Announcing all the power of a traditional PC . . . in one-third the size! The new HP Pavilion s7210n Slimline sports a fast processor with plenty of memory and hard drive space, plus a 9-in-1 digital media card reader for transferring photos, videos, and music. Yet it’s so sleek and compact that it’s ideal for family rooms, kids’spaces, and cramped home offices/guest bedrooms. Put it in the kitchen for quick recipe lookup and checking the news while eating breakfast or making dinner. It’s compact, powerful, and reliable , it’s compatible with your home.

HP’s innovative Pavilion s7210n Slimline PC ($499 direct, without monitor) is one of those systems that you stare at for a moment, then say “awww, that’s cute.” It evokes the same emotional response as the Mac mini. The s7210n Slimline is perfect as a desktop PC for the bedroom or the space-constrained apartment dweller. It can serve equally well as a home server or as a new computer for someone who needs a Web-surfing station that can also handle day-to-day computing tasks.

It’s no secret that small cases please the crowd, and frankly, it’s about time that a major Windows-based computer vendor got onboard. The HP Pavilion s7200n series comes in a case that measures 9.7 inches high, 4.4 inches wide, and 13.1 inches deep, which is small enough to fit pretty much anywhere.

The s7210n’s strength is its small size: It is a bit larger than the Mac mini, but it also has some expandability that the mini doesn’t have. There are more USB ports (five vs. two), and the s7210n has a 7-in-1 (SD, MMC, MS/Pro, SM, XD, CompactFlash I/II, and MicroDrive) digital media card reader, which is very handy, especially for families with more than one digital camera. It also has digital audio out and analog audio out for surround sound (the mini only has stereo out).

The HP Pavilion s7220n Slimline ships with an Internet keyboard, which features Web buttons and media controls, as well as dual eject buttons when the computer includes only one optical drive. The eject command is a nice thing to have at your fingertips, although in this case, the operation takes a while, leading the user to press the button several times in frustration. This causes a backlog of commands, and the drive continues to open and close until all the commands are executed. It’s annoying. Equally annoying is the bundled PS/2 rollerball mouse; we expect an optical mouse with even the cheapest PCs these days. The PS/2 peripherals allow you to keep all five USB 2.0 ports free (four back, one front).
