Advantages: Cheap, fast, stable, AGP slot
Disadvantages: Limited upgrade potential

...* Scroll mouse * HP recovery CD, Drivers CD * 3 year warranty – First year next business day onsite There are plenty of variants that can be selected e.g. with or without Word, Celeron or PIII processors, with or without modem or LAN card etc etc. I think the price is a bargain. For this kind of specification, I simply could not find a better priced PC. The nearest rival would be either some of the Fujitsu lines or the Maxdata - but these ...
...very nice touch is the HP system recovery CD. This allows you to restore the whole system to its original "out of the box" state in something like 30 minutes (remember to back up your data first) which will be a godsend for those of us in a habit of overloading their systems to the point that a fresh install is required. The initial set up also has an HP diagnostic partition which is accessible on boot up. Again a nice touch, but of more limited ... Read review

...called up the so called HP service centre and I was in for a rude shock because they straightaway told me that would cost me Rs2500 (50$) for the ram and 2500Rs for the service. I told them It was under warranty and I agree with the equipment it is okay, but the service should not be so high, but they straight away refused to reduce the cost of services. I was no way going to shell out money for the Service so caught hold of a local seller and got ... Read review

Advantages: very reliable, compact, and looks really good
Disadvantages: graphics, too small to add a decent card

The eVectra is pretty good. I got it from a friend, and did not buy it, however, I have been using it to surf the net, do office related work and read emails, as well as play some games. Its quite a decent machine and packs quite a punch given the small size. It has good sound, networking, easy access to the HD if you wanted to replace it - which I did, as well as good overall performance. The one bad thing I can say about it is that the CD drive ...
...not easy to replace. My CD drive is still working, but I do occasionally have problems with some CD's. and In most cases, I cant boot from the CD when I tried to install Linux, but it did boot when I tried to install Win2000. With regards to the specs below, Like I said, I got this machine from a friend, and so, I cant really comment on the price/manuals/support as I didn't get these. Apart from the CD-Rom and graphics card, the machine is quite ... Read review

The HP diagnostic tools installed were a helpful and easily presentable feature. ... Read review
