  • CNET editors' rating: 4.5 stars Outstanding

THE GOOD
Outstanding price-to-feature ratio; Blu-ray/HD DVD combo drive; small, flexible case; great performance thanks to a speedy dual-core AMD CPU

THE BAD
Begs for an integrated IR receiver

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.

    2.5/5
    For a system that claims to be a full entertainment system it sure is missing a few things. In order to stream video you need bandwidth, 10/100 just doesn't cut it. Also the blue-ray player seems to have trouble with DRM protected discs. It plays...  read more »
