Gadget Guy TV: HP TouchSmart computer

[emmzy11411]

ive got that pc :D but dont use the touch screen lol

[itsseanviva]

so big and ugly. New ones are so much better.

[astupiddvdcase]

Only idiots buy pCs from HP and other crappy preassembled brands with overpriced generic parts.

[thegodfather395]

HP computers are racist...

[EnStatiX]

This computer (Hp touchsmart 600) is garbage (Well atleast the graphics card is!). It can't handle 80% of the games out in the market right now. It might be an ideal computer for the older folks who plan on using it for basic browsing, office work. You WONT BE ABLE TO EVEN STREAM 1020p HD Youtube Videos like it states. I made the mistake of spending over one thousand dollars or this . i was excited at first. Not anymore! You cant even upgrade the graphics card even if u wanted to.

[kaide1000]

So what is the point of this massive thing ?

[robertronnieboregas]

DO NOT get this computer after 2 to 3 years it breaks down!! After 1 year you start to have driver malfunctions that is hard to fix! Also the webcam last about 1 and a half years!!! Never ever get this computer. Also if you need to disassemble it there are no guides on how to and of you try on your own it's just impossible!!

[Psyched]

@robertronnieboregas Mine has been running just fine, it's been 3+ years. Never had any problems and I love it! Finally upgrading to the new touchsmart 610. just cuz you had problems doesn't mean each and every computer has problem.

[emmzy11411]

@robertronnieboregas ive had mine for 3 years or so and it hasnt broke and nothing has gone wrong?

[HiJackThePirateJack]

How good is the video card and can I hook up a tower?

[HiJackThePirateJack]

Is it good for gaming?

[dedgren13]

im pretty sure clicking play on any computer would make the music just "bang" and its playing

[cutelilhog]

!! i saw you in the shoalhaven at stockland nowra ebgames and kmart!!!

[EmoHazardAndCo]

I Have The 600 And It Was Such A Pain In The Butt To Set Up And The Webcam Still Won't Work With Other Programs Such As MSN Properly :/

[3089280288]

Soon it will interface like the Wii.

[bluedemon245]

HP dumb had one hp never again

[Mauchner]

@bluedemon245 "me speak like cave-man"

[bluedemon245]

@Mauchner Are you still eating whale blubber or have you moved up yo seal?

[Mauchner]

@bluedemon245 Gonna pretend that made sense/had relevance to what I was talking about.

[mohsun123]

i would rather get build an htpc with a 9800gt for 3d movies and pictures. this is still a great product if you dont like getting down and dirty with the specs and building it :D

[Rihanna24Lover]

Cool!!

[georgekizzie]

it looks like a 1975 apple desktop but colloured

[Manchetto]

Why crazy americans like to put computers in the kitchen??? I cant understand this.

Touch screens and kitchen is not recomended you know me? hahaha

[mrjahmanja]

bullshit it temptin to get one..

[DeSCroc1]

Nice HP ... ;)

[1212scott1]

man talk about playing online games with a finger? there goes DEL. hp will soon make a holographic computer too! all packed in with a single rod ro reopen and suiteble needs at anytime!

[Techlology]

its the guy from sunrise

[93tillinfinitySON]

it dosnt look like you can do anything actually productive except little stupid pointless tasks that would be easier to just do with a mouse and keyboard lol am i right?

[RareJj7]

just because it has touch doesn't mean it's a kid toy >.>...

And I love mine ^_^ so awesome, you never go back to a tower, especially when yours is good enough to run games

[darkdrawnin]

@RareJj7 yea and when one component is broken u mostly hav to get a whole new one, except u still hav warranty on it... but yea,, i rather stick to my tower where i can change teh components just how i ever want.^^

But it's cool toy^^ and with the kitch+food+kids+fingers.... no good combination xP

[pacstek1250]

nice product but needs to support multi touch and be a few hundred dollars cheaper.

