Reviews of the HP Pavilion P6230y

CNET Review
The Good: Ample room for expansion; decent performance results.
The Bad: Other, faster PCs cost less.
The Bottom Line: The HP Pavilion P6230y yields decent scores, but we have a hard time recommending a system that comes at a higher cost and with a slower performance rating than competing systems. This system has a few uncommon features for its price, but nothing that makes up for its overall poor bang for the buck.
