HP PAVILION 7177 - My Choice!
Price: Rs 75,990 + taxes
Take one stonkingly fast chip. Add megacapacity. Knock off some pesky wires and dose with generous amounts of sleekness. Then, shove in an OS that turns it into a TV. Whoa! Hewlett-Packard’s Pavilion 7177 harnesses the power of Windows XP Media Center Edition to make the PC your one-stop entertainment shop. Available only as an installation on this 3.06 GHz Pentium 4-powered premium desktop, Media Center integrates audio, still images and video into one squid-like multitasker. The specs are up there - 160 GB of hard disk space, half a gig of RAM, a Radeon X300SE graphics card, and a LightScribe dual layer DVD rewriter. There’s a bunch of ports for media memory cards, USB and the like, not to forget the cool LCD monitor, cordless keyboard and mouse. But the star has to be the software: while the concept of live TV with a tuner card is not exactly fresh-n-new, here you can pause the program, and resume it seamlessly after your widdle break or drink refill. (The trick, folks, is buffering, aided by that aforementioned cavernous hard disk.) Easy-to-use video editing suites and music managers round off a seriously accomplished package. HP plans to introduce Media Center on its lower-range Pavilions as well next week, so limber up that thumb and bid adieu to tolerating shrieky soaps, puerile commercials and inane remix videos.
