CNET Editors' review - HP Pavilion Slimline S3330f
  Hide
CNET Editor's rating: 9.1 out of 10
Reviewed by Rich Brown Review date: 2/28/08 Release date: 2/1/08 The good: Outstanding price-to-feature ratio; Blu-ray/HD DVD combo drive; small, flexible case; great performance thanks to a speedy dual-core AMD CPU The bad: Begs for an integrated IR receiver The bottom line: The HP Pavilion Slimline S3330f delivers a remarkable combination of features, value, and flexibility. It excels as both a traditional desktop, and a full-fledged living room PC, complete with a Blu-ray and HD DVD drive. Any nongamer in the market for a sub-$1,000 PC should put this system at the top of their list. Product brief - HP Pavilion Slimline S3330f

Description: The HP Pavilion Slimline S3330f is an Athlon 64 X2-based, mainstream computer. Compared to other general-purpose desktop computers on the market, it is very inexpensive at around $1,005. This system comes with 2 GB RAM, and a 500GB hard drive. Pros: Has a DVD? RW(? R DL) / DVD-RAM/ BD-ROM disc drive, which is considerably more preferable than some similarly priced desktop computers. Also, this desktop computer has a nVidia GeForce 8500 GT graphics chip, which is considerably better performing than some similarly priced desktop computers. Also, the 500GB hard disk installed on this machine is rather large when compared to the average desktop. Cons: None noted, given available product data. Suitability: Suited for those who want to balance price with performance. Also comes with advanced word processing software -- fine for most serious business or academic document authors. However, store massive amounts of data on DVD using the DVD burner included in this desktop. This computer also has a CD writer, allowing you to compile your own audio CDs or video CDs. Value: Given its very inexpensive price, this desktop computer has great features for the money. Suggestions: (1) Using this PC's Firewire (1394) port, you can connect to many digital camcorders and other equipment and rapidly upload data to the computer's hard drive. (2) If you plan to be playing the latest 3-D games, you may want to invest in a more powerful video card from NVidia or ATI, which are popular with the gaming community (requires an open AGP or PCIe slot).
