HP Vectra VLi8 MT PIII-550

HP Vectra VLi8 MT PIII-550

WHAT'S HOT: The strictly-business Vectra VLi8 MT PIII-550 ships with many of the essentials you'll need in a networked corporate environment. At $2107, it's one of the most affordable systems on the power chart. This strong performer's case opens via a latching hinge (à la Apple's Power Macintosh G3), and PCI slots reside on a one-piece locker that slides out of the case. Our readers rated the reliability of HP's desktop PCs as Good in our latest survey.

WHAT'S NOT: The company offers free tech support only for the first year, and no tech support on weekends. The integrated audio and video chips included with the PC will suffice for typical business applications, but more demanding apps may require more AV power.

WHAT ELSE: Dedicated buttons on the keyboard allow you to launch applications or adjust sound volume.

BEST USE: Hewlett-Packard's business-oriented PC works well in networked environments where IS departments must repair and upgrade a legion of machines quickly.
