Reviewing: Hp Pavilion Slimline S3020n
Purchased at: Circuit City     Price: $899.00 USD

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.

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.

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.
