Reviews of the PowerSpec 7501 - Core 2 Duo E6300 1.86 GHz

  • 7.3

    CNET Review

    December 21, 2006

    The Good: Vista-friendly core configuration; large 320GB hard drive; Windows Media Center operating system qualifies for free upgrade to Windows Vista Home Premium.

    The Bad: Paying the $899 price tag requires jumping through a mail-in rebate hoop; competing systems are more attractive and more powerful.

    The Bottom Line: If you're simply looking for a basic PC that will run Windows Vista, the PowerSpec 7501 is a good choice, both for its current configuration and for its upgradeability. But this is not exactly the most attractive PC we've ever seen, and we're not fans of mail-in rebate programs. For folks willing to take those lumps, you can find a good deal here.