[KilleRoyNl]

Looked like there was a major delay when you touched.. That was weirdish.

[lslinger]

peter your daughter is so pretty

[diahooh]

lol

[hitektodd]

is it multitouch? i like the concept of macbookpro's multitouch trackpad more.

[ohstanmoore]

Vista didn't support multitouch. Windows 7 supports 10 touch points.

[izurz]

ew this is the old one =p the newest ones the shit

[CooAzNGuy]

i hate it when a fly gets on the screen

[JDAfobules]

yeah i knw wht u mean! its so irritating!

[CooAzNGuy]

i neveer even really use the touch features, dont buy it guys

[Tigeruchiha82]

I can't believe I am getting this on the first!!! ^_^

[Calib0y707]

I do all that and more with my ipnone.

[kingculley]

yes but no one is talking about your iphone are they...

[glowingdarkmatter25]

love apollo 13 as much as I love this new computer...can't wait to get it.

[misstweety023]

oh okay then /.

[Xend54]

i got the iq524 it is awsome :P

[sammymunir]

hey shervman who cares about buisness! its really good for buisness but what about the fun!

[shervman]

Great unit for entertainment purposes....but not so great for work...still great job HP!

[isokessu]

there's some other version where the pc is actually in the screen. in that the computer is just under screen.

[Chingster22]

okay so i can make post it notes, check the calendar, watch movies, watch tv and listen to music with this thing

those qualitites arent even what a computer does

he didnt show the internet, typing a word doc or anything

this is just like an ipod really

[penguinfarm3]

no its just a normal pc that you are able to touch, like he said in the beginning its more of a device you use in a common space in your house like your kitchen or family room. ipod's main purpose are playing musi

[Chingster22]

i was being sarcastic.. i was just pointing out how he didnt show any qualities that you would actually NEED in a computer not just music and movies

[frederik283]

not a very good video he only tells about the good sides he doesn't mention a single downside :\

[mikevitsi1]

and when the virus comes, you have just fucked up your fking expensive new comp! :O

[batistaanimalbomb]

wht touchsmart is tht .... i think theres different ones with different fetures and newer versions nd stuff..?

[k3ntairulz]

thats a old one. the new one looks so much better than this.

[0m3n1337]

I think it's a great idea and I might get it after they get a new model out with faster specs.

[Kali325is]

and the window media center, where you go to watch t.v, news, sports and other junk, it takes forever to load, sometimes when im just listing to music the computer freeze and it sounds like a scratch cd. it have froze on me couple time already and I have to shut it down by button.

[Kali325is]

This computer sucks!! While after 6 months, It starts to run really loud and im getting annoyed of it! I have the iq506 with the T.V tuner. Its built for entertainment blah blah blah, When im watch shows or movies online, it sounds like its burning a CD. Thats how loud it gets, and this happens after about 6 months!! I should of gone with the apple computer that was released the same time.

[Ben95111]

lol.... you can crap your photos

[orsc90]

sexyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[AndraBullar]

"It's so fast", wtf?

It's just Vista with WMC, it's not any faster than just clicking the damn thing with a mouse. IT'S NOT THAT INNOVATIVE!

Sure, the design might be awesome, and the touch might be cool, but don't bullshit about the software being revolutionary since it's just any Vista with some HP apps. He might just as well call this a review of Windows Media Center.

The design's cool though.

[samanthawilson1]

I totally agree with you. Another downside of this is that, say you are working on it for some while, dragging and dropping stuff, your arms get tired!

[fuadali16]

@AndraBullar CHILL MAN GET A LTTLE WEED AND JUST CHILL OUT

[darkeyce02]

@AndraBullar only if it had vista... stupid ass windows 7..

