This is the first computer I have bought and have set up myself. The entire process [...] and setting it up has been fantastic. No problems. HP Tech Support has been phenominal. The capabilities are amazing, just getting into it. But am very pleased with the experience.

Comments about HP / Hewlett-Packard TouchSmart IQ526 All-in-One Desktop Computer:
The HP IQ526 is a great for an All-in-One PC. Eliminates the USB cables on the floor normally associated with a desk top. Color is vibrant and processor is quick. Of course it comes with Windows Vista 64-bit. A lot of patching required to get your current software to work with 64-bit.
