HP Pavilion Slimline s3020n

CNET Editor rating:
4.0 stars Excellent
Average user rating: 2.5 stars out of 38 reviews

The Bottom Line: With new polish and a whole lot of bang for the buck, HP's new Pavilion Slimline s3020n leads the small PC field overall. The glossy black chassis, added expandability, and even a new keyboard make this system attractive both inside and out. Read review

HP Pavilion Slimline S3330f

CNET Editor rating:
4.5 stars Spectacular
Average user rating: 2.5 stars out of 17 reviews

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. Read review

HP Pavilion P6110y

CNET Editor rating:
3.0 stars Good
Average user rating: 3.0 stars out of 4 reviews

The Bottom Line: HP's Pavilion p6110y isn't necessarily an offensive system, and its case might even entice you to give it a second look. We just wish HP had taken a more substantive approach to help this desktop stand out. Its FireWire port might sway you, but otherwise you can find more interesting features from other PCs on the shelf. Read review