[livinlov]

@AndraBullar the new ones run windows 7 not vista

[Windowsprougly]

he didn't record appolow 13

[abyssofjosh]

a crippled would hate that

[andyk2385]

You could of given more details about specs and used windows side of it im getting this model IQ700 delivered today i got it on ebay 6months old new condition with recipt for £415 so i will post my thoughts As for the comments Why is it so many people have to compare everything with apple if you like apple products better why waste your time watching videos from other brands ive owned a few apple products and there pretty lame for the money

[ihearnoise]

put some shrink on the barbie

[TripleThrillFilms]

shrink? lol

[raynes94]

that's why you get one of the new iq 800's

[AAEMH]

I usually build my own computers, but when I saw this computer a few months ago I was intrigued by it. The one out now is different looking than this one. The only problems I had with this computer was that it messed up the touch settings if you use a screen saver- I wound up having to recalibrate it. At one point I had problems recalibrating from the control panel, and someone from HP told me to do it with a web browser open instead and that worked.

[cris1o]

i have 3 :D

[CENAfan526]

u can watch tv. where would u plug the cable into man im lucky im getting a job screw spending ne amount of money on nething ever agian bc tht was the coolest thing ever i will save for tht

[weaponologist1121]

that doesn't look like the ones i've seen. is it in a stand or something?

[kingoflandova]

u know this cpu was fun for the first month but then it got boring

[misstweety023]

it is awesome and it is huge !!!

[TranscendentInn]

that's what she said

[bizarrefruit]

This made me laugh, hard! The best thing about it is that you use your finger... Yet out comes the keyboard within less than a minute of those words leaving his lips. Touchscreen isn't new, it's ancient, the new technology is cerebral interfacing, and even that's completely pointless. This is another HP gimmick that looks nice, but can't be upgraded and will be redundant in less than a year. They actually expect me to buy this? I'll stick with my mouse and tower thanks.

[dancingurlie]

I have this but is that a different version cause I dont have that thing at the bottom, its on the side. Also, to record tv, what cable did you need? I could not understand him. I cant figure it out! Oh, but i love the computer. its perfect for everything!

[TEhELe3t3R]

i wish he explained how the internet worked on it

[owlsrule143]

its a computer not a cellphone

[TEhELe3t3R]

Computers have internet...

[PsychoClownsCC]

Can you touch the screen to scratch beats? Like in the software VIRTUAL DJ?

[patriotsmvp2013]

how much is this!?!?!?!?!?this shits tight!!better than my mac air!!lol

[owlsrule143]

1299-1499 I think

[angel2901]

I hate how the guy speaks!

[impeatus]

Think if you put it in a car O_o.I mean 25"(i think)screen,in the car...pfff you wint need a tv and a cdor dvd :D:D:D.

[TheCoolHair]

touchscrean copy of imac

[CodeXero]

all we saw is the video , music , and pic ..

but what a about stuff like browsing , gaming ?

[vaan4500]

Is this pc good for gaming?

[jmontague]

no its just really meant for Home entertainment

[vaan4500]

Ohhh i figured as such

[stevenwong10]

its the same as a regular comptuer, u can use a mouse and keyboard and stuff too, the only differance is the touch screen

[00971504446334]

it should be smaller as a laptop. like 15"

[satanspy]

yea,but...can it run Crysis?

[andrewwk6]

nop

[pinkilehniously]

it looks like an xtra large ipod touch xD

looks cool... but it reminds me of a super huge ipod touch

[loodlesluver]

Im on it right now

Its wonderful!

I sugest getting it!

:D

You will love it!

[hubermsj]

your not on one your just prolly on an xp or suttin ur just sayin that cuz ur on youtube

[GAS3zzz]

shut @#$#@ up

[rubiksfan2000]

this is so funny because i am watching this on the hp touchsmart lol i just got mine yesterday

[buopesado]

perfect computer for a mafia man.

connect the survellience cameras, caller id, television.. wow amazing.

;D

[jaypee242]

what kind of touch smart does he have? the ones ive seen dont have that drive at the bottom. the drives are on the side..

[boomboom1996]

it's the uk edition

[AADStudio]

cool shirt??

