HP Pavilion Slimline s5-1400t

 

Overall, the HP Pavilion Slimline s5-1400t is a good computer. We have a few complaints, like the lack of a wireless adapter or a Blu-ray player. But the great thing about home computers is that it is easy to customize and upgrade the tower, so long as...

Product arrived well packed. Setup was easy and performance is very good. My only (weak) complaint is that the integrated video only registers 4.2 on the performance scale. Other performance grades are satisfactory for a 64 bit machine.

Have only had it a week and so far it seems to be working OK. In some ways it is sluggish to respond, but, thus far, over all it works satisfactorily.

I purchased this desktop late December 2011. The integrated video card failed in March 2012. It cost me $50 to have an HP technician come out and replace the motherboard because the video card is integrated into it. The video card has failed again, as...

This little PC packs a punch for the money you are putting into it. AMD is not the red headed step child it once was compared to Intel, however I will admit I would have rather had an i5 or i7 with the new ivy bridge but none the less this pc works...
