Amazon.com Product Description

The HP Pavilion a1210n comes loaded with the all tools you need to easily create, manage, share, and enjoy your digital photos, home videos, movies, and music. It features a wide range of connectivity options for all your peripherals and preloaded HP Image Zone Plus photo editing and management software. It comes loaded with 512 MB of RAM, which can be bumped up to 4 GB, as well as a roomy 200 GB hard drive. It also features an AMD Athlon 64 3500+ 2.2 GHz processor, LightScribe multi-format DVD/CD burner, a 9-in-1 memory card reader that's compatible with today's most popular digital camera formats, and a wide assortment of pre-loaded software.

The Basics
<ul>

Hard Drive: The large 200 GB Ultra DMA hard drive (7200 RPM) offers a wealth of storage space, perfect for storing a vast multimedia collection or for editing digital video.

Processor: AMD's Athlon 64 3500+ processor is built for tomorrow's 64-bit applications, which will require a processor with significant power. This 2.2 GHz processor offers a system bus with speeds up to a blazing 2200 MHz and 512 KB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance.) It includes such AMD features as HyperTransport Technology (which increases the communication between integrated circuits) and Cool'n'Quiet Technology that conserves power while also keeping the PC nicely quiet.

Memory: The 512 MB of installed RAM (PC-3200) is fine for basic multimedia such as managing digital photos and audio, but you'll want to take advantage of the ultra-roomy 4 GB of total RAM capacity (4 x 1 GB) for such multimedia needs as video editing and immersive 3D gaming.

CD/DVD Drive: Offering the latest in DVD writing technology, this multiformat DVD/CD drive is compatible with both DVD+ and DVD- disc formats as well as dual-layer (DL) DVD+R discs, which can store up to 8.5 GB of data. It features 4x DVD-R DL Write Once, 2.4x DVD+R DL Write Once, 16x DVD+R, 8x DVD-R, 4x DVD+RW, 4x DVD-RW, 16x DVD-ROM, 40x CD-R, 24x CD-RW, and 40x CD-ROM speeds.

Keyboard & Mouse: This desktop comes with an HP Internet keyboard and scroller mouse (both with PS/2 connections). </ul> Screen, Graphics and Sound
Video is powered by the ATI Radeon XPress 200M IGP video/graphics card, which delivers good, though not high-end, 3D graphics and is designed to integrate with AMD's Athlon 64 processors. It delivers up to 256 MB of video RAM shared with the system RAM. ATI's HyperMemory technology allows the chipset to run in either Unified Memory Architecture (UMA) mode or with dedicated frame buffer memory to enhance graphics performance. It's the first chipset with a graphics processor that let you play the latest game titles on DirectX 9 and OpenGL technology. It also features an integrated audio card and headphone, microphone, and line-in jacks.

Connectivity and Expansion Slots
For expansion, the a1210n has two 5.25-inch external bays (one available), two external 3.5-inch bays (one available), one internal 3.5-inch bay (occupied), three PCI slots (two available), and one PCI Express slot (available). It comes with the following external connectors: <ul>

7 USB 2.0 ports (3 in front, 4 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) port for connecting digital video camcorders and other peripherals (1 front, 1 back)

1 parallel port for connecting older printers and scanners

2 PS/2 ports for connecting keyboards and mice

1 VGA monitor port

1 microphone, 1 headphone

1 line-out, and 1 line-in jack

Preloaded System and Software
The pre-installed Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 (with Service Pack 2) is essentially Windows XP Professional Edition with a variety of tools to help you to create, organize, and enjoy digital media ranging from music to home movies to photo slide shows. Additionally, it enables you to control your television with the included remote and record and pause programs (much like a DVR--or digital video recorder--such as Tivo or ReplayTV). It's compatible with cable, digital cable, satellite TV and antenna inputs, and it includes an FM tuner.

It also comes preloaded with Microsoft Works (for working with word processing and spreadsheet documents), Symantec Norton Internet Security 2005 (with 60 days of LiveUpdate), Encarta Encyclopedia 2005, Quicken New User Edition 2005, Microsoft Money 2005, RecordNow, WinDVD Player, Sonic DigitalMedia Plus, muvee AutoProducer, iTunes, and PC Doctor.

The included HP Image Zone Plus photo and imaging software makes it easy to organize, edit, share, print, protect, and store your photos and video clips. Organize and find your photos easily by timeline, keywords, and/or location using the unique photo-globe mapping tool. Remove red eye and fix other common problems. Share your photos quickly via e-mails that include thumbnails with links to the full-sized images--without downloading time-consuming attachments.

Poor customer service!.......2006-09-10

Computer is inadequate,and customer service is extremely poor!!! After spending hours (at least 3)and multiple calls,taking my computer apart with tech assistance over the phone, requesting a postage paid box to send computer back to be repaired, my issues have NOT been resolved. Warranty is still in place, and 2 nights ago, I was on hold for 2 hours in order speak to a supervisor and then they disconnected me. I won't buy an HP again...

A great PC.......2006-09-06

I got this as a christmas present in 2005. It is a great computer. Fast and very smooth. Even comes with a 256meg video card. One thing I would suggest is adding more RAM to it. 512 just is not enough for what I want to do with it though. So I plan on getting it up to 2 gigs of DDR ram soon :) It is a great computer. I suggest you get it. You get a lot of bang for your buck.

Another junk of a desktop.......2006-08-01

I bought the HP a1210n Pavilion last November 2005. I had researched the web, read great reviews at Circuit City's site, and figured I couldn't go wrong. WRONG! Here it is 9 months later and the thing won't boot up, and the recovery disks are useless. I only get to a blue screen called HP Invent. It goes no further. I wish HP WOULD Invent a good desktop. Buyer beware. Just another junk of a desktop.
