hp hpe 250f versus hp hpe 270f I've been looking at these two desktop computers and the only difference I can tell is that the 250 has the i7 860 processor and the 270 has the i7 930. The 270f seems like it is always out of stock (at Amazon anyway). Any idea if there is a major difference between the two - they are about the same price? Are they about the same or is one better than the other? hp hpe 250f versus hp hpe 270f I've been looking at these two desktop computers and the only difference I can tell is that the 250 has the i7 860 processor and the 270 has the i7 930.

I like the idea of having a eSATA port. Do you think you could add one to the 250? Also do you think 16 is enough RAM. I noticed the 270 holds up to 24. Any additional input on which system is better?Thanks

According to the specs (for what they are worth), the 250 actually has faster memory (10300 vs 885), but the 270 has 6 cores as compared to 4. If the 270 actually had the faster DDR 3 memory, it would in theory be a significantly faster machine. Of course, at these speeds, an SSD hard drive for your system and program software would probably speed up the machine much more than the extra two cores, but unless you are using software that does serious number crunching (hard core gaming, graphics, or music or video production software), you will probably never even care.

There are 2 open PCI Express 1x slots in the HPE-250f, so yes, you can buy a card that will provide two eSATA ports (and even IDE support for a floppy or older DVD-ROM drive ...). Such a card would typically cost less than $25. Check out the link belowhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816132014Sixteen Gb RAM is huge. The HPE-250f appears to be a good value, but realize that there is only room to add one more hard-drive inside the case, and adding cooling to the case is not possible either.

I don't believe there are any differences besides the clock speed. Everything seems identical (same chipset, RAM size/speed, disk model, wireless model, etc) and the only difference the i7-4510u has is an increased clock multiplier. I can say that 1.8 GHz base clock has proven more than enough for anything I need from this computer (read: educational Solidworks, light games/transcoding, productivity, 50+ tabs), and combined with the ssd and ample RAM, I doubt the difference would be significant unless you had heavy single-threaded workloads. It seems that this model has been marked down more because people rarely look at the clock speeds, and this is the cheapest i7 model (also the cheapest with 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD, my constraints); the market for the other one would be more professional.

I only own the 2540, but just scanning the specs, it seems as if the 2542 is faster. I can't see any other notable difference: both offer wireless connectivity and the ability to do basic printing jobs as well as scanning and copying. They use the same inks, and the printing & scanning resolution seems similar. You may want to ask HP what the differences between them are (vs whether they are basically the same device). The paper feed on the 2542 may be different? But I can't tell without having one here, and suspect that many others out there own either one or the other but not both, and so may have a tough time addressing this question.

Hey Benjamin There is a side-by-side comparison of the various lamps Philips makes at the end of the listing for the HF3470. It looks like it boils down to this: The HF3470 has a replaceable bulb (what that entails, I couldn't tell you. It looks like the HF3520 must be a "forever" bulb). The HF 3470 has a "sunrise simulation" which I dig, and helps me wake up more naturally, which is what I bought the product for in the first place, so that was important to me, but is it for you? Lastly, the HF3470 has 2 sound simulations whereas the HF3520 has 5. I wouldn't call that particular facet a deal breaker. It looks to boil down to the idea of the sunrise simulation and is that worth roughly $60 for you? Happy shopping.

I paid $100 less than the hp.com price for mine through amazon. Not sure y the price difference but its the same that i can tell

This one is the i5 processor. The I3 and the I7 should be available August first but most people believe that this processor is the "sweet spot" between price and performance. You are going to pay another 250 bucks for the i7.

I placed it in hp.com for 100bucks. it took 1hr to complete order. went through shopping1.hp.com. some other mirror websites are showing as sold out. not sure whether hp honors my order not.

The HP Home and Home Office Store has it in stock! I cancelled my pre-order at Amazon and went to the HP store. It was about $30 more, but they had a $20 off coupon.

The processor in the AO722 is a C-60 where as the AO725 is a C-70. Also, the AO725 comes with 2 gigs more RAM stock. This link for the C-70 processor helps explain the minor difference between the processors: http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-C-Series-C-70-Notebook-Processor.82852.0.html

Thanks for the information, David. If all else fails, read the instructions, right? It is interesting that the manual title does not reference the 2509m, but that is the manual that HP's website directed me to, as well. I really need to get this monitor wall-mounted, as the below eye level position is too low to get the best viewing angle - the tilt stand helps, but that is a pretty extreme angle.

6-8 hours. This is the HPs flagship computer.It has leap motion which means you can control it without even touching it.Has one of the fastest processors an i7-4702HQ, its 40th place in the world.Has 2tb of space, meaning exactly 2000 GB's.16GB of ramand a 750m GT with 4GB of ram on it ( you can play almost any video game on this pc)It goes for $1400, I'm taking off $200 so it will sell fast.

If you're asking about the DF250B versus only other Waring models, the 250B is going to be as good as a Waring non-commercial product gets. Waring currently also lists (for the same recommended retail price) a DF280 model which is identical in sharing 1800 watt heating elements, a 2.3lb food capacity and 1 gallon oil capacity. The differences are the 280 has a 3 basket configuration and digital controls. Feel free to read my other comments regarding the 250.

I would really recommend you go w/ an Antec (they're extremely reliable, trust me). I checked out the specs for your hp elite, that's a nice machine, I wouldn't risk it for this Corsair. I bought this psu and it sizzled out w/in the first six weeks. I replaced it w/ an Antec 900w from here on amazon, and have had amazing performance and lower electric bills. Plus, if I ever need to upgrade, I'll have plenty of power to do so. > Antec High Current Gamer HCG-900, 80 PLUS BRONZE, 900 Watt Power Supply (it's on sale now for 117.00, which is a killer deal considering that I paid close to $200 for mine).

mine is Windows 7 home premium. Depending on what is installed by HP they have 3 different Windows 7. attached is a link comparing what they do.I didn't want Windows 8 as too confusing. This HPE h8-1360t is an excellent very fast computer. I upgraded from Vista which I liked also. just copy and paste link. ihttp://news.softpedia.com/newsImage/Windows-7-Home-Premium-vs-Professional-vs-Ultimate-3.jpg/

Go to this website: http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/586/Intel_Core_i7_i7-3930K_vs_Intel_Core_i7_i7-4930K.html.There are subtle differences. Just seems like a minor update in speed and ram support.
