Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)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.
UPDATE to original review
Althought the original review is still true the computer failed after 2 weeks. HP service wanted me to send it to them with a several week turn around. I took it back to the store where I purchased it and replaced it with a SONY VAIO which also works very well. The folks at the store said HP reliability was good and mine was not the norm.