[demexii1]

I have to agree for something to sit in the living room it is a great computer. Allows someone to just walk up and interact with it without using a mouse and keyboard. I will probably buy it for my living room just so it can play music for visitors. However, as a PC alternative I don't think it is worth it. Great for multimedia, bad for much of the other PC aspects.

[BIHVR6GTI]

why it does everything a pc does, it has keyboard and mouse i tried one man they are great everyting is like a pc i hardly ever touch the screen, its too beutyfull to touch

[floysie21]

Yeah but what if your eating chips or something you dont want do damage the screen

[tomrexxx]

you clean it witht the spray made for it and you don't have to touch it it has a keyboard and mouse in the box

[DavinTerrizzi]

This is more a of a review of Windows Media Center than a review of the HP TouchSmart.

1 star.

[AngelicAcid453]

the starting price is $1,299 the same the apple iMac

HP is lame...

[demexii1]

The iMac isn't touch though. Plus, Windows has much more functionality than a mac.

[AngelicAcid453]

of course I know that, but i only mentioned the starting price.

[ostinpowers]

iphone for loosers^^

[leon44isdabest]

It isn't made clear enough that this computer runs vista (and you can touch that too!), you just need to come out of the crappy media center.

I'm typing on one right now!

So you can play games, browse internet, etc.

[junkauge]

how are you finding the screen reflectiveness? it looks pretty damn glossy in this vid~

[leon44isdabest]

it is, when its black you see yourself and get a fright lol,

but its normally very bright and you never notice

[junkauge]

lol lol lol

well thats good to know. thanks ^^

[ComradePepper]

not impressed

[Wanye4president]

For all those wondering this computer has a NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 ... this is not a great card but you will be able to play COD4 on there will little to no lag depending on your connection. So ya you could play games on it but no this is not a gaming PC

[LamenessFTW]

can you use a stylus on this for liek graphic design or is it not that accurate? looks like it was made specifically for using your finger..

[junkauge]

as far as i know it does not have an active digitizer.. so while you could use a stylus with pressure on the screen, you could not use it like a wacom pen by hovering it over the screen. a rather huge disappointment really~

[macbookpromaniac]

can u play on it??

[CocolutoBeans]

Yeah, they made a bunch of next generation porno games already.

[macbookpromaniac]

HAHAHA! its more comfortable :P

[adhuxley]

where is the system?

[Kristizzlee]

sucks. get apple!

[tyenmike]

you're a typical fag.

[On3Thought]

-what a waste of code.

[ChillaxinGabe]

i don't like it.

[potat3o]

wow, what a suckup

[iloveanime4]

Does this thing even connect to the internet??

[CelestialWarrior]

Cameraman, the zoom does not need to be adjusted CONSTANTLY. If you are not drunk, there's no need to make everyone watching this video feel that they are. Calm down with the camera movements, it doesn't make it seem any more professional than HOLDING THE DAMN CAMERA STILL.

[simozonelayer]

Man that intro made me think of Mike Strutter.

"Using a keyboard and mouse could be a thing of the f*ckin past with Strutter gears new TouchSmart"

[jorger40]

HP TouchSmart also called The big Ipod touch for Desktop.

[fwarjoda]

computer FAIL = its not portable, the operative system looks very crappy, and the "quickness" does not depend on the computer itself, depends on GHz and RAM

[hayshawnnaayy]

how come his has a stand that you can move around?

is it like a stand, that you buy?

[ozoneboy7574]

how do you play games on it

[musicboyXIII]

with a keyboard and mouse??

[ozoneboy7574]

sorry that was a stupid question. i ment how do you play games using the touch screen

[asy1mpo]

like musicboyXIII said its got a keyboard and mouse that you just use as a normal computer would.

the interface shown in this video I am guessing is properly some special HP "touch screen" software. also part of the time he seems to be using Windows Media Centre.

[musicboyXIII]

Is it multitouch?

