Everything so far for our puchasse has been terrific. We received our purchase in three days. Have no complaints with Amazon or our HP Touchsmart.

I did not think I was ever going to purchase a desktop again until I saw the commercial for the HP IQ506 Touchsmart PC. Before purchasing this desktop I read many reviews on the product from different sites and found many good reviews. Once I received the computer and turned it on I was in love! The sound quality of the speakers is great. So good in fact that I did not need to purchase additional speakers. The picture quality is amazing and I love the 22" size screen. I saw a movie on it for the first time and was impressed with the picture quality. The only downside is that I spend a lot more time on the computer now. The touchscreen software was very user friendly and I mastered it in no time. The wireless mouse and keyboard are a nice standard touch and the remote control is a Plus. Overall, I am quite impressed with this product and have nothing negative to say about it thus far.

I recently purchased the TouchSmart IQ506. Setup was very easy, just extend the support arm, plug it in and in about 15 minutes it sets itself up (with a little input from you) and it's ready to go. I use this computer in my family room which is perfect for it. We play a lot of casual games such as find-an-item and "Diner Dash" type games, and the touchscreen works incredibly well with these and the kids love it.

One note of caution is that after it was finished setting up, it was a little slow when loading things and playing DVDs. On a hunch I uninstalled the Norton Antivirus software that came bundled and installed a different free one, and it ran much faster and worked much better. I've never been a fan of bundled software.

I don't know how often I will use the different TouchSmart software applications, preferring to use Windows Media Center with the remote (which also works with touchscreen), but they seemed very user-friendly, easy-to-use and attractive.

Overall, a capable machine with some very nice features at a decent price.

Overall I liked the product, it really did eliminate the clutter around the desk. The screen is big and beautifull. There seem to be quite a few "glitches" i.e. for no reason the mouse (wireless) will lose connectivity. The same for the Keyboard (also wireless). Less than one month after I purchased it, the whole PC crashed hard and I was unable to recover. I am waiting on packaging to send it back to HP to get fixed. More than just a little irritating.

This is what a PC should be. Touch screen is intuitive. Design is beautiful and setup couldn't have been simpler. Just plug in the power cord and follow the prompts. Aesthecially, HP has also hit a home run. The display is fantastic and the piano black finish fits the modern day flat-screen TV look. No one should have a problem with this PC looking like a piece of hardware in their living room or elsewhere. The HD TV tuner also works great once you connect the antenna.

About the only gripe I'd have is that Vista will not run some older software very well. I've mainly had problems with some kids' software which will likely force me to buy some new programs for the 3-year old since she can't use her older siblings' hand-me-down software. This is not an HP problem, though.
