A Touchsmart computer is as durable as a regular desktop?

I'm trying to decide on a new desktop computer or one of the new all in one pc, maybe a touchsmart. I would like to know the pro and cons of a desktop computer to an all in one pc. My interest is reliability, durability or weaknesses.

The Touchsmart line will not be the same as a normal office in the capacity of service and to update, they are designed and built more like laptops and have a large number of limitations than a laptop in the upgrade options.

It's compromise with all all-in-one devices from manufacturers, and the question for you is "is the convenience of value to give up some flexibility"? they will not be the fastest machines, but they will be a machine good average daily use.

  • HP Envy 15-j109TX Touchsmart computer laptop upgrade help

    Hello, my HP Touchsmart Envy 15 - j109TX laptop computer is shipped with 2 GB DDR3 NVIDIA GeForce GT M 740 graphics. Can I put graphics or higher cards of 4 GB DDR3 NVIDIA GeForce GT M 750 ?

    Also, I want to upgrade the RAM to 16 GB and a 2 TB HARD drive . Is this possible? I don't see any customization option in the HP Shopping Web site. So how can I do? also, thanks for mentioning about cost of upgrade of these.

    Hello

    Here are the specifications of product: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04031367

    Go through the Page 4 and 5 of the user manual:
    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c04091768.PDF

    Upgrade options:
    Up to 1.5 TB drive HARD with no hybrid NAND support

    Up to 16GB 1600 MHz RAM with boost DDR3L dual channel

    Although Nvidia 750 M dedicated 4 GB card is indicate against the graphics options, I think not that this is possible because actually nvidia in this model is not as a card but more a chip which is attached to the motherboard. I think you need to contact HP in your area directly for this.

    It will be useful,
    Thank you

  • Stuck CD in the Bay on TouchSmart computer

    I have a brand new TouchSmart 520-1030. Somehow a cd stuck in the player. Does anyone have suggestions as to how to get it back? Just click when I try to use the eject button, and the same thing happens if I try to use it through properties.

    Thank you very much!!

    You Tube is wonderful! I went there, searched and found several solutions, but the one (super easy) that worked for me was to take a care credit, wind band around him the side sticking long way, insert into the drive, stuck on the cd and it is just released! Could not have worked more easy!

    Thanks for the suggestions, and even if the disc was clean, it had a very thick sticker! These discs are sensitive I guess.

  • My hp touchsmart computer windows vista did not build in the score, how do I perform a factory reset?

    I tried to do a restore to factory on my computer but the frame in the score which is supposed to be there is not there at all so it didn't work. She asks a disk but when I bought my computer I never received one, is there anyway you can help me? Thanks for your time.

    Read more about my first answer for you.

    They are your remaining options to reinstall.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    You can also contact HP and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista."

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
