Hello,

I am somewhat new to the whole HP TouchSmart scene (Ok, so I lied, I am completely clueless). I have been browsing several stores online and I have a few questions. My first question is would you recommend I buy it directly from HP (hp.com) or from another site, or doesn't it matter?

My second question is on the United States-English version of hp.com I notice the only series they have are the IQ500t and IQ800t, yet on the United Kingdom-English version and several others, they have a series all the way up to IQ830t?

Now my other question is would it be better to order from the United Kingdom version and just pay more for the shipping or should I just stick with the IQ800t series that is available to United States customers?

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated and also any advice you can give me on buying my first HP TouchSmart computer.

Thanks!
