Information about HP Pavilion SlimLine S3330f

By: Corwin Brown

A slim PC destined to handle both of the major high-definition movie formats? Say it ain't so! Turns out, HP is indeed doling out such a machine, and it's so eloquently dubbed the Pavilion Slimline s3330f PC. Here's a look at what this mighty mini-tower will be packin':
2.8GHz AMD Athlon 64 X2 processor
2GB of DDR2 RAM
500GB 7,200 RPM SATA drive
HP Pocket Media Drive Bay
Single LightScribe-enabled optical drive that reads Blu-ray / HD DVD and writes to dual-layer DVDs
NVIDIA's 256MB GeForce 8500 GT
802.11b/g WiFi
Built-in NTSC / ATSC TV tuners
Front-mounted 15-in-1 multicard reader

HP's Pavilion SlimLine series has done well here at CNET recently, despite a rocky start in 2005. The last three versions, however, have been Editors' Choice winners. The S3330f continues the trend. On the surface, this PC stands out for the fact that it costs less than $1,000 and comes with a Blu-ray/HD-DVD combination optical drive. For those reasons alone, it might be worth purchasing for some of you.

Of course, HP's love of crapware icons is alive and well for this system. We count six icons on the Windows desktop hawking some kind of service or product. That said, HP's TotalCare software suite is actually useful in the way it points out system information and leads you to other help resources. For other support, you get a one year parts and labor warranty with the Pavilion Slimline S3330f as well as 24-7 toll-free phone support. You can also go online for system-specific downloads and other kinds of support.

The Pavilion Slimline s3330f looks already destined to be a success - mainly because of the inclusion of a dual-playing Blu-Ray / HD DVD drive that also utilises LightScribe labelling technology, and writes to dual-layer DVDs. That's a lot for a single disc drive to pack, but the s3330f manages to throw it all in
