Advantages: size, weight reduction, great performance
Disadvantages: smaller expansion cards needed.

...in the box is a HP keyboard and optical mouse that connect via USB. There are 4 unused small form factor expansion slots at the rear right of the case for PCI and AGP style cards. Again like the tower design DC7700, the sound is somehow delivered from the PC with no visible speakers. These are built in and come preinstalled with the operating system. So you will have sound during the XP setup. Installation is quick as most of the install is ready ...
...network settings. As mentioned before we have had issues with the pre installed Symantec AntiVirus software as it clashed with our existing A/V on the network but this is something we uninstall before proceeding now. We learnt the hard way! There are no install CDs with the PC itself and it asks you to make a set of recovery CDs when you initially start it up. I would highly recommend doing this as you might need to reinstall the operating system ... Read review

Advantages: Good configuration options, Windows XP, quiet and fast
Disadvantages: Looks are not going to win places on many desks

Earlier this year I bought five of these for a customer. It must be said that the money was not spent on visual styling. They are not the best looking machine but they are a good package in terms of performance and value if you shop around. They are very quiet and easy to configure. I had reservations about using Vista until SP1 had come out and since most of the customer's office used Windows XP I had to look around for a PC which came with Windows ...
...then have to buy an XP licence? It was best to get around the rather basic and uninspiring design by standing the base unit under the desk on its edge rather like a slim tower. The PC was well specified with 1 GB of RAM and this worked very well with the chosen operating system, Windows XP. It also came with a DVD burner which offered good performance. In all a good performer for the office, quiet and reliable and easy to work on. I would recommend ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, fast, stylish
Disadvantages: Not much ram

...replace our DELL PCs with Fujitsu Siemens. I can honestly say I'm very pleased with that decsion! The base unit can be stored either vertically or horizontally and is a basic light and dark grey colour, nothing to spectacular about it's looks! The monitor I have is 19" and is fantastic, really big and bright and perfect for office working conditions. The system comes with Windows XP and all the basic Microsoft gumph that you would expect to find, ...
...to upgrade to 1GB quite cheaply. Overall, this PC is brilliant for office use, as well as at home. It makes a nice change to be using something other than Dell and I think Fujitsu Siemens PCs will gain a bigger share in the market as time moves on. ... 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

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
