It has a quad-core CPU, it's stylish, it has a media card reader, it has FireWire, it ships with Windows Vista Ultimate edition

It wasn't a quick performer in our tests, it could use a bigger hard drive and more RAM

Overall, this is a well-equipped family PC that's perfect for storing photos, home videos and music. We wish its hard drive was a little bigger, and we also wish it had 2GB of RAM, but it's still more than capable of handling everyday multimedia tasks...

Great bang for the buck. HP Pocket Media Drive Bay. 3GB system memory. Good performance

Ball mouse. Bloatware. Only 60-day Internet Security subscription

The HP Pavilion a6130n is a mainstream system with enough features to keep a serious multimedia hobby going. Digital photos, movies, and music are all within reach.

Pretty solid features for the money. 2 GB of DDR2-667 memory with an ASUS 6150 MOBO are a nice plus. Large 320 GB hard drive included. After installing a video and sound card in mine it tested 97% to the average of the CPU in PCPitstop.com's full test...

Very substandard 250W PSU for a system this fast. I wouldn't have expected one, but also no 6 pin cable for powering a high end video card. As has been mentioned by other reviewers while possible to upgrade the PSU, it would most likely be beyond the...

Looks great, quiet, a lot for the money. Waiting for my second new power supply (Cooler Master RP-500 had a grinder for a fan, trying Thermaltake this time) to use with this computer plus an 8500GT video card. Vista graphics rating went from a 3.0 with...

HP, how could you put such a whimpy power supply with your computers?!?!?!?!? The average HP buyer probably would not (want to, and or know how to) change a power supply to upgrade the video card

Nice setup Vista picked up my wireless Dsl connection. My current printer Lexmark E-210 is not supported or my Vpn agent. No fault of the unit though should have run the Vista advisor ahead of the purchase. The unit came out of the box in a plug and...

One of the USB connection on the rear panel had a bent piece of metal that had disabled all USB connectors. Makes me think it may have been a returned item I had bought which should have been new. After fixing this issue with a small screw driver the...
