Advantages: Cheap, simple to use
Disadvantages: Lack of power, poor expansion

...recently. This is where the Dell shows it's downside. As simple as it is, it provides very little workability for advanced users. After looking into the problem and attempting many fixes, I had no luck solving the problem - I could still watch no videos. The only solution would be to reinstall the operating system - something that is tricky on this computer, as no install disk is provided! I eventually resorted to acquiring my own install disk, ...
...the lack of expansion options. There are no true graphics slots (AGP or PCI-E), so the best dedicated graphics card I could fit was the nVidia 6200 PCI. This is a very basic card and does not allow games with advanced graphics to be played, which was a problem for me. There are no extra slots for further hard drives either. Overall, the system is very good for a basic user, particularly for families who require a simple, relatively cheap personal ... Read review

Advantages: Fast, low price
Disadvantages: low storage, poor graphics card, lack of upgrades

A bought this computer around two years ago and it has its pros, and its cons. The I updated my computer so it could have 2Gb of ram, so it runs nice and fast. I bought it at a low price so the value was pretty decent. One problem with it was the lack of upgrades that could be done, which brought other problems. Some that I ran into with it are, a very low disc space (33Gb) so I had to buy myself an external hard drive. The graphics card could not ...
...I have, which will eventually not be good enough. The cooling fan is horrible so its sounds extremely loud. So, although it does have some good things about it, the bad out weigh the good, so if your searching to buy a new PC soon, go with something else. ... Read review

Advantages: Very Sleek, Full Of Extras And No Unsightly Wiring Everywhere
Disadvantages: Inefficient Cooling Due To Sleek Case, Possible unreliability Due To High Operating Temperatures

...although i must admit that hp were kind enough to replace its hard disk drive twice in less than a month. 5 stars for that HP! but really in my own personal opinion this machine is heavily overpriced considering its performance. although it does look nice its comes with windows vista home premium installed which makes light work of this pc's lack of resources. and not forgetting the temperature issue, i have at this very moment checked the temperates ...
...load, (ie, only running mozilla firefox and zonealarm security suite and windows obviously) This pc will sit quite comfortably at a CPU temperature of 64*c and a GPU temp 54*c. personally i wouldn't expect to see this high of temperature unless this machine had been heavily overclocked, but at stock speeds this is crazy. But there is a good side to my review... I must admit that this pc comes packed to the teeth with loads of extras. for one this ... Read review
