HP Pavilion MS216D PC

HP's arguably one of the loyal vendors issued PC All-in-One (you know, the PC components are integrated with the screen). But there is one fact that came: the price is quite expensive.

For example HP Touchsmart IQ500 which was released last year and is the first HP AIO PC in Indonesia, worth about Rp. 20 jutaan.Karen a it, is a pleasant surprise when we had this HP Pavilion MS216D. The reason PC is priced at only U.S. $ 729, or about Rp. 6.5 million at the exchange rate of Rp. 9 thousand. We use the word "only" because the price is not just cheap for the size of the All-in-One HP, but also for the entire PC AIO on the market today. In our records, only BenQ i221 nScreen that could offer a price in the range of Rp. 6 millions.

There are several reasons why a PC is cheap. First, the screen is not touch screen like the Touchsmart IQ500. In addition, AMD Athlon X2 processor using L325 (1.5 GHz), an entry-level AMD processor that was originally intended to rival Intel's Atom. But that does not mean performance is to be taken lightly. This PC is not suitable for heavy applications like video encoding, but it was quite rushed when used for its computing standards. And if you view the test results, the PC is still faster than the BenQ nScreen i221.

This PC designs look nice with silvery curved backrest. Although the design looks fragile, it is sturdy enough back when we were pounding hard enough. Backrest can be adjusted its angle of about 35o, but not adjustable height.

HP also emphasizes ease of installation as the advantages of this PC, even he says you only need one cable (aka Power cable). But the claim is not entirely correct. Because the PC is not available Bluetooth facility, so that the mouse and the keyboard is still connected using USB.

Talk to the facility, the PC is actually quite complete. To connect to the network, available WiFi and Ethernet. As for the connection to another device, available 4 USB ports on the back side and 2 on the side. There is also a facility card reader that supports 5 types of memory cards, camera webcam, and DVD Writer.

The screen itself has a size of 18.5 inches with a resolution of 1366x768 pixels. When we try to play the video, the picture quality looks sharp and rich color. Even when we get even more brightness to the highest level, the screen can emulate a well-lit office space. We are also satisfied with the quality of the speakers that can produce a loud sound and has sufficient power in the bass. So if you intend to enjoy your favorite movies, this PC can serve it perfectly.
