Amazon.com Product Description

The easy-to-use HP m7070n Media Center Photosmart PC is the complete home PC system that delivers more entertainment choices, and brings them together in one place with easy access from anywhere in the room. With the m7070n, you can watch, record, and pause live TV programming as well as schedule the PC to record upcoming episodes or entire series. It's powered by a blazing fast, hyper-threaded Pentium 4 processor and Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. It features a roomy 250 GB hard drive, 1 GB of installed RAM (4 GB maximum), a multiformat memory card reader, a multiformat, dual-layer DVD/CD burner and included Image Zone photo editing and management software.

The Basics

• Hard Drive: The massive 250 GB Serial ATA hard drive (7200 RPM) offers a wealth of storage space, perfect for storing a vast multimedia collection or for editing digital video.
• Processor: The hyper-threaded 3.2 GHz Intel Pentium 4 640 processor allows a single CPU system to behave in some aspects like a dual-CPU system, helping to deliver faster transistors and increased performance. It also features a large 2 MB L2 cache and a blazingly fast 800 MHz front-side bus speed, which measures how fast a processor and the main memory communicate. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance.)

  A Hyper-Threading processor helps a PC to run multiple demanding applications at the same time. This technology enables the processor to execute two threads (a part of a program) in parallel, boosting performance during key high-drain procedures. This results in more efficient software performance (such as faster reaction times in gaming applications) and enhanced multitasking.

• Memory: The 1 GB of installed RAM (PC3200) is a good start for this multimedia-centric desktop PC, so you'll want to take advantage of the ultra-roomy 4 GB of total RAM capacity (2 x 2 GB)for such multimedia needs as video editing and immersive 3D gaming.
• CD/DVD Drive: Offering the latest in DVD writing technology, the m7070n multiformat DVD/CD drive is compatible with both DVD+ and DVD- disc formats as well as dual-layer DVD+R discs, which can store up to 8.5 GB of data. It features16x DVD+R, 8x DVD-R, 4x DVD+/-RW, 2.4x DVD+R DL, 16x DVD-ROM, 40x CDR, 24x CD-RW, and 40x CD-ROM ROM speeds. It features the LightScribe direct disc labeling feature, which enables CD, DVD images and disk labels to be permanently etched onto discs--eliminating messy marker-scrawled labels. This desktop also has an additional 16x DVD-ROM drive.
• Keyboard & Mouse: This desktop comes with an HP multimedia keyboard and optical mouse (both PS/2).

Connectivity and Expansion Slots
The m7070n has three PCI expansion slots (all occupied), two external 5.25 drive bays (occupied), 1 internal 3.5 drive bay (occupied), one HP Personal Media Drive bay (available), three standard PCI slots, one PCI x16 Express slot (occupied), and the following external ports:

• 6 USB 2.0 ports (4 in rear, 3 in rear) for connecting a wide range of peripherals--from digital cameras to MP3 players
• 2 FireWire (also known as IEEE 1394 or i.Link; 1 front and 1 back) ports for connecting digital video camcorders and other peripherals
• 2 PS/2 ports for connecting keyboards and mice
• 1 VGA monitor port
• Composite video, S-Video, and audio inputs
• 9-in-1 media card reader on the front, compatible with CompactFlash (Type I and II), MicroDrive, SmartMedia, Memory Stick/Memory Stick Pro, MultiMedia Card, Secure Digital, and XD Picture Card

With the 250 GB hard drive, you'll be able to record and store up to 180 hours of video programming. It's compatible with cable, digital cable, satellite TV and antenna inputs, and it includes an FM tuner.

Nice eMachine
Intel Celeron D processor 335 (2.8 GHz)
256KB L2 Cache
533MHz FSB
256MB of PC2700 Dual Channel DDR SDRAM (expandable to 2GB)
Intel Extreme Graphics 2 with 64MB of shared DDR memory (memory is taken from the main system)
AC '97 Audio
80GB HDD
CD-RW/DVD-ROM Drive - (write speeds) up to 48x CD-R & 32x CD-RW
CD-RW/DVD-ROM Drive - (read speeds) up to 16x DVD-ROM & 48x CD-ROM
56k v.90 Fax Modem
Ports - 10/100 Ethernet, 6 USB 2.0 (2 front / 4 back), 1 VGA, 1 Serial, 1 Parallel, & 2 PS/2 (keyboard & mouse)
Slots - 3 PCI (2 available)
Bays - 4 3.5" (3 available) & 2 5.25" (1 available)

Ok, looking at those, unless you know a lot about computers, you probably have no clue what any of this means.

Intel Celeron D processor 335 (2.8 GHz)

A processor demands on speed and workness of programs. If you are a big gamer, the T3882 may not be very good for you. However, if you are using this to just surf the web, burn CDs, use Microsoft Word, etc., then this computer is perfect.

256KB L2 Cache

I honestly have no clue.

533MHz FSB

This is good. The processor speed is fast, so this should open a program in a matter of 3 seconds. This is excellent for impatient people.

256MB of PC2700 Dual Channel DDR SDRAM (expandable to 2GB)

I would expand the memory. This could make programs run slower if you are using more than 5 programs at a time, which could easily freeze your computer.

Intel Extreme Graphics 2 with 64MB of shared DDR memory (memory is taken from the main system)

This is probably the biggest positive of the computer. This means you have an excellent screen at all times. Games will look more real, and programs will look more stand-out.

AC '97 Audio

This is very good. The audio (using the supplied eMachines speakers) is very great sounding, featuring big bass and clear treble.

