The HP Direct online store is no stranger to deals. Like Dell’s SOHO and Consumer stores, there’s are always excellent sales on HP PCs, and you can find them and buy them, so long as you know where to dig. They might be just barely past the point of freshness, but often these buried deals are more than worth their (significantly discounted) price tags.
This HP Pavilion desktop is a great example. This particular configuration of the Pavilion Elite h8xt sports a quad-core Intel Core i7 CPU, 8GB RAM, and a 1TB, 7200RPM hard drive. There’s also HP’s custom Beats audio, a valet tray for easily connecting to peripherals, and loads of other goodies that are left off of laptops, mainly because of space. These include a 15-in-1 card reader, a Blu-ray reader/writer, and tons of ports, you know, like HDMI, USB, and more. Plus there are all those extra bays where you can cram more storage, another optical drive, or whatever else you need.
But the real draw is the Ivy Bridge processor the system runs. The updated platform is an excellent excuse to splurge on a new PC in addition to the other completely sensible reasons to splurge on this desktop. Namely, all the great upgrades you can purchase and save on, including an additional 8GB of memory, a TV tuner, and Bluetooth.
