After my 10 year old computer exclaimed "Capt'n,I'm giving her all she's got and she's not giving anymore!!!" I knew it was time to invest in a replacement! I am amazed at all the features this unit offers. Wires?? What wires? With the exception of one cord (power of course) this unit does not ensnare you with any wires or cords. You can turn the keyboard anyway you want and position the mouse without having to untangle anything...it's great! The entire family loves the size and the clarity of the 25.5 inch screen. The best part is that there is no CPU, it's all contained in the monitor housing. I certainly won't miss kicking the CPU under my desk! Windows Vista is easy to navigate.

glossy much of the same
beautiful screen cool apps but still the same malfunctions that my old windows machines had. Maybe the operating system still has bugs to be dealt with.

Almost perfect
When I first read about this new HP computer I was very skeptical...after all, I always thought that Dell ruled the PC world. This computer is much better than I had ever hoped. It worked right out of the box, no glitches, no silliness with a bunch of add on trial software. The screen is beautiful, the keyboard is crisp and a pleasure to use and the mouse works. My only comment is that the VESA adaptor to allowing mounting this computer to the wall should have been, in my opinion, included.. then it would have been perfect
I love this computer. This past summer I purchased a Dell XPS 1530 laptop and have had a series of problems but Dell evetually replaced the laptop. I wish I had looked at the HP line of laptops.
