"Compact profile, does the job nicely."
Pros: Efficient, everything needed for a good multi-use desktop
Cons: Not a speed demon, half-size plug in cards.
Summary: I purchased this for my wife for her work at home (teaching. It is replacing a very slow and cumbersome older Dell.
This is fast enough for everything she does, including a fair amount of PPT presentations and other graphics.
Not very expandable if you want to make a gaming or hot rod computer out of it, but does everything well as it is.
I don't agree with CNET's review. Both the burner/player and HD can be removed and replaced in a few seconds with no tools.
They made it sound like it's such a burden.
Yes, you do have to change out a couple of plastic brackets if you you want to use a different drive. I don't see where that is such a big deal. How often do you plan to do that anyway?
Of course adding another HD internally is out of the question.
We find it a slim and attractive piece of gear with enough computing power to support everyday work or leisure computing for a long time.
It's nothing super special, but it is no dog either.
