When i was thinking of changing my base unit i looked at a lot of different models. But because i only had a limited amount of money to spend i didn't have a great deal of choice of the quality. That is until i came accross this machine. From what i had seen from other systems this was a bargain and had a lot of great features. This came with a very large amount of memory like the 512mb and 80gb of ram. The processor was very fast and even though the graphics card isn't the best in the world it does a good job with some of the games i play on. The system came with Norton Antivirus software but am not sure whether the software has a time limit before you have to purchase it. This does a good job and has cleared up some of the viruses i have encountered. The choice of software to play DVD's and copy music and DVD's makes this better than some of the more expensive systems. It comes with a Media Centre where you can play DVD's and CD's in and also copy CD's and DVD's onto disks. Also there is a NTI CD and DVD Maker 7 which allows me to copy CD's and DVD's easily. There is also the usual features all packed into this great system. The only disadvantages with the system is that it doesn't come with the disk for Windows XP but this does come installed which i was happy with despite not having the disk. Also it didn't come with the Microsoft Office Suite but i didn't expect it to at such a low price. At £240 i would encourage anyone wanting a PC to search the interent and do work and play and download the odd game or music this is the computer to get.

This is an interesting introduction to this product ~ but difficult to read due to a lack of double-spacing between paragraphs ~ ~ ~ to add more information and extra spacing (enter; enter; to add space) go to the "Edit review" / "Write a review" link under the product name and your Review Title above ~ ~ ~ Was this new or second hand? You might even find that you have been sold an illegal copy of the operating system (a "multiple station at same premises" version ~ which reduces the individual cost per station ~ but is illegal, as an authorised version includes the disk to each owner) ~ Norton is usually on a yearly or bi-yearly renewal or updateable contract ~ I have had it for several years but this year it failed to update ~ possibly because I have too little available memory on my re-conditioned PC ~ ! ♥♥ ! ~ ........................................................... ~ jes ~ ! ♥♥ !
