Description:
As the mid-level member of HP's new Media Center m200 series of personal computers, the powerful Pavilion m270n Media Center Desktop PC offers multimedia friendliness, a truly potent set of subwoofer-enhanced speakers and a nifty remote control. If you spend a good deal of your computing time playing and are captivated by the audio-video potential of modern desktops, you've come to the right place. Driving the Pavilion m270n is a fast 2.8 GHz Intel Pentium 4 processor with Hyper-Threading technology (Intel's new process whereby single CPU systems mimic dual-CPU systems -- thus boosting performance during high-drain procedures such as multitasking). HP has added 512 MB DDR SDRAM (expandable to 1 full gigabyte) and a 128 MB nVidia GeForce FX 5200 AGP 8X graphics card with TV and DVI capabilities. With a setup like this, the sky is the limit. Whether you're into state-of-the-art gaming, television broadcast recording or 3-D animation, it's possible with the Pavilion m270n. With the enclosed multifunction wireless remote, you can even kick back in your easy chair while controlling the proceedings. The Pavilion m270n delivers an impressive array of data handling facilities, including an enormous 160 GB hard disk and two optical drives – a 16-speed DVD drive for playing DVD movies and CDs, and a DVD+RW/CD-RW combo drive through which you can listen to and burn audio discs, create home movie DVDs and backup your files. To upload and download information from external devices such as digital camcorders and digital cameras, the system also features six fast USB 2.0 ports (two on the front), two FireWire interfaces (one front, one rear), and a 6-in-1 media card reader. Other key amenities include a top of the line Media Center keyboard with multimedia hotkeys, a hassle-free USB optical scroller mouse (no moving mechanical parts), a 5.1 surround sound audio chipset, and Personal Video Recording functionality for direct capture of television broadcasts. To keep you in touch, the unit also features a low-speed 56K modem and high-speed 10/100Base-T networking. HP has not included a display monitor, although it has enclosed one of the most powerful multimedia speaker sets on the market, the wall-shaking Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 satellite/subwoofer system.
