The strictly business Vectra VLi8 MT ships with many of the essentials you'd need in a networked, corporate environment. It's a strong performer that features a slim desktop footprint, and it has a case that opens via a latching hinge, like the Apple Power Macintosh G3. Integrated audio and video chips suffice for straight business applications and keep the minimal interior space free of expansion cards. Special buttons on the keyboard allow you to launch applications or adjust the sound volume. HP seems to compromise on design due to space limitations, though: You'll need a short screwdriver and serious hand-eye coordination to insert a card into one of the upside-down PCI slots. The other big downside: Our readers rate the reliability of HP's desktop PCs as merely fair in our latest surveys.
