Reviews of the HP Pavilion Elite m9515y

    CNET Review

    March 4, 2009

    The Good: Blu-ray drive, Wi-Fi, and TV tuner make it a strong PC for digital media consumption.

    The Bad: Underpowered system performance; cluttered interior.

    The Bottom Line: The HP Pavilion Elite m9515y is not an elegant PC, but it has enough features where it counts to set it apart. If performance or seamless living room integration are your goals, look elsewhere, but anyone after digital media functionality will find this HP more capable than its competition.
