Computer Systems - Product Reviews

docrwm - (August 14, 2004) I've owned 15+ computers over the past 20 years. This computer represents the best cost/benefit ratio of any that I've ever purchased. I've burned DVD-R+'s and watched them on my TV with the included software - no hitch. I've networked it - good to go. I've added a firewire card - no problem. I've scanned via USB 2.0 - wonderful. It has 512mb RAM in ONE SLOT which means the 2nd is open! The HD is 160mb at 7200 and the video is nVidia. The interior is clean, the cables tied well, and the layout surprisingly well thought out for so inexpensive a machine.

PabloEscobar - (November 26, 2004) Have been waiting to buy a media center for the right price and features. With the Windows XP Media center 2005 edition, this was everything I was looking for. The TV picture quality is good. The computer is totally silent. I have had no problems with this computer (Hardware or otherwise). The FM reception is clear with the included antenna. Output to my television set is clear, as I am using the computer as a DVD player as well. Thought long and hard about the differences between Intel vs AMD. For the money and performance, I went with this one. I am very happy with my

Thule - (November 18, 2005) I am a fairly heavy computer user, but my occupation is writing and research, not graphics, so bear that in mind during this review. I can not comment on high end graphics processing. This computer is loaded, both in terms of hardware and software. I set it up with only three problems, only one of which I would consider a negative towards HP. First, it did not detect my Logitech MX-1000 mouse for a few days, so I was not able to configure that until it finally registered (no apparent reason for delay, plugged into USB port). Second, it was not loaded with the driver for my Xerox docuprint P8 laser printer, but it is about four years old. Installed from web and works fine. Third, and t

miche11e - (04/19/2011) I love Dell. There systems speak for themselves. My review is regarding the warranty. I purchased my computer less than a year ago and one day my pc shut off and would not power back on. I contacted Dell who walked me through a troubleshooting process, after which it was determined that the motherboard went bad. I had 111 days left on my warranty so the technician scheduled to have a technician come to my home and replace it. There was no hassle, no run around, and no attempt to place blame on me in order to get out of making good on the warranty. The technician showed up on time, was very friendly, and it took him all of 15 minutes to replace the motherboard. I have never witnessed such exceptional service. I am so grateful for the pleasant experience especially after recently encountering a bad experience with NetGear, who refused to replace a wireless g usb adapter that broke after ejecting it from the usb port, claiming it was not normal use of the product to eject it from the usb port. Unlike Netgear, Dell really stands behind their product.
