Compact case ; Good performance for an entry-level PC

No tool-less components ; Basic, no-frills design

A discrete graphics card helped boost this PC's WorldBench 6 score over that of the dc5750, but it upped the price, too.

Compact case, Good performance for an entry-level PC

No tool-less components, Basic, no-frills design

This entry-level system lacks many of the desirable features found in other HP models, and doesn't cost substantially less.

The HP Compaq dx2250's price doesn't differ substantially from the HP dc5750's if you configure them similarly. So unless you're intent on buying a computer with few options, you'll do better with a PC from HP's 5000 series or 7000 series, which offer...

I've bought many of these as biz workstations. Work great! Just uninstall the Norton and MS Office junk and you're good to go

Love this computer its great nothing wrong with it as far as I can see. I wanted a new desktop and looked to find one that I could afford and found this. Its a great computer and I would advise others to buy it

even though 1g of ram is good its much better with 2gs

I reviewed this previously. You know what? XP Home isn't that bad for this setup. If you don't need a CD burner, there's no need to purchase one, and CD burning programs can be found for free, if you know where to look. It's also a pretty good price...

There are still no bundled programs, which is a minus. Office 2007 is overrated - I'd go 2003, as it's still cheaper and more familiar. You'll have to upgrade to at least 512MB RAM (or simply add a 512 stick to your config)
