    4.5/5
    my last review of the other model
    HP Pavilion Slimline s3200t received a 9 from me. with cons of sound card problems and the wireless n omission. this model on the other hand would've gotten better from me but i cant give it a 10. WIRELESS N IS A MUST HAVE NOWADAYS. yes you can buy it seperate but you should'nt have to. also, the cnet reviewers were correct with the hdmi compatability issues. this is my 11th test of the hp slimline models and this is the first model to work on my Samsung lcd tester right out the box. to be frank:
    buy this if- you need a living room pc.

    4.5/5
    This computer's meets my everyday functions as a mom. I use photoshop CS3 to edit my child's pictures and it runs very well editing 12mp image, plus the video editing too(use Premiere Element).

    I especially love the multimedia function of this computer(with TV tuner built-in). I can watch DVD, TV, listen to music and don't have to use mouse, and I LOVE the remote control and the TV & movie guide! It helps a lot when I am holding a baby.

    So far, so good, very smooth, no problem!

    We paid $650 at Fry's. (close out deal, brand new in the box, low price is b/c of HP had newer model came out.)

    Spectacular
    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 HD DVD without a problem. It also runs very hot, probably the small form factor. There are plenty of things that are nice about the system too. One of which is the video card which is the first one I've been able to scale to my 70" HDTV.

    This was a replacement for an aging Dell Dimension XPS R450 that I have had for 10 years.

    I looked at other compact PC's but I settled on the HP since it was the best price of any of the compact PC's I looked at. I settled on the following configuration: Model s3400z - AMD 4400 Dual Core X2 2.3 Ghz, 4 Gig DDR2-800Mhz Ram, 256M ATI RADEON HD 3450 DVI Video Card, Wireless LAN Card...etc

    Purchased from HP direct (Best price I could find and they included FREE Shipping).

    I would recommend this PC to anyone who needs a solid Personal and Work (Home Office) computer. It's small size (about 1/3 the size of my Dell) is great and it's built like a tank.

    A great all around home and home office pc.

    Mediocre
    1.0/5
    I sure do wish that I could get my $$ back and get a better computer... I'm out $800

    I have had this computer less than a year and have already had to send it BACK to HP THREE TIMES... they also informed me that when the warantee runs out, if it happens again that they will gladly take my money for the repairs. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL!

    Updated
    The motherboard has had to be replaced multiple times, the VNIDIA graphics on the MB are bogus, and fail constantly, and the TV tuner that is installed is not detected by windows. Vista is garbage, and so is this computer!!! I tried to get my money from HP and they refused even after I had to have it sent in for repairs three times... You are better off getting a computer from E-BAY!

    Mediocre
    1.0/5
    Right out of the box the computer seemed great. As soon as I updated software etc. as recommended, I started having problems with it hanging, not shutting down, not starting up. Programs can't find the DVD recorder.Type too fast and gibberish comes out. What gives?? I've been in contact with HP for 2 weeks and issues are still not resolved. Should a BRAND NEW computer have any issues at all??? . I hv aaas owned l compuuand hve NVR haad too Oh look! typed too fast!!! I have always purchased Dell computers for myself and family members. Never have I had the problems encountered with the HP. Obviously from the CNET and customer reviews there is a large discrepancy with the consistancy of this product. I will get my money back, this is unacceptable. Lesson learned!!
