I have always purchased HP computers. I couldn't believe the price I bought this for, so I was leary of the purchase. However, I have had the computer for 3 months, and I have had NO problems with it. There is a critical update that must be done regarding the hard drive, but other than that, THIS WAS A VERY WISE PURCHASE. I had not used Vista before, and making the change using this computer was a pleasant experience.

HP IQ505 TouchSmart,

By: MP33
I just LOVE this. If your into technology this one is for you. I have not had any problems with it at all and the price is great here at Sams Club. Plenty of Ram and a big HD 500 GB. I couldn't be happier with my selection. Only question is that I may have wished a purchased the one with the TV tuner in it. ENJOY :) My sister went back to Ohio and bought herself one at Sam's too she loved mine so much.

Love the Computer,

I've had the computer for about two months and it is great! I have three other computers, different brands, and this one is the fastest and easiest to use. The size of the screen is perfect for viewing pictures and going on the internet. It is worth the money.

just got this a week ago and really like it alot. It worked right out of the box. had to chat with hp to get the sleep command how i like it but no problem. the keyboard batteries that came with it had to be replaced after 1 week however hp tells me that might be because they were old. should last few months. Overall ,after trying several tower types from hp this one is really great. 22" monitor is good even keyboard despite early battery problem. competitve stores had lower model computer for same price. Sam's one has 200gb more hd

Great deal,

This not only is a great computer, but priced very nicely. I was interested in freeing up space that my old HP CPU took up. This one does the trick. Warning: Be sure to measure your space since the monitor is huge! The touch screen is nice and fun at first, but I still find myself primarily using the main programs through Vista desktop and Program menus.
Also, be sure you like to dust since the glossy black finish is difficult to keep clean. (don't clean while computer is turned on.)

Big, heavy and beautiful! Wasn't even loaded with as much bloatware as usual. Need every bit of the 4G memory. Touchsmart and it's programs are huge memory hogs! I have turned it off except when I want to playwith those toys. The touch screen works fine without it being on. The wireless worked great even durning setup! You do not get a remote with this model but any HP MCE remote works. I had several laying around
