HP iQ506 TouchSmart PC

This HP computer is an excellent, state-of-the art computer. Fantastic, sharp color touch-monitor delivers outstanding performance. The "touch" monitor is so sensitive that if a fly lands on your monitor, it will take you to another screen. Funny but true! Have had no problems with it; very quick response time. Best computer I've owned so far. Perfect if you dont get any flies!!!!!

Great Kitchen PC

This is a great PC to put in your kitchen. It looks and works great on our countertop next to the fridge. It is tight, but it barely fits underneath our cabinets over the counters.

HP did a fantastic job with the overall design, it is an attractive PC and we like the touchscreen software provided. As others have noted, the keyboard and mouse are great. I saw some complaints about glare off the screen - we have not had any issue with this. I hate glossy screens, and I consider myself pretty anal about glare. I do not think that glare is a problem with this PC, at least in our setting.

The touchsreen doesn't get used in most circumstances, but it is very nice for our 3 and 5 year old kids to pick their own music, choose videos on Youtube, etc. We have made several "thank you" video notes to the grandparents using the built-in Webcam, which works great.

We love having Internet, calendar, etc. in the kitchen. I just ordered a logitech wireless headset so that we can use it with Skype also. Hope to update the review if it works out well.

Very nice job HP.

Great innovative Computer

I have been checking out the HP Touchsmart for the past couple of years and finally decided to buy the IQ506, one week ago.
Setup was a breeze but I noticed that when i switched from TV use to PC use, the graphics would freeze up for a while before coming back. The HP button is a cool feature and so is Media Center thought I had radio on my other HP computer but was not able to work the radio on the IQ506.
System overall is fast and at 1,399 is a good deal considering its free shipping and no taxes.
LIVE CHAT with customer service is a joke though. Could not get a correct answer from them on my problem.
Overall is a great PC, with the touch screen, not just for the kitchen etc but can be used as a 1st PC.

A dream come true for a home computer

I bought the Sam's Club HP Touchsmart 505 almost as soon as I saw it. Liked the price. Took half an hour to set up (took longer to unhook my old HP Pavilion Slimline set up). Only problem was loading printer CD, worked when I copied the software from my old computer. Otherwise, I love it, perfect for my modest sized desk at home - great for basic photos, music, internet browsing, etc. Tried touchscreen for about 20 minutes, got bored, not a good position when set upright, mousing is just as easy, faster and keeps the screen cleaner. 62 and downsizing to essentially a studio and this is great for my modest living quarters.

HP Touchsmart IQ506

I bought this computer from Amazon when it first came out and I've been very happy with it. The HP touchsmart screen works very well it's not multi touch but I think that multi touch is a little overblown. I was surprised that the touch works in all environments not just the touchsmart screen. You can use the touch surfing the web playing games or whatever but you will still need to use your mouse in small areas. One recommendation I have is if you don't use the touchsmart screen alot keep it turned off until you use it it will leave you with alot more RAM but it will take the touchsmart software longer to load which is a good trade off for me.

When I bought this computer I heard all the bad press about Vista but after using it I have to say that Vista is much better than XP. My touchsmart starts faster and shuts down faster than my XP computer. Vista has some very nice features and I will be upgrading my XP computer soon.

I love Windows Media Center and having the TV tuner in this computer. Media Center works like a tivo unit you can record all of your favorite programs when you want to and how you want to. I have mine set to record all my favorite shows when they are new shows so I don't miss anything. I have DirecTV hooked up and I also have my local channels In High Def hooked up. This system will be really good when I get an extender to hook to my main TV so I can watch what I recorded In another room. For anyone that has an Xbox 360 you can use it as an extender.

The speakers on this unit are better than the speakers that I have on my other computer but I still plan on attaching a home stereo to it. With the touchsmart music section it works like a jukebox you can listen to any music in your library however you want putting music in a playlist is so much easier than any mp3 swoftware.

So If you want a computer thats also a jukebox, movie player, photo editer, television and much more I would highly recommend this computer.
