Cracking open the box you will see that there is not much room to expand. There is an open PCIe x1 (the other is occupied by a TV tuner), and there are two open SATA ports for connecting a second optical or hard drive. But since the system has a TB 1.5, 5400 RPM hard drive, it is unlikely that you need more storage space soon. It should be noted that most of the desktop in this category and price range comes with a faster 7200 rpm hard drive. Each of the four memory slots are filled to capacity with 10 GB of DDR3 RAM (can accommodate up to 16 GB) and PCIe x16 is filled with an AMD Radeon HD 6850 (1GB) discrete graphics card. There's also a 802.11n Wi-Fi card installed. In short, this PC very excited. If you have any plans to expand this office in the future, you will need to work through the supply of 450 W of power.
Unfortunately, there is a considerable amount of bloatware on your desktop that includes HP-specific software suite Bing Bar, three different e-readers (Blio, Kobo, and Zinio Reader 4), Netflix, Hulu, and eBay. I'm of the mind that a new team means a new beginning, and when a foreign software on it, it seems ... contaminated.
Performance
The H8-1050 has a strong list of components that includes i7-2600 a 3.4 GHz Intel Core, 10GB RAM above and AMD Radeon HD 6850 GPU. These components add up to a machine powerful media manipulation (ie Photoshop and video editing) will also play games to the public mid-range. The H8-1050 completed our test image in Photoshop CS5 2 minutes 57 seconds, while Dell XPS x8300-5215NBK ($ 1099.99 list, 4 stars). In Cinebench R11.5 two systems was only 0.6 points difference, H8-1050 (6.82) is the higher of the two.
In the game, H8-1050 was clearly a superior machine. Comparing the Radeon HD 6850 GPU and the Radeon HD x8300 Dell XPS 5770 is not a competition. H8-1050 achieved a playable frame rate at our Crysis DirectX 10 (98.9frames per second), and Lost Planet DX11 2 (77.6fps), medium settings at 1280 x 720 resolution, as well as the Dell XPS x8300. When the resolution came up at 1920 by 1080 system is not able to play an average frame rate, but the Pavilion H8-1050 was better.
HP Pavilion Elite H8-1050 definitely has a leg up on Dell XPS x8300 when it comes to features. TV tuner, Blu-ray player and USB 3.0 ports to attract those who want to make this machine's media hub, which is why it is our choice of editors. But Dell XPS x8300 features a reception with numbers similar performance when it comes to media creation (not games), which is $ 200 cheaper. So really, it all depends if the list you need / want to include things like a Blu-Ray and USB 3.0-If not then you might consider the cheaper option. Dell XPS x8300 will give you an excellent multimedia performance without the option (and that includes bloatware), but H8-1050 is the best of both systems.
0 doors, one of which is a plug-in USB receiver to connect the keyboard and mouse on PC. There's also an infrared remote control included in the package is useful when browsing the menus on Blu-ray, especially if you're thinking about putting a PC in my living room.
