What our customer's say!

"Love, Love, Love HP Touchsmart IQ504", Are you kidding me? What's not to love? This is a F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S computer. I've probably purchased 10 or more computers in the past 5 years and this is my hands down favorite. Easy set up, incredible screen, doesn't take much desk space and it is LIGHTNING fast. I paid more than double this price for a top of the line Dell CPU only no screen or keyboard. I wish I could trade that for two of these! It's so much faster. It feels and looks so different from a "normal" computer and there is nothing under the desk to bump my knee on. LOVE THAT. I spend 10 hours or more a day on the computer for work so this is just a treat. I'm not one to write reviews but this computer is worth telling people about. I love everything about it and think everyone should own one. Hey HP will ya' send me another one for free if I spread the word?????

I too had some initial problems with downloading new programs and a couple of kinks to work out including losing the sound control on the monitor. It all turned out to be issues with VISTA not the computer and a super friendly tech stayed on the phone with me for two hours to resolve everything with updates and such.

I'm watching the reviews from previous customers and hoping my keyboard doesn't go kaput. I have a newer version that just came out IQ501

The only thing that could make this better is if it had a Keurig coffee maker built in. Now that would be the ultimate machine!

"great computer but.........", I bought my HP last December and fell in love with it until a few days later when the keyboard started to act up. As I was typing it started missing letters or just froze. I put up with it until last month and then called HP and told them I hated the keyboard and mouse because of the intermitent way it was working. They express shipped a new keyboard and mouse to me and this one seems to be working better, although every once in a while when I move the keyboard it goes back to missing letters. The photo printer sits right behind the screen, saving space on my desk. A great looking computer, and I can even comes with a remote to watch TV. Everyone raves about the look and loves it when they come by.



"Nice to look at, not worth the price...", I have owned the HP IQ770 for over six months and use it as my main PC. My intial issues were related to using the installed Vista operating system... but for better or worse, Vista is here to stay.

Now back to HP IQ770. It does a fair job, though I feel it is slow for a pc in this price range. The multicard reader failed about two months ago, dead and not servicable or accessable by the user. The DVD/CD burner is unreliable; sometimes not 'seeing' CD's or DVD's I loaded in it. The DVD/CD drive has jammed on occassion and refused to eject my disk. There is no access to this drive, either should it quit. There are no outputs for a second monitor; would be nice in the event of failure of the 'built-in' monitor. No HDMI, DVI, parallel, or serial ports you can NOT expand the stock system. You can not add a PCI card.

The HP IQ770 does have a "WOW" factor due to its unique and very nice appearance... after that you will find it a very mediocre PC.

"Christmas gift", I bought this computer after it was specifically pointed out to me in a Costco store by my 14 yera old son. I read a few reviews about this unit and it had mixed reviews. I bought it anyway. My son LOVES this thing. The touch screen aspect seems to make him especially happy. It was very easy to set up (one review said they had to hire the Geek Squad to get it going. What an idiot.) and has performed without trouble. My son is on this thing most of his waking hours, so that is saying something.

"HP Touchsmart PC", 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.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Maybe I got 2 lemons...", Needing a kitchen PC, I started my research. Space was a premium, I needed a wireless connection and also a unit with a TV tuner. It came down to the HP and a Sony Vaio desktop. PC magazine and HP owners gave good reviews and liked the IQ770.....it was also about $300 less than the Sony(was also a little less of a machine), but I gave it a try.
I had much difficulty with the initial setup on this machine...there were several software conflicts, particularly with the Vista and preinstalled Norton. HP phone support was all but nonexistant and useless. After an afternoon of setup attempts (PC + peripherals), the machine crashed to a "black screen". I returned the machine the following day and it was replaced; unfortunately I had many of the same problems. I returned the second machine and bought the Sony.....not a problem since owning the Sony and I must say it was well worth the $300 price difference in the increased Intel processor speed, hard drive volume and smaller size/neater appearance, not to mention that it worked righ the first time. Hard to beat the Sony LCD TV picture. I can get over the touch screen for all of this. Moral of the story: For this type of application where space is a premium and you don't want the "spaghetti wires", buy the Sony Vaio desktop. Another tip......stay away from Best Buy. Their staff, including the "Geek Squad" are totally worthless. Buy from Amazon and save the tax (and a major headache).

"awesome", I love my new TouchSmart...I had it up and running within 1 hr of recieving it..it is so easy. I don't know about the review where they had to have the geeksquad come and do it for them. It is totally a no brainer.I've had it for a month now and not a bit of problem. I say go for it.

"Happy! Happy!", After intense research, I made the purchase of the Hp IQ770 TouchSmart. I am still enjoying the way it operates with the exception of the wireless keyboard. Sometimes if the keyboard is not at the right angle, you can not type from it. Everything you do may not require typing, but somewhere along the line, you will be typing, so be careful. I still feel that is a small part of the big picture. I'm loving it!!

"Great computer with the WORST keyboard/mouse", It is a shame that HP still sells this beautiful, stylish computer with such a lousy partnership of keyboard/mouse. You dont understand how BAD they are. I got my computer yesterday and I have been very close (several times) of just axing them into very little tiny pieces. The mouse goes whatever it wants or does nothing at all. The keyboard does not type at all or just types the same letter 10 times. It has taken me double the time to optimize the computer because of them. Do yourself a favor buy a keyboard and a mouse when you buy this commputer. I am giving it 4 stars because the computer is great.

"Just wanted to share a few things", I got this computer elsewhere and just wanted to pass on a few things. It is an excellent computer. The touchscreen is just icing on the cake. Here's just a few things I wanted to share.

Vista is supposed to come with WinZip (for unzipping zipped files). Mine did not. If your's doesn't, you will have to download it. Do not use ZipGenius. It causes problems.

Have a Geek Squad person set it up. He did everything. Connected the antenna, the tv, moved files, etc. In three hours. It would have taken me three months to do everything he did.

The keyboard is lousy (love to put it in stronger language but it would be censored). In order to use the keyboard (and mouse for the matter), the sensor to the computer must be level with the computer. If you use a keyboard tray, this makes it very difficult. If you have problems, contact HP directly and tell them then insist on a discount for the new keyboard and mouse. Check their online store to make sure actually get the discount. (I started with the tech area and they sold me the replacement for the price they were selling it online, insisting that I was getting a discount. When I realized this, I called HPShopping and they issued me a coupon for most of what I spent.) The replacements I received does use a USB port for the receiver but it works wonderfully.
