Quantex QP6/400 M-1c

  

Quantex QP6/400 M-1c


SUMMARY



PRO: Fast and very well appointed for a budget PC
CON: None major


PC hunters looking for a budget small-office/home-office system will be hard-pressed to do better than Quantex's new Celeron-400 PC. The $1499 midsize tower is fast and bears features commonly found on much higher-priced systems. The QP6/400 M1-c's PC WorldBench score of 198 means that only a handful of PCs on the chart run productivity apps faster--and most of those systems cost hundreds of dollars more.

The controls on the spacious Quantex XP190N 19-inch monitor are intuitive and easy to use. The unstinting software bundle includes Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 and reference titles such as Compton's World Atlas and American Heritage Talking Dictionary. The system also comes with an Iomega Zip drive and a 4.8X DVD-ROM drive with software decoder.

If you need to call tech support for help, Quantex's support policies are fairly standard. You can reach technicians 24 hours a day, and the company backs its system with a three-year parts and one-year labor warranty. An easy-to-follow system manual and a foldout illustrated setup guide accompany the QP6/400 M-1c. Respondents in our latest Reliability and Service survey gave Quantex's home PCs good ratings in both of these categories.
