I bought this PC early this year and bought it as a package deal with monitor/scanner/speakers. I do think it was a tad expensive, however, I have been extremely pleased with its performance.

Due to working in graphics I had always used Apple Mac's and friends had wondered why I was going for a PC. But I had a lot of trouble with my last Mac and could never find people to help repair it as they are so specialised.

At the moment I mainly use this PC for internet usage - but I have also edited video footage and worked on my website using a variety of software. I find it extremely fast and hardly never freezes on me. The windows vista OS that came with it is also very easy to understand, however, my printer has not been compatible with Vista and I havent been able to download a driver from Epson.

The tower section is large but quite light so I carried the PC up 4 flights of stairs to my flat. The keyboard is very slim and attractive in the black/silver. There is a slight hum off this computer, louder than my last one, but I usually have music on while working.

The speed to burn CD's/DVD's is also very fast and the instruction guide I recieved walked me through the set up in a short time. The software I got with this is very basic and you would probably want to buy Microsoft Office if you were using it for home business. All in all I would recommend it especially if you don't have a huge budget for a PC.

I got mine at PC World where the staff were very knowledgable, carried it to the car, and were available later on the phone when I had questions about my printer.
