HP Pavilion A1740n

This desktop PC is powerful enough configuration to run Windows Vista reliably; strong support package.

You can find systems from both HP and other vendors with more bang for your buck; Pocket Media Drive slot blocks standard (and more economical) hard drive bay.

HP's lower midrange (or is it upper budget?) Pavilion a1740n desktop will run Windows Vista well enough, but too many other PCs have stronger core hardware for the money. Between that issue and the overall feeling that this system is trying to sell you...
