Has pizazz and beauty but no strength

Reviewing: Hp Touchsmart Iq770 Pc

Positives:

Given that it is an all in one PC, its compact design makes it easy to move around, The wireless HIDs and the touchsreen make for ease of use. Its stylish and futuristic design put it up to par with that of today's computers.

The built in TV tuner allows viewing of local channels, and the huge video memory (256MB) is adequate for streaming videos

Negatives:

However it is not as slim and small as most of today's all-in-one PCs.Another thing is that because of its hardware and software, it would not be considered a reliable PC. Given that it is somewhat slow in loading programs, If you're set out for heavy gaming and multimedia, this PC is not really the right one to pursue as it is unlikely to have enough memory left (RAM and Video) for that kind of gaming usage. Also, the wireless keyboard and mouse do not respond well, and they consume much of the battery power, which would nearly defeat their purpose. Additionally, if you are considering upgrading from Windows Vista Home Premium to Vista Ultimate, HP will charge an arm and a leg for support. And given its price tag of $1800+, it is not a very good investment at all.
