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: everything ever!
Disadvantages: none

Hi, Mac mini's are brilliant, i have to make it clear that I do not own one, but I use them almost every day! They were designed to be small, so the best thing is that they arn't working as a small machine they work well because they were designed to. What I mean is they didn't say, let's put a 1.8ghz processor in a small computer, they said, let's make a small computer i know we'll put in a 1.8ghz prosessor! It's about the size of a small pile ...
...forget it had a DVI output for viewing so you'll also need a DVI to VGA adaptor if you hope to run on normal monitor (although i belive this is included) It was aimed at the entry level mac user but every maclover loves a mini. These now ship with leopard and are intel based so you can put XP on them if you wish, although i woudln't recommend it because then you leave yourself open to virus's and let's face it mac osX is better than XP! They aren't ... 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: latest Techs
Disadvantages: No Monitor

This is a computer which has all the specs which a latest computer has. It has a dual core processor which is a very fastest processor. even though its a single processor with 1.6 it works as a two processors ( Dual Core) which means it provides the amount of speed as a processor with 3.2 (1.6 x 2 ) GHz. The disadvantage is it does not come with a monitor, and it doesnt have a proper graphics card there fore not suitable for a gamer. But this is ... 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
