(More customer reviews)I have the very similar HP TouchSmart 310-1020 All-in-One Desktop PC - Black and surprisingly love it.
I wasn't planning to replace my dead laptop with a desktop all-in-one, but this machine was priced at $599 at Staples as a closeout, so it made it easier to decide. Ironically my computer tech guy recommended a Touchsmart 300 to me for a potential computer because I like entertainment style computers for what I do. At first, I thought the Touchsmart wouldn't be quite right for me until I started using it. I was wrong and he was right.
I love the sharp screen and the extra wide size because I look at a computer all day for work. Videos and photos look gorgeous on this screen. These speakers hands down beat the Harman Kardon speakers on my old HP Entertainment laptop. I can get audio to play louder with excellent sound. I listen to Pandora or watch Hulu videos or Netflix while I cook. It's made the computer into a much more well-rounded experience--and this is after almost 15 years of working using a computer. I really love it!
I'm still using the mouse more than touching the screen. But I like having the screen touch when I want it. I was concerned about bloaty HP pre-installed programs and that has been less of an issue than expected. The only thing that didn't work was logging into Netflix through the HP app installed on the machine. I called Netflix because I had problems getting videos to play in a browser. It was a simple fix. He said ignore the HP Netflix app and just use Netflix through the browser instead. No big deal. I was able to use the Hulu app and log in through the HP app just fine.
What I lost in portability with the laptop, I gained in more functionality and a better experience while on the computer. I recommend the 310 Touchsmart whole-heartedly.
BTW, I looked at the Dell Inspiron One iO2305-2545-MSL Desktop Computer (Mercury Silver) which was $699 at Staples. It's huge and in the display the Dell screen was even better than the HP. I considered buying it, but after reading reviews, I heard the Dell was slow and had some problems. Sure enough, when I went to buy the HP, a brand new Dell 600 was on the tech guy's desk with freezing problems. He said he couldn't find a problem yet. So I'm glad I opted for this model instead!
