Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Bring together the worlds of entertainment and information technology with the factory reconditioned HP Media Center m1080n desktop PC. This powerful digital entertainment hub enables you to watch and record your favorite TV programs, easily edit digital video, and create your own CDs and DVDs. It also offers a variety of HP multimedia features, including LightScribe direct disc labeling, Image Zone photo editing and management software, and HP camera dock holder. The m1270n features a gargantuan 250 GB hard drive, 512 MB of installed RAM, 3.2 GHz hyper-threaded Pentium 4 processor, and multiformat memory card reader. This model has been factory refurbished to perform as if it were new. It includes an HP 90-day warranty.
The ATI Radeon X300 SE is a strong performer, powerful enough to run one large virtual screen across two displays. It features 128 MB of dedicated video RAM, S-Video and the higher-fidelity DVI connections out, and PCI Express x16 support, which enables graphics to process faster. It also features the integrated Intel High Definition audio chip (Azalia), featuring THX certification and 8 channels for full Dolby 5.1/6.1/7.2 surround sound with Dolby Pro Logic IIx. The m1080n also features a PCI TV tuner card with personal video recorder (PVR) functionality and an FM tuner with antenna.
The Basics
- Hard Drive: The massive 250 GB Serial ATA hard drive (7200 RPM) offers a wealth of storage space, perfect for storing a vast multimedia collection or for editing digital video.
- Processor: The hyper-threaded Intel Pentium 4 540 processor (3.2 GHz) allows a single CPU system to behave in some aspects like a dual-CPU system, helping to deliver faster transistors and increased performance. It also features a 1 MB L2 cache and a blazingly fast 800 MHz front-side bus speed, which measures how fast a processor and the main memory communicate. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance.)
A Hyper-Threading processor helps a PC to run multiple demanding applications at the same time. This technology enables the processor to execute two threads (a part of a program) in parallel, boosting performance during key high-drain procedures. This results in more efficient software performance (such as faster reaction times in gaming applications) and enhanced multitasking.
- Memory: The 512 MB of installed RAM (PC2700) is a little underwhelming for this multimedia-centric desktop PC, so you'll want to take advantage of the ultra-roomy 4 GB of total RAM capacity (2 x 2 GB) for such multimedia needs as video editing and immersive 3D gaming.
- CD/DVD Drive: The combo DVD+/-RW and CD-RW drive is compatible with a wide variety disc formats, including DVD+, DVD-, VCD, and SVCD discs. For DVD-RW discs, it has a 4x write/rewrite speed, while for DVD+RW discs it has a 8x write/rewrite speed (DVDs are read at 5x). For CDs, it has a 24x write/10x rewrite/40x read speed. This desktop also comes with a second optical drive--a DVD-ROM for reading DVD and CD discs.
- Keyboard & Mouse: This desktop comes with an HP two-button, scrolling optical mouse and HP Media Center keyboard with full multimedia control. It also includes a remote control with IR (infrared) receiver.

Beware the seller.,

This review is from: Remanufactured Hewlett Packard Pavilion M1080N PC099AR Desktop PC (Pentium 4 Processor "3.2 GHz", 512 MB RAM, 250 GB HD, DVD RW) (Personal Computers)
I recently placed an order for this product. Two days later I recieved an email from Amazon stating that my money had been refunded, without any explanation of why. I contacted both Amazon and the seller asking for an explanation. Both companies wrote me back and said it was the other's fault. I re-ordered the product. More than a week later, I received and e-mail stating that this product couldn't be sent to an APO/FPO address due to it's weight. For those of you who don't know, and APO/FPO address is an overseas military address, but it works very much like an address in the United States, infact, it doesn't cost any more to ship to an APO/FPO as the military takes care of the overseas shipment. I have personally recieved packages weighing more than 75lbs, and it is therefore difficult for me to believe that the weight of this product was the problem. I wish that this company had simply stated it's shipping details in the begining, so I would have known not to waste my time. It was a very agrivating experience that I hope none of you have to deal with.
