HP Pavilion Slimline s3020n review: HP Pavilion Slimline s3020n

HP Pavilion Slimline s3020n

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

Desktop cluttered with shovelware icons; virtually nonexistent gaming performance.

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.

HP Pavilion Slimline s3020n PC

The HP Pavilion Slimline s3020n ($580 direct) is the first in HP's new breed of Vista-equipped compact PCs, and it adds both styling and strength to an already successful design. HP has improved its innards over last year's sub-$600 slimline PCs. It...

Reasonable price for a dual-core PC. Compact. Quiet. HP Pocket Media Drive bay for data transport or additional storage. PCIe x16 slot in a compact PC. Wireless 802.11b/g networking

Could use 2GB of RAM because of shared system memory. Ball mouse

The next generation of Slimline PCs improves on the original with Vista Home Premium and the addition of a Pocket Media Drive bay. The HP Pavilion Slimline s3020n PC is one of the systems you should recommend to friends who want a new PC.

Most Reliable Computer ”

I have had the best luck with my HP computer, no hackers, and no crashings, i think it might be because of the built in security center that was already instaled when i bought it. Hope everyone has as much luck with it as i have

Great

Love my pavilion slimline. It fits perfectly on my desk without taking up too much room. I do not like the operating system that came with the computer (Vista). I have used XP which I though was great. Would like to try windows 7 but cannot afford it.
