IBM PC 300PL

The well-crafted IBM PC 300PL combines above-average performance for its class with excellent networking features, making it a welcome addition to any business. If only it had a more competitive price--at $2798, you're paying a lot of green for Big Blue.

This swift Win 95based PC boasts a PC WorldBench score of 207 and a raft of cool features. From Wake on LAN and remote configuration capability, to a chassis intrusion system and thermal monitor that protect against tampering and overheating, the PC 300PL offers unmatched management talents. An IBM 10/100 Etherjet PCI card lets you plug immediately into an ethernet network.

Inside, you'll find an easy-out motherboard and flip-up power supply, but the interior itself is cramped.

IBM didn't compromise on features, either. These include a 9.1GB hard disk and 12X32X CD-ROM drive. The 17-inch IBM monitor showcases a sharp display and intuitive controls.

IBM produces top-notch documentation. The company also offers extensive support, including toll-free technical support available around the clock, and a three-year warranty on parts (one year on labor).

SUMMARY

PRO: Extensive management features, sharp monitor, excellent performance
CON: Limited expandability, relatively expensive
