MAXDATA Favorit 1000 - Celeron D 330 2.66 GHz

Advantages: Amazing Spec for Price
Disadvantages: not the best looker

...I have know that IBM have been a good reliable make for a while now, but this PC is amazing. The spec that you get for the money is good and in general the PC feels fast, amazing for your day to day tasks, such as word processing and basic picture editing. I personnally use it for programming, and makes light work with VB. With any IBM product this feels study and doesnt look like its going to break with time. I love the monitor. The only downside to this is the looks, not exactly a great looker, but hey when its this cheap. The Celeron D 330 2.66 is a really good CPU, it may not be the new line of chips from intel, but are very study and reliable.... Read review

Advantages: Fast clock speed / Good amount of lvl2 cache
Disadvantages: Could balance out workload onto both cores a bit more

...This processor is a fairly mid-high spec for core 2 duo range it delivers some great performance for a good price. This cpu can handle a lot of multi-tasking along with playing powerful games. Usually i can run a defragmentation and notice it hardly at all i can play games and play music with no problem it just makes desktop computing so easy. As you may know this is an Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 / 2.66ghz cpu, It has 2 cores on the one chip. it runs with 64-bit architecture which then opens up a whole new world of 64-bit operating systems for tommorows technolodgy...this along with the fact it has 4mb lvl2 cache makes superfast repsonse rates to programs and files i have also noticed that their are not so many "cache misses" to which i expected so this pleases me the most :D The only downside is that i have noticed that core...

Advantages: Good Value for money, attractive design
Disadvantages: No DVD drive

...This computer look aesthetically very good in a sleek black colour with unique IBM black casing, and for most desktop applications will work very well while remaining stable. The Celeron D processor is a resonable speed giving fast loading speeds and supporting the more processor intensive applications. The main disadvantage with this machine is that it doesn't have a DVD drive as standard, although these can now be purchased for as cheap as £10.00 if you look around on the internet (www.ebuyer.com is a good one!). As far as the high power demanding games go, the Celeron processors and intel boards are quite sufficient for most of your needs when combined with a reasonable graphics card. Overall recomendation: Great computer if you are on a low budget, or looking for something to build up on and improve over time!... Read review
