"Good looking business system"
Pros: Neat quiet system, 3 yr on-site cover reassuring
Cons: No feet for upright orientation of system unit, keyboard not the best
Summary: I liked the idea of a small quiet system in the office and looked at HP as well as this system. I was able to buy a small form factor (not the very smallest) with a 24" Dell wide screen at a good price, through a reseller.
I chose the DVD/1Gb RAM/80Gb HD/ 128Mb video card system in order to future-proof it.
It has a variable speed fan which calls for cooling as required, a neat laptop style DVD and plenty of connectivity, clearly labelled.
The widescreen allows you to have several progams open and visble at the same time.
I also purchsed the "soundbar" that clips to the base of the screen and an optional 5 speaker sound system. This give very good music sound quality, the bass adds depth.
I have used the technical helpline on one occasion, in order to get the sound system working. The helpline is for business systems (3 yr onsite) only and was answered quickly.
The advisor was possibly based in India; he was clear, patient and accurate in his advice and solved the problem.
The whole system (with MS Works, i.e. Word, Autoroute, Encarta, MS Money etc) would have been £2,000, although I paid much less than that for a perfect system that had possibly been a return.
I will probably replace the keyboard, as, although it looks neat, the action is too long and not delicate, like, say, the Sony wireless that I have.
All in all, very happy so far and recommended.
