Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Great PC but needs a little work Comment: Owning an iPod Touch, I had high expectations for a touch screen computer. With the iPod Touch as a frame of reference, there are some great things about the Touch PC, but also some points of improvement. Pluses: - Fewer wires than a conventional PC. Just plug in the power cord and viola, it works. - Keyboard is very slim and is wireless (the mouse is wireless too) - The HP Touch software (shown in the commercials) is cool and makes the experience of using the computer much better - Built in wireless means it can be set up pretty much anywhere and stay connected. - Can't beat the big screen Minuses: - I wish the touch functionality worked more like the iPod touch. It seems like I have to "double-click" 3 or 4 times to get icons on the desktop to launch their programs. I'm not quite sure why when I touch a desktop icon, a check box appear on the icon instead of just launching the program. It would be nice if one touch was all it took to launch programs. - Scrolling up and down web pages should be more like the iPod Touch's scroll capabilities. I've had a hard time getting the computer to recognize from touch when I want to scroll down. - After calibrating the screen, the accuracy of the touch areas, still doesn't seem right on. Check-boxes and tabs (such as Google Chrome) are a little hard to access at the very top of the screen because the PC case makes it hard to get to that part of the screen. - Although it is very heavy, there's the possibility that it could be knocked over. For support, the computer has only the front plastic legs and a stand in the back. It's a good computer, but not as cool as I had hoped.
