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: Slimline, Well Featured, Looks Good
Disadvantages: No Firewire, Not thought out properly

...the PC after all! IBM’s ThinkCentre range represents IBM’s mid-range business workstations, enough power and multimedia capabilities to run the top end office and productivity, whilst keeping costs down to make the systems as affordable as possible. A hidden but equally important part of the ThinkCentres resides inside the computer and installed on the hard drives, these discrete design decisions and software packages that are shipped with the machines. ...
...the contents of the IBM ThinkCentre are nothing short of an engineers dream. WHATS ON THE BOX ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The system itself comes pre-loaded with Windows XP Professional, along with a raft of other interesting bits of software.

You will find the latest versions of IBM Rescue and Restore and IBM Director, these two pieces of software will save hours of ... Read review

Advantages: Bread and butter, bog standard box, predictable and easy to deploy
Disadvantages: Not the lowest price for specification

...have come to expect from IBM of late; practical, quite nicely engineered, but again, the description of 'adequate' springs to mind. They have obviously taken a leaf or two from the competition, virtually all of the internal components can be exchanged without having to revert to tools - the IBM standard has been retained, anything marked blue implies that it's for removing (In Compaq, it's green) Depending on the model you buy, it comes with Windows ...
...In summary, well up to office tasks, but of limited interest to home users, but nonetheless well built, and will give many years faithful service. My previous comparisons between IBM kit in general and Volvo remain unchallenged, it's capable, even a little sporty on occasions, but above all safe. ... Read review

Advantages: Ease of use and ease of initial setup
Disadvantages: could maybe be better with a real pentium in it - but I don't really know without changing it

...the purchase - Comet or IBM - I did have to have my printer replaced a Xerox xj6 with a cannon BJC2100 but that could be another op somewhere else sometime. The machine I bought has a Pentium 3 lookalike installed as standard and is fast enough for everthing I do which is mainly word processing and internet use with some paint and draw applications mainly design of proformas for work use. ...