80GB HDD

This is excellent. For this, you can store thousands of files.

CD-RW/DVD-ROM Drive - (write speeds) up to 48x CD-R & 32x CD-RW
CD-RW/DVD-ROM Drive - (read speeds) up to 16x DVD-ROM & 48x CD-ROM

This is excellent. Though you cannot burn DVDs, you can watch them with PowerDVD (installed on all systems). You can make complications, and listen to music on the drive. All in all, if you enjoy entertainment, this computer is excellent.

56k v.90 Fax Modem

If you use a telephone line for your internet, you can use it on this computer.
Ports - 10/100 Ethernet, 6 USB 2.0 (2 front / 4 back), 1 VGA, 1 Serial, 1 Parallel, & 2 PS/2 (keyboard & mouse)

If you have a DSL or broadband connection, the T3882 has an ethernet cable line installed as well. The T3882 also features a mouse, and a multimedia keyboard (very nicely made keyboard, with easy access to Internet Explorer "the internet").
Slots - 3 PCI (2 available)
Bays - 4 3.5" (3 available) & 2 5.25" (1 available)

More connections for optional hardware.

Also, one moe thing, I purchased the bundle pack with the monitor included. The item at amazon.com is not the bundle pack, but the bundle (featuring the eView monitor) can be found at Best Buy and CompUSA. The monitor is very nice. Though it is a CRT monitor (with a big back), it is a flat screen monitor, which is great for games and movies.

Overall, the T3882 isn't the fastest computer, it is a very nice computer with tons of features anyone can enjoy. Recommended.

horrible
this IS the worse computer ever. I've had problems with this thing since day 1. Click on a file...yeah..be patient..only take about 5 minutes for it to pop up. and the damn thing freezes all the time..my shut down won't even work sometimes so i have to turn it off by hand,which can corrupt files (happened once..had to restart my whole computer) they say the Blaster worm is actually a worm but i think its just a glitch in the system cause i had it AGAIN after i restarted it, i've had troubles just to get on here and write this review because of all the annoying glitches and slowness of it. i dont even have 1/2 of my hard drive filled..ive checked for viruses, and i defraged and cleaned it up..so dont say its going slow becuz $hit on my computer..please steer away from this thing, go get a good brand..such as a sony..thats what im getting next a Vaio

thank you for reading this...just..please dont make the same mistake i did

bye-bye

Very bad service
I bought an e-machines computer 3 months back and have had all sorts of problems with this computer in 3 months. I have been very unhappy the way I have been dealt with. I just talked to a guy call Dustin (or Justin) who would not tell me his real name and said Dustin in the corporate office is all I need to know. He also said there is no one else I could speak to and he had no supervisor (It all ended at him is what he said). He was extremely arrogant and had no tact to talk to a customer who has been frustrated by a bad product.

Stay away from e-machines

bad service and low quality
I purchased a T2542 emachine® on 1 November 2003. The first computer had an Ethernet card that was defective out of the box. I called the technical service group at emachines. They recommended that I return this computer and get a new one - I did.

Approximately 3 weeks later, the power supply of the new computer stopped working. I called technical service again; they had a short (under 30 seconds) wait time. I was told that a new power supply could be sent and I could handle the repair (they said it was easy - they are probably right). Anyway, I was going out of town and said that I would request the part when I returned (I did). Four days later - no part.

So I called technical service again and they said that they didn't know why it didn't ship. They would put me on the top of the list but couldn't guarantee when or if a new part would be shipped in the next week. I asked to speak with a manager. Their management also told me that they have no control over distribution or shipping and I would have to just wait. When I asked to speak to the head manager, I was not allowed too. They gave me the corporate office number and said that was all they could do.

I have owned my emachine for 6 weeks and it has only worked for ½ of this time. This computer was inexpensive, but not worth the savings. The service and customer care is below standard and I question the ethics of the management organization. I would recommend that you do not purchase this computer.

My new Kickin' Computer
I've been waiting years to buy a new computer and finally bought this one over the weekend. It's a really good buy. However, if you buy it in an actual Circuit City, you will get $350 in rebates with the monitor and printer included. This ends up with a actual purchase price around $390.

The computer itself is fast, and easy to use. Note that because it does not have the absolute latest versions of Windows XP and Norton Antivirus, you MUST register your virus software FIRST and then download the blaster worm patches from Microsoft. My computer had been infected in the first hour of use. After all was downloaded though it was fine.

Check out the Big Fix feature eMachines offers. It's very helpful. ... Read more

Product Description

The Compaq Evo Thin Client T20 is a Windows-based terminal popularly referred to as a "thin client". A Windows-based terminal or thin client is a client device that connects over a network to a Windows NT Server running Windows 2000 or NT Terminal Server Edition or either of those operating systems with Citrix MetaFrame software running atop the server OS. This combination of client and server running a thin client solution is referred to as Thin Client Server Computing. But the thin client is just a part of that overall solution.A thin client Windows-based terminal only processes keyboard input and screen output, leaving all application processing and storage to the server. Compaq thin client solutions can allow companies to dramatically lower the costs associated with their client/server infrastructure. Unlike a traditional PC with high-speed processors and data storage, these terminals are optimized to act solely as "windows" to the server where users' applications and data reside. Instead of applications running on individual PCs, all applications are run from a single server, greatly simplifying the administration and support needed to run an IT department. While some knowledge workers truly need the processing power of a PC (such as engineers, designers, or financial analysts), many workers perform task-oriented, transactional functions (such as travel agents and call center operators), in environments that would be ideal for the Compaq Evo Thin Client T20. ...
