(More customer reviews)This computer is working well.I was skeptical about buying it, since my laptop was not even a year old, but I'm glad I made the change.It's very fast - almost instant on.The Touchsmart feature is not too practical.The 22" screen is more comfortable several feet away.Can't reach the screen, so I optimized it for the mouse.I did look at the Touchsmart software and found it of little interest.The large screen is very practical for my needs, though.I have plenty of table space right in front of me, rather than filling it with computer.
The cordless keyboard works very well.Lot of times the cordless equipment doesn't keep up with my typing.Love the larger delete key.The mouse is a bit stiff, but it operates mouse-intensive games fine.
All my software and wireless printer set up easily, as did internet connections.The little cover on the ports is a bit difficult to remove and replace.The shiny finish is quite a dust enhancer.Somewhere the black frame got scratched at the bottom of the screen right in the middle.
I like the HP Pocket Media plug-in backup drives.The HP website shows the drive as an accessory to the 500 series Touchsmart.I phoned their sales people twice to ask about drive capacity and where the drive was inserted into this unit, and both confirmed the PC had a slot in the top, so I ordered the 500gb drive from HP at the same time I ordered the PC from Amz.PC arrived, and there is no slot.Another call to HP revealed that only the 800 series accommodates this drive.So I have to attach it via USB.The whole idea of the Pocket Media is that they slide right into their own slots in the PCs for which they are made.I found it interesting that both the people and the website at HP were sloppy about this accessory.HP is very generous about returns, but I wanted the larger capacity drive, so I kept it.By the way, this is the second HP computer I've had for which these plug-in drives were misrepresented on their website.First time it happened, a couple computers ago, I could not get anybody to acknowledge the error and correct the site.
