Noteworthy Features:
Has a DVD? RW(? R DL) / DVD-RAM disc drive, which is more preferable than some similarly priced PCs.Also, this PC comes with Microsoft Windows Vista and Microsoft Windows Vista Home premium OS, which is more powerful than some similarly priced PCs.By way of comparison, the average cost of a product with a comparable set of operating systems is $995.Also, the 500GB drive installed on this machine is roomy when compared to most of today's PCs.However, the Athlon 64 X2 based processor installed on this machine is fast enough to handle demanding applications, such as digital video.
Weaker Features:
None noted, given available product data.
Suitability:
A budget PC, suited for basic computing tasks, such as word processing, e-mail, and web browsing.Preserve favorite home movies for future generations by saving them onto DVD with this computer's DVD burner.You can compile audio CDs with this desktop?s CD recorder.
Value:
Given its relatively inexpensive price, this PC has good features for the money.However, this desktop manages to combine class-leading processing power with ample storage.
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).

After years of using laptops I felt the "urge" to get a desktop again. But I didn't want an "Elephant" sitting under my desk. Then I saw the HP s3300f slimline. It is half the size of a normal desktop, yet with all the features you expect from a desktop. The processor delivers good speed, you have a 500gb harddisk, a DVD RW with Lightscribe, onboard Wireless (important to me), 2 GB RAM, 6 USB (4 at the back and 2 in front), Media cardreader, NVidia integrated graphics card (you can dedicate up to 831 Mb) for graphics. Excellent computer, though I advise you to look for another keyboard, because the one that comes with it, ...eh sucks.
