Noteworthy Features: Has a DVD? RW(? R DL) / DVD-RAM disc drive, which is more preferable than some similarly priced PCs.Also, the 400GB hard drive installed on this machine is roomy when compared to the average desktop.

Weaker Features: Integrated graphics controllers that rely on shared RAM tend to trade performance for price.

Suitability: Suited for homes or businesses where price is a concern.Also comes with office-grade word processing software -- fine for most serious business or academic writers.However, comes with a DVD writer, allowing you to convert home movies from your digital videocamera onto DVDs.You can compile wav CDs with this computer?s CD recorder.

Value: Despite its relatively expensive price, this PC has great features for the money.

Suggestions: (1) Check to make sure that an AGP or PCIe slot is available if you plan to upgrade to a stand-alone graphics card.(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).
