HP Pavilion m8120n

Pros: Core 2 Quad CPU; 3Gb RAM; Two 320Gb SATA Drives; HDTV Tuner.

Cons: Graphics card is good for Vista Aero but slow for modern 3-D games.

The Bottom Line: Great PC for very reasonable price (Q6600 Core 2 Quad CPU itself retails for around $500.00 so do the math).

Review: Well this is my 3rd desktop PC and I'm absolutely happy with it. The first thing I done after turning it on was re-configuring hard drives to RAID 0 array for 2x data transfer rate performance; I have also re-installed Windows Vista from scratch...

Pros: 3GB of memory, up to 8GB allowed, quad core processor, tv tuner, wireless keyboard/mouse

Cons: not many, but graphics card could be better, not a major problem for most people

Review: Ok if you look at the m8020n, it has the same features as this computer, although only a Core 2 DUO E6400 processor and only 2 gigs of memory. This m8120n has 3 gigs, topped off with a ~$500 Core 2 QUAD Q6600 processor, with all the other features...

Pros: It is fast, and good enough for what I do. Plenty of storage.

Cons: Support is terrible. Keyboard is worse.

The Bottom Line: It is OK if you want to buy new mouse/keyboard.

Review: I bought this computer the first day it was out. From the first it didn't work right.

My emails looked like some foreign language with missing letters in the words. After the hundredth email I had to retype, I threw the keyboard across the...

Pros: Nice color. Props door open in strong wind. Because of design problem none.

Cons: Poor design, bay drive problems.

Review: I too thought this was a great machine.. at first. But in the 5 months that I have had it - it burned out 3 Bluetooth recievers that was needed for the wireless mouse and keyboard, had to be returned to the repair facility in Texas for a motherboard...
