HP Pavilion p6130f - Phenom X4 9750 2.4 GHz

Description: The HP Pavilion p6130f is a Phenom X4-based, basic desktop PC.Compared to other value-oriented PCs on the market, it is relatively expensive at around $605.This PC comes with 8 GB RAM, and a 750GB hard drive.

Pros: Has a shared video memory (UMA) Video Memory/ Memory Allocation Technology, which is somewhat more favorable than some similarly priced PCs.Also, the 750GB drive installed on this machine is larger when compared to the average desktop.However, the Phenom X4 based CPU installed on this machine is fast enough to handle demanding applications, such as graphics and multimedia.

Cons: None noted, given available product data.

Suitability: A basic PC, suited for basic computing tasks, such as word processing, e-mail, and web browsing.The nVidia GeForce 9 series based graphics on this PC should suffice for basic needs outside of professional design and advanced graphics tasks.This model's product line was designed for home use.

Value: Notwithstanding its relatively expensive price, this PC has great features for the money.However, this desktop combines fast processing with plenty of storage.
