Comments about HP / Hewlett Packard TouchSmart 520-1070 23" All-in-One Desktop Computer:
The computer does all it claims to do and fast. The only problem was that the wireless connection to the router caused the web sites to not connect before the internet timed out. When the cable was connected directly to the computer, it seemed to work normally. It took over 5 hours on the phone to try to reslove the problem but never was. Finally purchased another router and it seems to be working with some adjustments from Linksys, although still a little slow. Also there is some glare on the screen in certain light conditions but workable.

The screen is great and responsive. Haven't been able to try to blu-ray or TV part, but I'm sure there won't be a problem. Really fast computer with plenty of space. Definitely a space saver with the all-in-one. Sound quality is pretty good as well. The wireless keyboard and mouse feature with a built-in transmitter is a nice feature.

Comments about HP / Hewlett Packard TouchSmart 520-1070 23" All-in-One Desktop Computer:
I purchased this computer in order to better manage a photography business. Its large screen, wireless keyboard and mouse, and superior performance specs were the reason for my purchase; I am not disappointed. The only complaint I have is that, due to the touch screen, there is a noticeable loss of sharpness of image on the display. All-in-all this is a great computer. I am shopping for another one just like it right now.
