Does anyone know the HP TSV model # ?

I would like to compare the TSV HP with ones on sale at Costco. This one looks great, but want to do some comparisons. Also checking out buying Microsoft on my own. Any feedback / model # welcome. Thanks

I don't think you would be able to do a compare as I thought QVC works with the vendor to come up with the configuration they want for the TSV. I think the best you can do is to find a similar one with most of the major components.

I couldn't find a model# either. There is a link above the item description of the TSV to post a question on the HP blog with your questions I haven't looked but you could see if someone asked that question or ask it yourself since it is being monitored.

????thank you for taking the time to reply Vickie00 I want to buy smart and don't want to get taken in by all the ""freebies"".... This one does not have Bluetooth which I am not sure if I really need ? I use an iPhone and iPad but really need a home computer. I do want to be able to interact with each. Perhaps I eyed to run to best buy and talk to someone b4 I decide on the TSV??

HP Pavilion 17-f221nr Notebook . I think the screen doesn't look as clear as other HP printers and I want Bluetooth. I don't want to put a dongle in a USB to get Bluetooth. I will wait and get one later. The Microsoft 365 is a rip off to me. Open Office is a nice alternative.1366x768 resolution on the screen. They had a question about Beats Audio and would they play it. No as it wouldn't sound right in the studio? They always played something before. The webcam was not very clear either. I was getting ready to buy this but not anymore.

You may want to look at HP's site for a HP ENVY. This line has quite a few bells and whistles to make a person happy. Make sure you get a CD/DVD drive, if you need one. The company has a new redesigned site. I read somewhere a better time to buy a computer is early February after the CES show in Vegas. I am a little spoiled I do not buy a laptop without an 1920X1080 display, and a 2x2 wireless card. Bluetooth is also a must have.

Exactly nutmeg. No Bluetooth is not that expensive to add when customizing your own on HP site. Why no blue-ray player also? I have a Toshiba 15" Satellite P Series with Intel i7, Bluetooth and Blu-Ray that is better than this. Maybe most of the cost is the touchscreen. I will wait until after February. My Toshiba speed test with Lawn-mark 2013 beat the new HP and it is three years old.

Just heard the rep say you can buy an adapter for under $10 to make Bluetooth enabled? Plug into one of USB ports?

You say that you have an iPhone and iPad and want to interact with each. If that is the case, then you'll want to look for a computer by Apple. This TSV is a windows based computer.

Home shopping channels don't sell computers by Apple, only windows based computers (Dell, HP, etc.). Well, they do sell them on their websites, but you won't see a presentation for an Apple computer. I suggest going directly to Apple to buy the computer for a better price and assistance from experts who will help you get the right computer for your needs.

Since you already use the Apple operating system on your iPhone and iPad, it will be easier to interact with both on a computer if you get a computer within the same company operating system - Apple. Everything will sync together flawlessly.

I'll will say that you can sort of interact with both the iPhone and iPad on a windows computer, but its not easy. Too different operating systems don't work well together.

This adapter works with Windows 8.1.

You can add a Blu-ray player for a $100 dollars. I don't have one in my old Alienware laptop, but I installed one in my latest Dell 8700 desktop.
