Advantages: Amazing Spec for Price
Disadvantages: not the best looker

I have know that IBM have been a good reliable make for a while now, but this PC is amazing. The spec that you get for the money is good and in general the PC feels fast, amazing for your day to day tasks, such as word processing and basic picture editing. I personnally use it for programming, and makes light work with VB. With any IBM product this feels study and doesnt look like its going to break with time. I love the monitor. The only downside ...

Advantages: Cheap enough to upgrade
Disadvantages: Low RAM

Advantages: Very Sleek, Full Of Extras And No Unsightly Wiring Everywhere
Disadvantages: Inefficient Cooling Due To Sleek Case, Possible unreliability Due To High Operating Temperatures

...although i must admit that hp were kind enough to replace its hard disk drive twice in less than a month. 5 stars for that HP! but really in my own personal opinion this machine is heavily overpriced considering its performance. although it does look nice its comes with windows vista home premium installed which makes light work of this pc's lack of resources. and not forgetting the temperature issue, i have at this very moment checked the temperates ...
...load, (ie, only running mozilla firefox and zonealarm security suite and windows obviously) This pc will sit quite comfortably at a CPU temperature of 64*c and a GPU temp 54*c. personally i wouldn't expect to see this high of temperature unless this machine had been heavily overclocked, but at stock speeds this is crazy. But there is a good side to my review... I must admit that this pc comes packed to the teeth with loads of extras. for one this ... Read review
