This computer is awesome! This computer is unbelievably fast. Because of Hyper Threading technology, XP thinks this computer has 2 processors. When you go to Windows Task Manager and look at the performance screen you see two processor boxes, very cool. It also has everything most people would need or want... 160GB, 7200rpm hard drive, DVD+R/RW drive that burns DVDs and CDs. It has a second CD-ROM drive to use for copying directly to the burner. It has a front panel 7 in 1 memory card reader, high speed video card with TV out, 2 firewire (1394) ports, 6 USB 2.0 ports, HP Image Zone, Director and Memories Disk creator software. It supports 5.1 audio. It also includes software to burn CDs and DVDs. Other than a better keyboard and mouse, there is not much you would need to add to this computer. Take a high grade look at the 350n, I don't think you will be disappointed.

I recently upgraded from HP Pavilion w/ Celeron to HP Pavilion a350n w/P4 Hyper Threading and all I can say is....WOW!! This computer is super fast, and has all the latest features you could ask for. DVD+RW/CD-RW, front access usb ports, good tech specs, etc, etc, etc...In a word it is very "current." I have broadband internet and whoah..this is awesomely fast. I love it and it's my new "baby!" It's my first REAL computer! It is too new for me to have any complaints yet, however, I think I have grown attached enough that I will be able to get over any let downs, if any, pretty easily. Ultimately, I chose this HP Pavilion a350n over the HP M series(media center) and Sony Vaio RS420 due to price, but I don't belive I have sacrificed much more than more expense, ALTHOUGH, I am aware of how much more HP M's offer. I would've been just as satified (if not more),I think, but the HP M's are just too expensive for me, and like all electronics, have a tendency to break down. tacvba@comcast.net

My employer (a small software company) just bought these for all the developers (including myself). They're barely faster than the Athlon XP 2000+ workstations they replaced. HP cut several corners with this model:
- There are no available internal or external drive bays- The power supply is only 250W- They skimp on the RAM, using DDR333 instead of DDR400 despite the 800FSB processor- The hard drive is mounted in a bizarre plastic vertical bracket which isn't very secure and tends to vibrate- There are no CDs included with the system (except one Microsoft Works disc). There are no restore CDs, let alone Windows install discs (but my Pavilion ze4240 notebook I bought a year ago came with both--shame on HP for backing down on that).
Since the systems shipped with XP Home and we need Pro, we reformatted the hard drives. And now we have no way of installing the DVD burning software that came with the systems. HP wants $9 for an HP RecordNow install disc.
