The HP Pavilion Slimline s7510n’s compact small desktop with a $500 price tag, it comes with Windows XP Media 9-in-1 media card reader, Dual-layer DVD writer with LightScribe label burning. The Celeron-M is a little slow for really strenuous multimedia tasks but ideal if your doing office work or just surfing the Internet.
As I said already the 1.6-GHz Intel Celeron-M 380 processor is ideal for basic tasks but if you plan to use this for digital photos or videos it may not be powerful for these tasks.
The PC also has 512MB of system memory, ok for basic tasks, though some of it is used by the onboard Intel GMA 900 graphics.
With a 200GB hard drive, the s7510n is also a lot quieter than the pricier Gateway DX210S mini tower. The smaller, entry-level Mac mini is also a bit more expensive (by $79) and comes with a faster dual-core processor, iLife software, Front Row with Apple Remote, and built-in 802.11g Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. But those features are balanced by a less-capable DVD/CD-RW combo drive and a much smaller (60GB) hard drive.
The HP Pavilion Slimline s7510n is certainly a system that goes back to basics. It will best suit those who don’t need high-end computing power to manipulate multimedia files such as photos and videos and want an inexpensive, stylish PC to enjoy the diversions on the Internet passively—in other words, the majority of users.
