HP Compaq dc7900

The dc7900 cruises in at a price of $919 (as of May 27, 2009, not counting its recommended $189 monitor, the HP L1945w). One of the cost-cutting measures it adopted to achieve that attractive price was to omit a discrete graphics card. Don't purchase...

Above average application performance

Difficult to upgrade

The dc7900 is a powerhouse machine that comes saddled with a number of caveats.

HP Compaq dc7900 Ultra-Slim

That said, the dc7900 is a good choice for a rapidly growing business. The smallest businesses can get away with using a PC without IT management features.. When you have more than a dozen employees, however, the IT-centric features of the dc7900...

Compact form factor. Energy efficient. VPro (including Intel VT and TXT technologies). DisplayPort. Easy to swap out components. Tool-less. Available in larger chassis as well. Standard three-year warranty

Uses more-expensive notebook-class optical drive. Gives up internal expansion for compactness. External power brick

It's a little bigger than a mini PC, but the HP Compaq dc7900 Ultra-Slim is a compact choice for your business. It's easy to service, reasonably powerful, and moderately priced.

HP Compaq dc7900

The HP Compaq dc7900 is a solid business offering in the premium desktop space, but the competition seems to be a small step ahead.

Fast, Quiet, Available with 64-bit Vista Business, vPro included, Expansion space

Slightly slower than equivalent machine from Dell, No DVI port, Not cheap, Small HDD

Review: Hewlett-Packard's Ultra-Slim DC7900

HP squeezes a desktop-class system, into an ultra-slim, small-form-factor chassis.

GCN LAB REVIEW: HP Compaq dc7900

The HP Compaq dc7900 is a small PC that would be a good choice for an office where desktop space is a consideration — and, really, who couldn't use a bit more room?

Small form factor, good access

Subpar performance, limited upgrade capacity

HP Compaq dc7900 Convertible MiniTower Business PC

Windows XP Pro and an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 sound good, but does the rest of HP's dc7900 hold up?
