Product Specifications

The Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition allows the HP Media Center PC user to enjoy digital entertainment - including live television with free electronic program guide, up to 90 hours of personal video recording (PVR), digital music, digital video, DVDs and pictures - in an easy-to-use, remote-controlled interface similar to the simple, point-and-choose menu screens found on today's DVD movies. Intended to be used with a PC monitor, the Intel-based HP Media Center PC also can connect to a TV for a large-screen viewing experience in spaces where consumers would want both a PC and entertainment solution - such as a den, game room, teenager's bedroom, dorm room or small apartment. The power and design of the HP Media Center PC makes photo editing and home movie creation convenient and fun.
