Reviews of the HP Pavilion Slimline s5220y

CNET Review
The Good: Decent light-duty performance, compact size.
The Bad: Slim tower case conserves space but offers little room for expansion; limited connectivity options.
The Bottom Line: The HP Pavilion Slimline s5220y provides adequate performance for light-duty media editing and entertainment, but its slim tower case leaves little room for future upgrades, leading us to recommend the older Gateway SX2800-01 that offers more features and better components.
