HP Elite E9150T Deskop PC (Refurbished)

March 212010

Looking at the E9150T I got to go in place of my older HP D4995T desktop PC. This uses Intel’s latest line of processors, the i7. In particular the i7-920. Also includes 12GB of DDR3 memory, an ATI Radeon HD 4650, 802.11n wifi and bluetooth, A DVD+/-RW with Lightscribe and secondary DVD-ROM optical drives, and a 1TB Seagate HDD. The operating system is WIndows Vista Ultimate x64 with the option of a WIndows 7 upgrade.

This machine maxes out the VIsta scores with 5.9 all across the board.

I read shortly after buying this waiting for it to arrive about all the problems with the E9150T and E9180T. I’m fortunate not to have gotten a lemon with this one as it has not presented any of the lockups, freezes, or BSODs that have plagued owners.
