Great, basic desktop for light home use,
I bought this from Amazon for my technology-challenged mother-in-law and, for the price, am very happy with the purchase. She does three things on a computer: email (via AOL – yikes!), web and work in Microsoft Office. This computer handles all of these functions with ease and decent speed. The machine is quiet and fairly small (thus the “Slimline” name) so it can be tucked away on her computer desk. No complaints, although I didn’t realize until after purchasing that it does NOT come with wireless networking capability built-in. (Guess I’m spoiled after working with Macs all day). Not a big deal, but I did have to purchase an additional USB Wireless adapter to access a network. It does come preloaded with bloatware, but not overly so – I’ve seen worse. Stripped all of that down, installed Win7 updates and it was ready to go. Again, can’t beat the price. It’s not a speed-demon and she’s not going to be playing “Rage” on this thing anytime soon, but it will let my mother-in-law read her AOL emails, so I can’t complain.

|Great basic, compact, quiet, disposible computer.,
I needed to update my computers soon, and saw this one at Staples on sale this week for the same price as Amazon. The store display unit looks the same overall, but the back panel is not. The actual computer has several more in/out connections. I was especially interested in HP’s ad that this computer has multi-monitor “available”. Does this mean I can connect two monitors as is, or do I have to purchase a video card??? The display unit only had VGA, but the actual computer has both VGA and DVI. I was able to (using advanced settings) connect to two monitors and create an expanded desktop… just what I wanted, at a super low price. Yes, I was offered the usual extended warranty, etc. etc. To me, this is priced as a disposible item. My last HP Pavilion was twice as expensive, and now less than half as fast as this one. Buy this now if you want a good cheap computer, or wait 6 months and buy a better one at the same price!
Details some of you might want to know:
Has two DDR3 memory slots, one open, so you could upgrade and double the memory if you wanted.
Max. processor upgrade available is to a Core i7-2600 (about $300 today).
Has 5 various internal pci express slots, all available. (need compact size cards).
External case is about same height and depth as a “Mini” computer, but half as wide.
(It is same width as my old Pavilion, but 50% taller and deeper.)
Because of the larger size, inside is relatively spacious, with 3 fans running constantly, but very quiet.
Has two internal drive bays, none open for another drive.
Windows experience index is 4.3, limited by the integrated Graphics performance.
Processor=6.4, Memory=5.9, Gaming Graphics=5.7, Hard Disk=5.9
Has wired Gigabit ethernet, not wireless.
Has DVD+R DL Drive.
HP website says that HP recovery manager will not reinstall Windows 7. What???
Better make a backup image of the system drive, asap!!! (or as another user pointed out, use the recovery manager to make a one-time burn of Recovery DVD’s. Takes about 3-4 standard DVD’s, no DL’s allowed.)
And while you’re at it, remember to partition your drive so you can save your data on a different partition other than one shared with Windows 7. I’ve had every version of Windows crash on me, regardless of how stable others may say Windows 7 is.
Hope this was helpful for everyone!

|750 gb not 1000gb as listed ***BEWARE***,
HP Pavilion Slimline s5-1110 Desktop Computer – Black ****
WHEN BUYING TAKE NOTE— PRODUCT LISTED AS 1000 GB AND 750 GB IN SAME LISTING. I ORDERED THIS BELIEVING IT WAS 1000 GB. IT IS REALLY ONLY 750 GB. DO NOT EXPECT ANY HELP FROM AMAZON TO CORRECT THEIR MISTAKE. AT THE TIME OF THIS REVIEW (5 DAYS AFTER CONTACTING AMAZON) THEY HAVE NOT CORRECTED THE MISTAKE IN THE LISTING. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER AND FALSE ADVERTISING IN MY OPINION !!!HP Pavilion Slimline s5-1110 Desktop Computer – Black
