Small But Versatile Desktop By balentine2 on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
My husband bought this computer for me for Mothers Day last year. I absolutely LOVE it. I had been wanting a new computer for a while. At the time I had a second hand Dell that my sister gave me when she upgraded and it was beginning to show its age.
This computer has many features I enjoy but I think my favorite is its size. The tower is a Slimline model and is only about 12 inches tall and 4 inches wide. It takes up a lot less romm than my old computer. We bought it as a package and it came with a 17 inch monitor and free printer.
It has a 250 GB hard drive and is expandable up to another 120 GB. It has 1024 MB memory. The computer also has built-in wirless capability which is very convenient.
My second favorite feature is the CD/DVD burner. My children and I use it to make customized music CDs. I recently used the DVD burner to make a pictoral family history. It was very easy to do and I was able to make copies for my entire family.
The only small thing I don't really like is that is uses Windows Vista. This doesn't really reflect on the capabilities of the computer but I would have preferred a ealier edition of Windows.
All in all, I think it is a wonderful computer and would highly recommend it.

Sounds like a good present for Mother's Day.
This sounds like something I would like to have the next time I need a new computer. Thanks for all the great information.
Thank you for all the great information on this computer
I just got a new laptop but we are looking for a new desktop for the kids to use. Our old one does not burn cd's or dvd's but I see this one does. It has some of the other features we are looking for too, I'll have to show this to my hubby and see what he thinks.
I love all of my HP's :D I have never had anything bad go on with a HP.
This sounds perfect for Cameron. I like the compact size of this machine, but it still has plenty of memory to it. Does it come with a LCD monitor or is it a crt?
Wow, sounds great. My box is small, but not THAT small. Not a bad price either considering it came with a monitor AND printer:0)
I don't care much for Windows Vista either but the computer sounds nice. I like that the tower is so small and doesn't take up alot of room.
This sounds so cute and slim. A great way to save space on a desk! I just got a laptop with vista and I have somethings that I do not care for with that operating system too. But overall, you seem really happy with your purchase.
It would be nice to have a slimmer tower. It sounds like a real winner.
