4.0 out of 5 stars Fun but not serious, January 20, 2010

I have owned the HP 600-1055 for about a month now. It is full of suprizes. The touch screen is more responsive than I thought and very fun. I find myself using both the mouse and the touch screen equally. I'm not going to give you all the specs, you can look those up yourself but there is one that I need to mention. It comes with a Bluray player. The screen is only 60 hz, so even though the picture is good, the blur you get with fast motion is distracting. Also it's not for gamers. I tried to run "Bass Pro Shop The Strike" and it did not meet the min. requirments for the game. The fun things are the picture and music touch programs. Live TV was easy to set up. My favorite is using a paint program with the touch screen. It's advanced finger painting. And depending upon the program, you can do some wonderous things.
Bottom line for me: A fun computer with enjoyable features for media and browsing, but not hard core for gaming or serious movie watching.

I love the touch screen but I did have to adjust it because it wasn't registering right. My biggest problem is in the A/V the audio pops, crackles and generally has static and slow down several times a minute with my mp3. The DVD I played had inappropriate frame slow down also as well as the video problem. I am downloading all the updates from Windows and HP, if that doesn't work, I may have to send it back as bad from the box.HP TouchSmart 600-1055 23-Inch Black Desktop PC (Windows 7 Home Premium)

Despite the Best Buy salesman's attempt to steer me away from this desktop, I bought it from Amazon anyway. All of the positive comments about this PC are true and I won' t dispute them. The issue I have is the amount of time spent on the phone to India to fix the same problems over and over. My last call was 1:08 and the shortest was probably about 45 mins.
HP does fix every problem remotely and a human answers every customer service call which is a rare treat. Two problems have consumed an incredible amount of time: the screen flickers and actually sometimes goes completely black for up to 5 seconds. The problem gets fixed after about an hour on the phone (some patch applied or my power settings changed, I lost track of thse fixes) and does not re-occur for a few days after which, I set aside another hour to talk to HP.

The second, and seemingly fixed isssue, was the keyboard software updates needed. Twice the keyboard would only register every 5th letter or so. The first time, I bought new batteries and when that didn't help, I called. HP fixed the problem the first time but it happen again. The second fix appears to have worked and the keyboard has operated perfectly for about 2 weeks now.

I am typing this on my old Gateway laptop while my HP 600 is flickering right next to me. Some person in Mumbai is in control of the desktop and attempting yet another fix. If this does not work, HOP will switch out the unit and give me anew one. Customer Support is great but I would have preferred NEVER to have had to call.
