IBM PC 300PL
IBM PC 300PL
WHAT'S HOT: At $2081, the IBM PC 300PL carries the lowest price of any system on the power chart. Its 13GB hard drive and Iomega Zip 100 drive provide plenty of storage space, though not as much as some other power PCs offer. IBM bundles its own ViaVoice dictation software and Lotus SmartSuite with the system.
WHAT'S NOT: We had varying degrees of success reaching reps during our anonymous tech support calls. When we got through, technicians were generally knowledgeable, but they sometimes seemed rather impatient.
WHAT ELSE: This midsize tower includes a built-in ethernet connection, and it has two open bays and five open expansion slots. The system's PC WorldBench 98 score of 232 matches the average for PIII-500 machines running Windows 98.
BEST USE: The PC 300PL would work well as a presentation PC or multimedia development system for business users in a networked office.
