Advantages: fitted with reliable and easy to replace parts
Disadvantages: none stated by an owner of a packard bell i connect 2800i
i have used my packard bell iconnect pc since 1999 i now also have a iconnect 2800i which i have networked together with the other one. both my pcs have never given me any trouble the reboot system is fast and reliable and parts are easy to replace i have owned other pcs and they have lasted no more than two or three years. My iconnect machine has outlived both of these.

Dave_J_D
Advantages: Good looks & performance, TFT screen, Very quiet, reliability
Disadvantages: Relatively little memory as supplied, cheap mouse
...it's much smoother.
So far it's been rock solid (Touches wood as writes that!) So from now on I'm sticking to 'band Name' PC's - Packard Bell most likely. A bit more expensive, but it pays in reliability, and a VERY helpful user forum at www.packardbell.co.uk ...

Packard Bell Imedia 2579
Review of Packard Bell iMedia 2579 - Core 2 Duo E6300 1.86 GHz by
mop591
Advantages: A cheap, very good buy
Disadvantages: only 1GB RAM
a great fast and cheap pc. Purchased this recently for a low £350 and completly blew me away as this is much faster than previous. Installation was easy and very short. Its dual core with 1.86Ghz each can cope with many programs open at once, and its ATI graphics card can support some very powerful games. This is one reason i purchased this. Its great value as well for people wishing for a new pc without a moniter.
The only thing that lets it down ...

Advantages: Cheap Cheap Cheap
Disadvantages: Hard-disk on the smallish side
...pounds. This is where the Packard Bell 3051 iMedia comes in; a friend of mine was looking for a new PC and despite my protestations had decided that PC World was the shop to get his custom. A look around the various models on display unearthed what seemed to be a veritable bargain - the above mentioned system for just £310. Some questioning of a shop assistant revealed that this price did not include a monitor but since the friend in question had ... ...CD as well as a Packard Bell recovery DVD Rom should things go wrong and the factory default setup needs to be returned to.
◄A look at the components in more detail►
◄The Processor►
The 3051 is powered by an Intel Celeron 2.6 GHz Processor with 128 kb cache memory which is a budget processor from Intel aimed to counteract the success of AMD`s Duron chip. The Intel Celeron is also very much the poor relation to Intels Pentium ...

Review of Packard Bell iMedia 4608 by
matthew2007
Advantages: Sounds are very nice
Disadvantages: The harddrive is too small, Not enough RAM or Graphics Memory
...+ into their PC systems, Packard Bell gave me a 850 MhZ that couldnt keep up with the first PC Made! When I turned the PC on, I had to go away for about 10 minuted to let the thing load up fully to be used. You cannot fit a lot onto 20GB on a PC thats supposed to be for Media. Anyone knows that a movie takes up around 700MB - 1GB of space and if you want to store your DVD's on your PC you can only fit about 15 onto 20GB as you need space for other ... ...to replace it. Packard Bell make reliable PC's, they just dont put the relevant things into them. They need to try harder on new PC's to get them up to the standards! They should plan ahead, 300-500GB HDD's should now be put into PC's to cope with the new developments. ...
