[xpaddleditx]

I have this. THIS IS FRIGGIN AWESOME.

@xiominiac LOL Maybe you just can't take care of your comp. I used my touchsmart for 2 years and RARELY (twice ONLY for 2 YEARS) had any crashes at ALL.

[xpaddleditx]

Oh yea, gaming is still awesome for this comp. I rarely lag but I used Time Warner Cable.

sigh are you a woman? if you are this pc isnt worth it i know it looks good but you could get a much better pc for the price

[lovelydiva06]

yeah i am a woman and i really wanted to get this pc cause it looks awesome and not just cosmetically but is it really not that great, cause with tax season rolling around i'll finally have enough money to purchase one but of course i want my money's worth and want a pc that will last me so is their anywhere i could go to see it and maybe test it in person

[wax333]

your local electronics store's usually have pc's on display dont they ? as im from nz i dont know any stores from your location Im thinking best buys etc surely they have them on display but basically its just a pc with a touch smart screen and application that takes control over it as you wouldve herd already

hey it maybe your perfect choice only tryna help :)

[lovelydiva06]

oh, okay, i thought you were from the states, thanks anyway :)

Diva, dont bother buying that machine, its crappy. My friend had it,she was sucked in by the "touch-screen" capability.

She wanted to be a domestic John King from CNN but once you switch on Vista it starts to act up, missing driver errors, crashes 3 times in one WEEK. You can always reinstall Vista but it would start asking you for the activation key after a few weeks and more missing drivers problems. Attractive technology from Hp with Crappy Sofwares from Microsoft.

Ciao

so it doesn't come preinstalled with vista cause i thought it did and i thought it was made to operate with vista, vista doesn't have touch capabilities im just asking cause in the videos i've been seeing here on youtube it seems to run smoothly but with people telling me its not that great and not worth the money, im not sure if i wanna purchase it anymore, ill have to think about it some more but thanks for the info :)
