easy 2 use, the wireless keyboard works well & I haven't had the problems described with the IQ770. The computer was at first a little slow moving - especially when booting up & Vista would hang if I wanted a complete shutdown. So I spent about $125 & upgraded the memory 2 4 mb (Kingston) & it now moves MUCH faster (Vista is a memory hog) and, amazingly, Vista now will shut down quickly w/o hassles!! Overall it's quite cool, I'm sure Apple will answer it soon but 4 windows users it's sort of a breakthrough in imagination & originality.

I recently purchased this computer & I'm very happy with it. It's fun 2 use & makes computing a whole new experience again. The touchscreen is a great & can even be used online & with gaming. My Pogo experience got a whole lot better! lol

The only thing that I find hard 2 get used 2 is the keyboard is a little smaller than I'm used to. Some of the keys are compact & in different places on the board. For example, the right shift key is the same size as a regular letter key & at times I miss it entirely while typing. Once I get used 2 it, I'm sure it will be fine.

If you want a computer that doesn't take up alot of space & is very fun 2 use, I couldn't recommend this one higher.

Enjoy!
