After many months of researching desktops I finally decided on the hp Touchsmart pc. While it didn't have everything I was looking for, ie; bluray burner,1tb hard drive, it came pretty darn close. I looked at everything from an imac, to the dell xps one, and even a bunch of desktop pcs.
After looking more into blank blu-ray disks prices I decided that having a blu-ray player would be sufficient as I rent mostly anyway.
I have only had the computer for a couple of days now but so far it meets and exceeds all my expectations.
The touch screen is awesome to use as are the included wireless keyboard and mouse.
The touchsmart interface is easy to learn and has so many customizable features that I have barely started to digest all that I can do with the computer.
The PVR with live tv works well with my standard cable signal and was easy to setup.
I am only having difficulty getting the available hd channels to show up as the standard definition signal is adequate at best on the 1080p resolution 25.5" screen. More research is proving this issue to be a window media center issue and not the computer itself. As is usual for microsoft products.
The computer is fast and responsive and for the use we bought it for it does everything I want it to do and more.
I will add more to review as time goes on and we have more experience with the touchsmart pc
