Advantages: Looks good, quiet, got sufficient USB ports, plenty of space and software
Disadvantages: Wouldn't suit gamers, not designed to poke inside or add drives etc

Small form, ideal for a second pc or first time user as all software is loaded already. Fires up quickly, apart from a slight hum you wouldn't know it was there. No good if you like poking about and adding bits and pieces although you can upgrade the ram quite easily. Looks quite neat sat in the corner of my lounge with a small 15" screen. About the size of a extra fat laptop. I use picture editing quite a lot and have no problems at all with speed. ...
...there. Although it runs Vista basic I can still do automatic backups with the windows software. If you are new to computers there is no need to buy extra software as it is all included although no discs (your first job is to create a backup disc although there is a recovery drive you can use). I've had it about six weeks now and I am highly delighted for such a small price. ... Read review

Advantages: PERFORMS WELL
Disadvantages: COSTLY.

The hp Compaq stunned my mind when I heard its ability to deliver proven technology. I have some influence on deciding on which type of computer hardware or software to purchase in office.

Advantages: No bugs, major crashes, fast and loads of fun!
Disadvantages: Can't think of any....

I was absolutely blown away by this little computer! My partner, who is a graphic designer, bought this to replace the PC we had and as soon as I got on it I was away! It is so user friendly and easy to navigate. I have learned so much through just using and I don't get irritated by it because it hardly ever crashes. When it does 'crash' or 'freeze up' it's very easy to rectify as you just click 'force quit' and it solves the problem! Brilliant! ...
...to get it working again! Yay! There is also some really fun software already on it like the IMovies and IDVD that you can create your own little movies with photographs with music and effects. It's really good fun and that's the key to this little Mac, it's fun to use whatever you're doing! ... Read review

Advantages: Monitor, Business, Keyboard, Look.
Disadvantages: Slow, Heavy, Space taker.

Well the Dell Dimension 2400 I could say is pretty good for business purposes. Dell does let you customize it but its more of a business system. Its not really all that fast, it has two ram slots no agp slot. Which means no video card, which means no high quality good games. How ever I recommend this system for typing, at home jobs, and for searching purposes. Pretty good size monitor but thats about it. Works with windows xp and lower O.S. Read review
