Computer Deal of the Week

Sunday September 7, 2008

Most consumers seem to be more interested in laptop computers these days for their portability. The problem is they lack the performance of desktop systems especially for tasks such as video editing and transcoding. Desktops can also be more affordable than a laptop computer. Take for instance the HP Pavilion a6554f desktop for $550 at OfficeMax. This system packs a Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 quad core processor, 4GB of PC2-6400 DDR2 memory, 640GB hard drive, dual layer DVD burner with LightScribe, 15-in-1 card reader and the 64-bit version of Windows Vista Home Premium.
