In my experience, HP computers have always been reliable, solid, and hassle free. So for this model you are guaranteed a stable system that won't let you down. However, its functionality is severely limited. It is ideal for doing spreadsheets, documents, surfing the internet and any business you may have, but that's all it is good for. The lack of memory means it would have a hard time running more than two or three programmes at the same time. There is nothing extra or fun you could do with it. A DVD drive would let you watch DVDs, but you can't burn them, or even CDs. Lack of storage space (a mere 80 gig) means you can't keep anything more than a few documents and databases. Integrated sound and audio means you won't be able to play the latest games, or experience optimum audio performance when listening to MP3s/CDs/DVDs. It only comes with Windows XP and Vista is the future-proofed option. So for the price, you will get an excellent, cheap dependable system for doing business on, but nothing else. This would make a useful system to upgrade with, but there are cheaper options out there.

This computer is fast and goods.In my experience, HP computers have always been reliable, solid, and hassle free. So for this model you are guaranteed a stable system that won't let you down. However, its functionality is severely limited. It have 80GB Hard Disk, it's mean you can put a few songs, and some games. This computer is to a people who don't want much action, adrenaline, its more to make some school works, listen some songs. If you want to play games, take some better computer and have much more fun.This would make a useful system to upgrade with, but there are cheaper options out there.

This Tower is brilliant i have herd a few people saying other wise. they complain about small harddrive or low memory my answer to that is: UPGRADE IT.. it doesn't take a computer nerd to work that out jesus. i have a 120gb hard drive and 2gb of ram and the somputer is runing brillaintly. i have loads of games and hundereds of songs and videos on this computer and it still is going quick.... The only downside is the graphics card.... but again just needs upgrading and that isn't too expensive......... COME ON PEOPLE UPGRADE THAT HARDWARE !!!!!!!!!!

Good for homework base but it still not good for gamers and multimedia projects.
(+) good and detail spec
(-) no brand name on each hardware
2 stars of 5 just for the Intel Platform only.

Advantages: Fast and good call support Disadvantages: many better looking pcs in the market
Its a pc worth having a little pricy for me but for the support that is given incase there are any problems with it, so it is good, speed too is good. Any buisness stream will indeed make good use of this pc. Its great with mutli tasking. This is something that is really in need for and in the present time business scenarios. Also the time for the processor to compile various jobs is good and this is needed very much in current core business pc because ...
