The compaq Evo D500 p4 1.6ghz is a good pc in many ways
1)The graphics card has a 3d hardware accelerator so you can play basic 3d games. This isn't integrated so that means that you can take it out and put in a new one I did exactly that and that turned it into a gaming machine.
2) It has 256 mb of Ram in one slot and there are three so again lots of room for upgrading but unless you want' to do a high powered process like video editing 256 is plenty for doing what a home pc should do.
3)It has a 20gb Hard drive this is good because it means that the pc can stay small as this isn't a very big hard drive and if you are thinking of buying it do not be put off by this as you can get an external hard drive these days for about £60.
I gave this pc 4 stars because it is very practicle as it is small yet powerful and with 2 pci ...

This HP Compaq laptop 610 is very good. It has a Intel Celeron M 2.10GHz processor and 160GB HDD. My dad has the same laptop. He is very happy, because this laptop is very powerful, fast and very convenient. It also contains a card reader. It is small, so you can take it with you on a journey. The HP Compaq 610 computer has many useful functions. It is inexpensive. Your children will be able to step out by playing various games such as Counter-Strike 1.6. With this amazing laptop can surf the Internet very quickly. Its operation is simple, so it will be available to both children and adults. I would recommend this computer, wearing all the people who want to buy a good, and priced laptop. ...

Advantages: Very good value for money, good build quality, good touchscreen, decent (3mp) camera Disadvantages: Battery life (and meter) is not very good, camera does not have flash, limited games and apps
I have had this mobile for about 7 months so far. It has been (one of the) best mobiles I have bought. It was very good value for money and the build quality is very good (although for some reason the pink version is more 'plasticky' than the black one). The features on the mobile are what you would expect on a mobile in the price range of the KP500; not too bad but could do with more applications and games. I have however had to send it back once for repair because of a software problem; whenever I went to the music player the mobile froze. This was solved by a firmware update. The 3 inch (not too big, not too small) touchscreen is also very good for what it cost; it is responsive but not as good as the iPhone. Another problem is the battery life. It drains rather quickly and the battery meter does not work very well. It will stay ...
