I have had the pleasure of this fine machine now for a month, and I must say I'am glad I went ahead and spent the additional money and would highly recommend you doing the same. Also I'am very happy that I was patient enough to research all of the posibilities, because I saved 400 Dollars when I purchased this from Amazon .com. Ed Kirk

I had an HP Pavillion which was, to put it simply, a complete disaster. I swore I'd never buy am HP ever again. In checking out replacements, I looked into some All-In-One's like this one. After careful research (and some trepedation), I decided on this one.

I use the PC as a media server and bedroom TV and it excells at both. As a media server, I get flawless performance streaming music, photos, and video to my DVR's in the living room (DirecTV HR20 and HR21). As an added bonus, however, unlike the similarly outfitted Pavillion, this computer runs DirecTV2PC flawlessly. That means HD Video in my bedroom from my living room DVRs. The DVD/BD player is great, and I love the discrete slot loading mechinism behind the screen. Also, one cable (power) coming from the back beats the usual rats nest of cables around most PCs!

The PC's preformance is lightning quick and I can use Vista as soon as it boots up (no more waiting 10 minutes after boot-up before I can do anything!).

The touchscreen is very responsive and hyper accurate. The HP Touchsmart software is great, but I can use Vista without a mouse with this as well. I can even launch from the quick launch bar with my finger!

The screen is big, bright, and really pretty to look at. The ambient light for the keyboard is customizable and really pretty.

All in all, for TV, media, games, and even some work, this is the best computer out there and well worth the money!

P.S. At 54 pounds, Amazon still delivered for free!!!

All I can say is that I liked it so much that I purchased another one for my wife. Had a slight problem with the power adapter but HP took care of it without any hassles. My hat goes off to HP for a great job on customer service and also a wonderful product.

My 2 year old PC suddenly failed last week. I went looking for a replacement. I was surprised to see that "All in One" desktops were now made by most of the name brand companies. This HP was very impressive.
I loaded all of the applications that were running on my old PC (Running Vista 32 bit). The only thing that did not work was the driver for my Canon network attached printer. I was easily able to obtain the correct 64 bit Vista driver from Canon. To my surprise both the 32 and 64 bit application software programs are running with no problems. I have not had occasion to use the Blue Ray but the Touch Smart feature is great. All of my other applications have been running with no problems. In fact the old PC hung and crashed occasional this one has not.
The multimedia and the Digital TV is excellent. I have several new high end HD TVs and the TV feature (connected to an antenna)on this is as good as any of them.
This is the first time I have seen built in speakers that are usable, in fact they are quiet good.
The unit is basically a laptop inside. So there is some performance hit as opposed to a normal desktop. The advantage is that there is no noise, power consumption and heat generation is very low and and very little external cabling is required.
Although I have only had this for 1 week, so far it has been very impressive and I have found the hardware and software has been solid.
The display, wireless mouse and wireless keyboard are all well designed and a pleasure to use.
