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

Advantages: excellent TFT screen and touchsmart ability
Disadvantages: dodgy keyboard

...read the review of this HP TouchSmart IQ770 I was doubting whether or not to buy it. However I am very glad that I did, I absolutely love it This PC has a lot going for it, it is very stylish and modern looking, excellent 19" TFT screen which can be moved up and down to suit most peoples height. The keyboard can be slotted just under the pc into its own niche which, if you need it, gives plenty of space on your desk. The keyboard and mouse are both ...
...not as yet got onto HP about this problem but will definitely do so in the near future. I am also very happy with the touchscreen performance, it is very useful after spending a long time either using the mouse or keyboard to be able to just sit back and touch the screen. Make sure that you use the stylus provided otherwise you will end up with lots of finger marks on the screen. At the back of the pc there is a HP photo printer docking station ... Read review

Advantages: fast, powerful, reliable machine
Disadvantages: quite expensive

My friend has one of these and seems to really like it and recommended it to me. I already have a great pc so decided instead to review it here. It looks like your typical base unit and it performs well at the tasks that my mate uses it for, which is for gaming purposes and surfing the net. Its a popular gaming desktop pc and has a powerful NVidia GeForce 7300LE 336MB TurboCache graphics card to allow for full 3d gaming. Must say i was impressed ...
...4400 which measures up quite well against Intel's Core2Duo range of cpus. Coupled with 2GB of DDR2 ram and a 250 GB hard drive its an impressive machine that should reasonably handle all of your needs. I mean if it can handle top-spec games with high graphics requirements than it can absolutely handle your work and other leasure needs. I particularly like the 7 USB 2.0 outlets on the back which my friend really needs for all his little desktop gadgets. ... Read review

Advantages: Small and compact, ideal for day to day use
Disadvantages: Not the best for gamers

Just to sum it up before I blabber on, Awesome for the Price. The pavilion slimline s3015 may not be top of the range, it may not have the best graphics card and it may not have the best processor. But at the price it's going for (+/- £325 on average) it's fantastic, great for the people who have had a dusty old machine clankering away all these years and is failing to meet their basic needs such as web browsing and media sharing. For the price ...
...the basics will be able to afford this without breaking the bank. The graphics card and processor are also powerful enough to run most direct x 9 games on respectable settings, although for the hardened gamer this pc wouldnt be compatible for their needs. With the space for an extra gig of ram to be fit into the tiny chasis this pc could beome a very versatile little machine. ... 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. The PC device comes with dual core technology type and the dual core simply means that the PC is capable of having more than one processor and it has advantages over those PCs that have only one processor because it is quite faster and can process numerous in ...
...use for my office work. HP has proven their competence on making computer hard wares including printers that I regard one of the best in the market currently. Well getting this in my household would cost me quite some money because this is an office use. Since I am now in need of such PC, I think of making savings for it. Its company manual description is detailed very well and quite easy to understand and use. From what I have read from the manual, ... Read review
