Summary: An Awesome Computer Ever At An Awesome Price!
Review: First of all, i think this the best computer for the price range (i bought for $1400). I havent had much trouble with anything at all, everything works fine (i have SuSe and XP running). As a amateur photographer, i really like the 4-1 card reader, it helps me out a lot. There are lots of USB ports, you get a firewall port in the front, making things a bit easier to reach.

Performace is just awesome with this computer. I can run multiple programs at once, and the computer doesnt slow down or freeze. Its also pretty good for gaming, but i think it needs a better graphics card.

The only complain i have about this is, HP didnt include any software/operating systems CD. This could be trouble for people who wants to reformat their hard drive.

Summary: Looks good but watch out...
Review: Nice design, that's about it. Not only is this desktop poorly designed but it also does not seem to like certain software/hardware combinations; coupled with the buggy windows XP pro, this machine will reboot frequently without warning...watch for HP spywares as well

Go check Dell or Sony first. I am returning mine.

Review: The a250n is a great computer for the enthusiast on a budget. I got mine from Best Buy (big mistake, try shopping elsewhere) or just get it here from amazon.com. I like the fact that is has an NVidia Graphics card instead of onboard graphics that takes away from your overall PC RAM. I definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a quick system and doesn't want to bother with the white box manufacturers that are scattered across the net. HP makes a decent product, and they are definitely better than the comparable systems you can buy at retail chains. Definitely consider the Pavilion a250n when shopping for you next PC with a Pentium 4 processor with HT technology.

Summary: prett good computer for the price.
Review: the Hp a250n is a pretty good computer. i got it after having a micron melenia max with the 1.2 athlon With Win ME on it . pretty sad. but this computer beats that by a mile
i upgraded my graphics card to a 128 meg radeon 9600xt and added another 512 megs of ram which was rather cheap for the pc 2700 i think it was like 80 bucks for the 2 2.6
It does come with a partitioned hard drive which for some people would really bother them but for me i figure if i ever find my way up to 100g of things in my HD ill either just install another one probably an 80 gig or something. either that or figure out how to unpartition it or just whipe it and reinstall windows off a bought Cd . dono if that would work with all there HP BIOS On there but theres always restore disks. one thing . when you buy this dont let them optimize it for you or make you a copy of the back up disks. or pay them to do your windows updates. its all very easy to do yourself and can save you some money . Dont let store people rip you off. because its all right there for you and easy to do . but anyways. this is a nice computer. espechially the price. i have had no troubles at all with it. i always run norton system works on all of my computers and it seems to help out a bit. I sapose scan disk can do the same but i have faith in norton.

Summary: An Awesome Computer Ever At An Awesome Price!
Review: This computer has all of the digital and home needs for music, games, software, photos, and movies. YOU CAN EVEN MAKE YOUR OWN DVDS! If you got all of this on Dell, you would be spending about $2,000 dollars. Well, do the math. Its ultra fast and you never have to worry about hard drive space being used up because you have so much of it. This is the way to go for anyone! TRUST ME, IT IS AWESOME!

Ok, you don't get Windows XP cd. But, you get a whole nothere drive, called the D:\ drive, which is for system recovery or re-formatting the hard drive. This system is for a family or an amateur photo and video maker. 5 Stars!

Summary: Great CPU for the price.
Review: This is a great computer... I needed a replacement for my old HP desktop and this computer really delivers. Fast, great for my resource hungry voice recognition software... multitasks like a dream. Would recommend this to anyone who wants a great computer ...
