Horrible experience

 

I just got off the phone with HP technical support and I am so disappointed. I have had this computer little over an year and it has been broken the third time now. All I do with it is check the email and store some pictures. I am very disappointed with their horrible customer service, their product quality and the worst of all their unwillingness to help. I will never ever buy any kind of HP product and I will recommend everybody to stay away from these horrible experience.

HP TouchSmart IQ500t

 

The 22-inch TouchSmart 500t is essentially a faster, slimmed-down version of the 25.5-inch HP TouchSmart IQ816. Both all-in-one PCs are multitouch capable, as is the 18.5-inch Dell Studio One 19. Multitouch aside, the $1650 500t's closest competitor in...

Beautiful touchscreen ; Great general performance

Glossy screen can be overly reflective ; Upgradability limited to two areas

A vibrant multitouch display and excellent general performance make the IQ500t a competitive all-in-one option.

Complete unreliable waste of money aka HP product.

This is a complete piece of garbage. It was always slow, had a horrid intel chipset video card rendering it's graphics capabilities nill. The wireless card in this unit is not worth using drops in and out constantly and has a habit of dying young in...

The world is on my desk! ”

 

When I was shopping around for a new computer my two biggest needs were that the computer be 1) an all-in-one and 2) affordable.  I needed an all-in-one because we have limited space in my home office area.  As a small business owner I needed an...
