Messenger the webcam is not available. It works with MSN Messenger but that is not my primary IM. Apparently this is an issue being discussed in the HP TouchSmart Community, but I have not seen a fix. Unfortunately I will be returning it for a desktop. from Bestbuy.com HP TouchSmart IQ524 Desktop PC (2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T6400 Processor, 4 GB RAM, 500 GB Hard Drive, DVD Drive, Vista Premium). What more can i say, is the best PC ever and the best thing is that i got a good deal. from Amazon.com So far I LOVE IT! The touchscreen works well and the computer is fast. I do have problems with the touchsmart software crashing when using music. Not a big deal for me because I play my songs from itunes. from Amazon.com I would definitely recommend the HP TouchSmart computer to everyone. I love everything about it. from Amazon.com We were looking to buy my grandparent their first computer to introduce them to email and the internet. So far, this has been a great choice. The built in TouchSmart software provides an easy, graphical way to launch programs with a simple touch. The screen is huge and very clear, another thing we looked for. from Amazon.com I was skeptical about buying it, since my laptop was not even a year old, but I'm glad I made the change. It's very fast - almost instant on. The Touchsmart feature is not too practical. The 22" screen is more comfortable several feet away. from Amazon.com Wifi- Fast internet connection wirelessy works perfect! This unit is heavy btw, it weighs a good amount of solid state goods! Most Important For Me: Hewlett Packard (HP) is a company that's been around for quite some time. HP has done several things right over time and it speaks volumes to this company's survival throughout all the computer computer fallouts we've all seen over the past 15 or so years. from Amazon.com Pros: This is the lowest cost TouchSmart with a TV tuner. The mobo is capable of 1066 FSB on the CPU, and DDR2 800 on the RAM, and is capable of 8GB with 2x4GB modules if the price of 4GB modules ever comes down. from Newegg.com Cons: Minor stuff. Optical drive is awkward to get at. The first time I started it there was horrible audio static when in the TouchSmart application. After I went into Vista Media Center for the first time, that dissappeared. from Newegg.com everything is crystal-clear.and,since the screen is glass,you can clean it using a soft cloth which has been sprayed with a mild window cleaning product.my online games,such as wow and guild wars are from Qvc.com
