expandability.

A good choice for a PC newbie or as a second
or third (or fourth) computer, provided you want to sign up with AOL.

includes monitor and Lexmark ink jet printer. The downside is that
it only has a CD-RW drive only.

has a lot of appeal for entry-level users: price, decent performance, and
the HP/Compaq brand name. The tech-savvy tinkerer will like the
expandability and future-proofing technologies.
