HP Pavilion Slimline s3400z Desktop PC

Genuine Windows Vista with Service Pack 1
Get things done, stay connected, and enjoy entertainment in a secure environment with Windows Vista Basic. This cool operating system even has parental controls and enhanced search tools. For enhanced entertainment, choose Vista Home Premium, which includes Windows Aero, Windows Media Center, and instant search functionality. Upgrade to genuine Windows Vista Ultimate on your Pavilion Slimline PC and you'll notice the difference in the new look, instant search, built-in Windows Media Center, and automated security features. You'll be able to create family photo albums and home videos, listen to music, automatically record TV shows and movies onto your PC, and explore games.

Compact and versatile
Just a third the size of a traditional HP tower PC, the Slimline fits almost anywhere. It's perfect in the kitchen or a spare bedroom for looking up recipes, chatting online, paying bills, and reading the news.

Good things, small package
The petite Slimline s3400z packs all the functionality of a full-sized PC: plenty of memory, a fast processor, and lots of hard drive space. The s3400z also includes up to six USB ports (two in front, four in back). It even has a 15-in-1 digital media card reader, so you can quickly transfer videos, photos, and music directly to your PC.

Heavy-duty processing power
Our Slimline s3400z PCs offer powerful Athlon 64 X2 dual-core processors for multitasking and entertainment. For energy efficient computing, choose the AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual-core processor BE2400 with Cool'n'Quiet technology, which features CPU speed throttling and power saving.

Design-your-own disc labels
The included DVD writer with our innovative LightScribe technology1 lets you burn precise, professional-looking labels straight from your PC onto LightScribe-enabled media. After burning a disc, you just flip it and reinsert in the same drive for labeling; there's no need to print, align, or adhere a sticker.

High-quality software
We test and qualify all software sold with our PCs to help ensure that you have a trouble-free experience with your new computer. Our software prices are also competitive: they're equal to—and often lower than—prices you'll commonly find in stores and online.

Features for kids
The s3400z can be customized with EasyBits Magic Desktop software, designed for kids ages 2–10. It functions as an operating system on Windows-based PCs, and it's both child-proof and child-friendly. You control which programs your kids can access, as well as when and how. EasyBits also has a kid-friendly e-mail program, as well as an Internet browser that you can monitor. EasyBits is protected against spam and viruses, too.

PC protection
The Pavilion s3400z can be customized with a 15-month subscription to Norton Internet Security 2008 software; you can upgrade to 36 months of protection from viruses, worms, and other malicious programs.

Pocket storage
The optional HP Pocket Media Drive lets you store, share, and transport music, videos, photos, and documents. It docks in its own built-in bay on all HP Pavilion Slimline models, or you can use it via a standard USB connection. There's no separate power supply, so it's quiet and cool.
