I just love this iMac model for its huge 27-inch HD screen. Two other very notable features on this all-in-one model would have to be its 1TB hard drive and the RAM that can be upgrade it to 16GB.

A high-end Apple Mac desktop is know to last at least 6 years without the need for any upgrading. For that reason, I have decided to get one of these and I got the Apple Mac Pro MB871LL/A. Despite its set of powerful specs, the sales assistant at the store told me that it is much powerful than other windows based desktops with similar specs. I double checked this fact online and the tech gurus said it is true. They also said that it can be upgraded very easily.

I was a Windows desktop user so it took sometime for me to get use to the Apple keyboard, mouse and Mac OS. But after getting used to it, I now see why Apple computers are so popular. Besides being very stylish, the OS is actually much more user friendly than a Windows OS. Performing and running multiple applications on this desktop was also much more faster than any desktop that I have used. Another impressive thing was that it is...read more

I am someone who usually like to buy the most advanced computer possible so that it will last longer without the need to upgraded it myself later. Much to my delight, i came across the HP Pavilion P6140F, which is about one of the most powerful desktop in the market, and best of all, with a reasonable price tag. The combination of a 2.33Ghz quad processor 1TB or storage and 8GB of RAM is hard to resist! I foresee that i will be able to use this desktop for at least 4-6 years to come.

The only downside to his model is its rather limited graphics card, that won't be much of a problem anyway if you seldom use your PC for 3D gaming or graphics processing. Other than that. I had a really hard time looking for any serious flaws with this desktop model. The HP Pavilion P6140F came with a 64bit Windows Vista OS and thanks to its powerful specs, it was blazing fast. I suspect the speed of this desktop will be even more noticeable when I install Windows 7 later. Another great feature of this models it that...read more
