-Macs look sexy. End of.

-There is a huge world of free software ONLY on Mac (freeware). Just take a look at apple downloads section to see what I mean.
-You're part of a computer revolution.
I run Tiger 10.4 on my mac, which is a superb OS although if you buy one now, you'll be running Leapord...the most advanced OS in the world!
Spending the dough
If you've ... ...8 processers in total.
Apple do a lovely range of laptops for those who travel.
The perfect companion for iPod users

Overall, this is a 5-star product...you really MUST buy a Mac mini and you'll be delighted! ...

The affordable yet powerful PC.
Review of HP Pavilion t819.uk Photosmart PC - P4 515 2.93 GHz by
Riddal
Advantages: Affordable, flexible, good quality, nice looking.
Disadvantages: TV capture is naff, HD smaller than advertised
...4GB used up by built-in HP recovery software. It makes you wonder why it needs pre-installed recovery software but, with todays users, I guess it's explainable. The RAM in the PC is the PC3200 type and it cost me about £40 to upgrade to 700+ MB from Crucial Technologies. The graphics processor is alright - nothing special. Unsurprising as it's an Intel one, along with the processor. I had to upgrade to a 256MB ATI card using the PCI Express slot ... ...has a DVD+/- RW drive with a spare slot below. There are many connection possibilities including seven or so USB ports, firewire, S-Video & composite inputs, built in ethernet port.
There are three PCI slots, one of which is free. The modem and TV capture card are installed here. The HD is connected to the motherboard by SATA, and there are four slots for RAM in total if you feel like upgrading. There is a free CD/DVD drive bay.
When upgraded the ...

sheelbe999
Advantages: Looks extremely sexy, quick and reliable with the right protection
Disadvantages: Comes with very little "worth having" software
My father bought this computer as a family computer. Since buying it we have run into a few problems with it. The screen developed a frozen pixle. (a pixle that only appears in one colour). Also the computer came with no anti adware/anti spyware software what so ever. After only a few months of having it, the machine had to be formatted(everything cleared off the hardrive) this caused me and my brother to loose work and we had to reload all of our ... ...can see a small flap at the bottom of the tower, when this is folded down there are lots and lots of different card slots, very useful when your family has 3 or four digital cameras. This is a great computer although with your money you are paying a lot for the fact its Sony. Don't make the same mistake as me, make sure that before you do anything on it, get as much anti spyware and anti adware on there as you can. I would recommend ad-aware and ...
