Price Range $75.95 - $403.0
Duration of ownership:1 Months
Strengths: Speed, user friendly, backups, media center, very fast start up / shut down, features for business and home, 64 bit capability.
Weaknesses: Had to do some tweaking at first to get it to run correctly, there were some issues with 64 bit software unavailable for some hardware ... now that it is fine tuned, very reliable. Not everyone will want to do the work involved to figure out what is causing the instabilities to fix the problems and make their system stable, I spent several days of being up until 1am with many blue screens of problems to do it. Before fine tuning, was very unstable. This is why only 4 stars ... should not have to tweek so much to get reliable system on a freshly built system with all new "vista compatible" system. Even items that were vista compatible did not always have correct software, some were not compatible with 64 bit version.
Overall Evaluation: Now that we have it all tweeked, we love it, and we do not have any problems with it, very stable. It's a lot of fun and with the 64 bit, I can use all of my installed RAM, it's screamin fast! It was worth all of the tweaking to get here ... but might not be worth the work for some.
