RW/ DVD-RAM disc drive, which is more preferable than some similarly priced PCs.The rather big 750GB hard drive installed on this machine will give you oodles of room for storing thousands of applications and files.Also, this machine's Core 2 quad based processor is burly enough to handle demanding applications, such as the latest games.

Weaker Features: None noted, given available product data.

Suitability: A value-oriented PC, suited for basic computing tasks, such as word processing, e-mail, and web browsing.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 camcorder onto DVD's.This computer also has a CD writer, allowing you to compile your own audio CDs or video CDs.

Value: Despite its expensive price, this PC has great features for the money.However, this PC combines burly processing power with plenty of storage.

Suggestions: (1) 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).(2) For help in deciding if this is the right desktop for you, see CNET's buying guide for desktops.
