What You Should Know about the Pavilion s3330f Desktop (2.8GHz AMD Athlon 64 X2 5400+, 2GB DDR2, 500GB, BD-ROM/HD DVD-ROM/DVDRW DL, Windows Vista Home Premium)

Compact Case Is Designed for Smaller Work Areas

This compact computer is smaller than the standard and midsize tower PCs that fit under your desk, making it ideal for limited work areas. Small case designs vary, too. However, such PCs tend to be underpowered (especially on gaming), and mini cases also have few available expansion slots and drive bays.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: 1) Its tiny. 2) Its a media center. 3)Its loaded

    Weaknesses: The CPU gets really hot

    Overall Evaluation: I was worried about getting a new computer with Vista, having heard the horror stories. However, I really really love this PC. I paired it with the HP W2207H monitor (which is awesome as well) and I couldn?t be happier. I love the blu-ray and HD DVD drive. We are big music and family photo/video buffs and this just allows us to organize it all perfectly. It?s a great value at $780. We were delighted to find that it also comes with Lightscribe technology. I highly recommend this PC.
