HP Pavilion Media Center m7360n Review

- HP designed the Pavilion m7360n specifically for the beginning or intermediate multimedia enthusiast who wants a complete, easy-to-use Media Center PC: It comes with plenty of video and audio ports and hardware, but lacks good graphics and upgrade options.

    Strengths: The set up is so easy and it's user friendly to the extreme. It does most of the set up and atart up by itself, just plug it in. The documentation is simple and easy to understnd but almost unneccisary due to the self starting set up. Conectivity is almost un rivaled and its included software is extensive and for a multimedia student it is the perfect machine.

    Weaknesses: I'm a gamer and if I can't get better performance by upgrading to two better graphics cards (replace the nVidia 6200se and add another where the wireless lan card is) or a PPU and a better GPU then I'm going to get another machine and give theis one to my ten year old for whom this is perfect.

    Overall Evaluation: I'm considering returning it and gettng another or just buying another maching that gets better frame rates for gaming as this is not fast enough to really get into the features of the newer games. All in all it is well worth it's $999.00 purchace price, but barely
