Integral Card adapter

Advantages: Good connectivity
Disadvantages: none significant

...or Ethernet connection. We found best to have the main PC connected by cable to Ethernet port and Laptops at other locations with wireless receiver.

Advantages: Its cheap and suitable for business use!
Disadvantages: Monitor is optional

...Nice PC Designed mostly for business use since graphics card is not for the up to date games. It has an internet adapter integrated in the system and something that is even more useful.... a card reader! These card readers can read the memory cards of your mobile phone, video camera (if your video camera has a memory card) or you digital camera! The power supply of this computer is just right for this HP Compaq Business Desktop dx2300 PC. The keyboard and the mouse is provided. Its good to see these are provided since in some other bundles are not. The monitor for this PC is not provided but hey!!!.... its quite cheap to buy so why don't you go and buy a monitor as well?...
