When I got my D510 a few months ago, more or less everybody in the office had a comment to make. Mostly along the lines of "That's cool isn't it?" or "How come you get all the best stuff?". To answer the second question, that's because I work hardest of course - but that's not important right now. What is important is that the enormous, noisy off-white monolith which used to dominate both my desk and my field of vision has been replaced with a tidy little piece of desktop art which, as well as looking good, has caused me the least trouble of any of the many PC's I've worked with. I'm a programmer and spend all of every working day with my computer, so without the right tool the job doesn't get done. This model isn't the most poweful in terms of processor speed or memory, but XP seems to love it and they get along famously. Here's the main reasons why I love it too:
- It has never crashed. - I can pick it up and put it in the car almost as easily as I could a laptop. - It just sits there and works. If it didn't look so good you wouldn't even notice it.
In terms of specifications, it's very well equipped with plenty of USB ports (6 in fact), a big-enough-for-me hard disk (18GB), ethernet, sound, Intel Extreme Graphics adapter and CD-ROM, all of which fit snugly and stylishly into the black and silver case. Some may argue that said snug fit denies any opportunity for expansion, but it's not really an expansion kind of computer. Having said that, if you slide the cover off and marvel at the clever tesselation of the components for a few minutes you'll see there's room for a memory upgrade and if you decide you want to replace the hard drive or CD-ROM at some point there's nothing stopping you.
The price point may be anywhere in the £500-£700 range depending on where you buy, so it's not going to upset your accountant either. All of this along with Compaq's highly reputable support makes it eminently suitable for corporate users. It's not aimed at gamers, it's a business machine and does exactly what it would say on the tin if it came in one.

Advantages: Looks great, very fast Disadvantages: no good for gaming
We recently upgraded my departments computers from the old dust-covered dinosaurs and we all got these. The HP CompaqEvoD510. First impressions were great, it looks really nice with a dark black tower with a shiny silver front, and the flat screen monitor is a welcome replacement for the normal box that takes up half the desk.
The specs are as follows
1. Pentium 4 processor (2.4 Ghz)
2. 256 mB ram
3. 40 GB Hard Drive
4. CD Rom drive 48x
5. OS XP Professional
This machine has speeded up my day considerably, it is very fast and bearing in mind we use some large spreadsheets and a couple of large packages almost constantly, I think this is quite good. I no longer spend hours a day tapping my desk and watching that bloody hourglass.
However while I can quite happily recommend this as a workplace computer I dont think it would ...
