HP Workstation Xw9300

This machine is a dream come true for anyone who uses the computer alot. well as long as you have the cash anyway.

Im an electronic Technician and Im for ever on the computer writing software and the like. I spend over 6 hours a day on it.

When I first started work a couple of years ago we were using Dell PCs, which dont get me wrong are good and im sure you could get a better spec one then what we had but it was fairly slow at going through all the data.

This PC is so fast to upload bits of software that I havent even got time to put the kettle on. So im not sure if it is a good idea having a faster PC lol.

This machine comes with built in CD-RW / DVD-ROM combo drive. The PC came with a 80GB Hard drive. But I have just ordered a 250GB to upgrade. 4 gb RAM

Came with windows Pro xp, which will soon be upgrading!

It looks stylish, sexy and sleek. Comes in Black or Black and silver, I have got the plain Black one at work. It comes in a Square box, mine also came with a keyboard and mouse, which Im not sure is standard. They came in a different box, I think they gave them us by mistake.

Its not at all heavy, very easy to move round. The size is not bad neither, will fit on most peaples work stations.

With regards to sound and Video Graphics. There is no seperate Video card with it but it does have a sound card. Doesnt mean it cant be added. Although for the price you wud think that they would through one in.

But with Hewlett-Packard you know your getting quality, but does quality need to come with such a price. Some would argue yes, but then who really cares what them rich people think :)

So whats the price i Hear you ask well we got it on trade price of £2,050 but you can pay up to nearly £3,000 for it. See what i mean by a bit expensive. Other then the price this is a good work station

So to sum up, this is a very fast and so far reliable Workstation, but not one for family use, just for business use Im affraid, unless you have a couble of grand lying around. Ad far as family PC goes you could get a really fast and top of the range one for less then a grand. I infact build my own at home, which cost less then £400.

So I recommend this for business's only.