[firebender8313]

I don't know about this one but the HP TouchSmart IQ500 is multitouch! and it costs $1,499.99 with a 500GB hard drive or $1,299.99 with the 320GB version

[musicboyXIII]

oh, thanks, I'll check that out

[afganist]

nice computer, creepy guy.

[l337z0r]

I think I'll stick with a normal PC, this seems a bit limited. Looks like it would be fun for a while- until the touchscreen novelty becomes boring.

[collins432]

does this run on windows?

[ScreamingPhotoOp]

yes, theres a mini HP operating system involved to that you can go to

[dolcerok]

what an awful accent

[ravman690]

whats wrong with the aussie accent? mate the italian accent is really shit, especially the new york italian accent.

[lsolano078]

sera que se puede usar el Microsoft office.?

he visto como 40 videos... y en ninguno he visto correr, juegos o programas.

[lalo0709]

por lo que parece esta pc solo esta dedicada a entretenimiento, por eso solo la interface es como el widows media center

[lsolano078]

Lo siento por el comentario tan ignorante que hize anteriormente...

ya vi en otro foro de por ahi por la web....

y eso.. solo es un programa mas para la PC, Osea funciona el programa bajo windows Vista,!

Bien por HP!

[sigfriii]

Por lo que entiendo es una computadora normal, solo que tienes la opción de un tercer dispositivo de interacción que es el touch screen pero del resto tiene windows vista y por lo tanto todos los programas que puesas correr en windows vista.

[torombolero]

i have an hp and it's so fucking good omg y talking in inglish y soy mexicano jajaj inches puetekes grinos apuesto no entienden que em cogo a sus mamas jajajajja soyonara

[aniattacks]

Calmate frijol!!!! Im actually white and I understand your ignorance! There's plenty of us too. Now go and have some erotic love making w/ your donkey!

[monix159]

it looks cool, but after a while i think youd get board and go back to keyboard and mouse..its cool for some features, but looks like a pain in the ass for most. and for internet to type do you use a touchscreen keyboard like the iphone?

[anarky1221]

it comes with a keyboard and a mouse.

[jboy0421]

yea

[yorkville88]

i actually just won this computer in a school rafel and its pretty awesome and no u dont have to use on screen keyboard like the iphone it comes with wireless mouse and keyboard....also people who talk about fingerprints on the screen it comes with a special rag so if the fingerprints are on the sceen one wipe and their gone

[gritzmacher10]

the guy said great a million times....

[arslo10]

omg the note taking and calender thingy is a such a freaking cheap rip off of apples ical and stickies! wth? i bet it works better then this as well. computer seems interesting but not that great

[m3x1c043v3r]

finally a big ipod touch!

[rtannala]

Yeah, I really like the fact that you have to buy a macbook pro to get a friggin firewire port...

[jknutson09]

you fucking accent is so annoying. I hate UK people what have you invented the last 10 20 years?

[rtannala]

Umm... that accent is australian. :D

BTW it was reeeeally hard to guess where you're from... And I can hear you going "what everrr" after this one :)

[PRECiiOSA]

first off hes australian and how can you hate the uk people if you cant even tell the difference between an english accent with an australian accent

[jamescatania]

first of all the "UK People" are called British, or Brits, and the accent is Australian.

[esxfallen]

stop arguing all of you people, who sits on video comments and starts conversations. go outside and do something productive.

[jboy0421]

why dont you

[sphoenix101]

The Ipc lol well apple geeks will get it

[TkrB]

I LOVE HP computers

[CaThChIcK6677]

im waiting till they get it perfect (ex; cooling)...

or im just goin to get a mac.

lol

[arslo10]

woot get a mac!

[cloneloko157]

Incrible.

[SuperNightvision]

I have one..but how do I open it?

[arashasadi72]

Great feature from HP. It is somthing in between iPhone and Microsoft touch screen table. Next generation touch screen Windows will also help it to be next customer choose.
