Advantages: size, weight reduction, great performance
Disadvantages: smaller expansion cards needed.

...in the box is a HP keyboard and optical mouse that connect via USB. There are 4 unused small form factor expansion slots at the rear right of the case for PCI and AGP style cards. Again like the tower design DC7700, the sound is somehow delivered from the PC with no visible speakers. These are built in and come preinstalled with the operating system. So you will have sound during the XP setup. Installation is quick as most of the install is ready ...
...network settings. As mentioned before we have had issues with the pre installed Symantec AntiVirus software as it clashed with our existing A/V on the network but this is something we uninstall before proceeding now. We learnt the hard way! There are no install CDs with the PC itself and it asks you to make a set of recovery CDs when you initially start it up. I would highly recommend doing this as you might need to reinstall the operating system ... Read review

Advantages: Its high capacity for upgrading.
Disadvantages: Poor standard graphics capability. Very uncool design.

This is a good computer for pretty much anything except for high definition graphics like playing the newest games at their upper limits or graphics creation or anything like that. However the thing is, he is capable of much, much more if your not satisfied with how it performs firsthand since its almost empty inside. You can add more RAM memory, you can put a real graphics card on it since its integrated one sucks. Thats why its a very good choice ...
...at its limits not only at its first look value. There are many out there that are better equipped at first look but there is little you can add to them without having to change most of their components starting with their motherboard and maybe even their carcase! With that said i hope i helped those that don't know much about computers but have enough money to buy a fairly expensive one.I'm sorry about saying its expensive but in my country £514.12 ...

Advantages: Great price, features, performance, looks, styling
Disadvantages: Im yet to find one!

...fuller than the DC7700 by HP Compaq. As previously mentioned we are switching to becoming a HP Hardware user fast and their desktops have been a pleasant suprise during hardware replacement. Let have a look at the product. The Case has a shiny silver front giving it a cutting edge look while is Black case with removable side panels make maintenance, upgrades and repairs easy with full access to the internals of the machine. Accessed from the front ...
...Setup and installation. Thanks to HP for making this task as painless as possible. Most of the configuration and installation of the operating system is performed before the PC has been shipped which means the last few setup tasks are straightforward and relatively quick. You can be up and running in a matter of minutes after plugging it in for the first time. Start up and shut down is very quick indeed thanks to the performance of this PC. If ... Read review

Advantages: Great processor, Massive Hard Drive, Cheap price for what you get
Disadvantages: Graphics Card is poor if you want to play the latest games at top spec

...decision in investing in an HP computer as it has been extremely reliable and has yet to go wrong which is always nice. I'm sure at some stage it will go wrong, but at the moment I'm happy with it and the performance doesn't seem to have dropped in the slightest since the moment I bought it. For all those that are interested before I start to write the main brunt of my review, here are the technical specifications of what you will get for your money ...

Advantages: All-in-one design, wireless accessories
Disadvantages: Limited upgrades, expensive

Brilliant PC, quick and has the capability to run most current games. Windows Media Centre Edition includes some nice features for TV viewing (built-in freeview card) and also hard disk recording of live TV. Having said that I have rarely used the PC to it's full potential personally and believe i could've got a more suitable personal computer for a lower more affordable price than the exceptionally high ticket price. Another drawback of the PC ...
...and the inability to upgrade to a larger amount as it already includes it's maximum amount as standard. Overall I would say that if you are thinking of buying one then you will not be disappointed, however maybe you could get a bit better value for money with another brand ... Read review
