Excellent
THE GOOD
Sharp new design; outstanding value and performance compared to other systems in its class; more expandability than typical small PCs; industry-leading support.

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.
