HP Pavilion Slimline s3330f PC Magazine has a review up of the HP Pavilion Slimline s3330f desktop system here on their website. The s3330f is on the high end of HP’s Slimline series and caters towards the HD video enthusiasts who require Blu-ray/HD DVD playback support as well as HDTV tuner capabilities. I’m a huge fan of the HP Slimline series primarily because I’m a happy owner of an HP Pavilion Slimline s3200n desktop (which is no longer available for purchase) myself. The Slimline desktops are well designed, fairly quiet, small and compact, and look pretty sweet too. About the only major complaint I had with my s3200n was the HP bloatware (which apparently is still there with the latest s3330f).

Features and specs of the s3330f include the following:

  • AMD Athlon64 X2 5400+
  • 2GB of RAM
  • NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT with 256MB of video RAM
  • DVI and HDMI
  • 1 PCIe x16 slot
  • 500GB 7200RPM HDD
  • Blu-ray/HD DVD player and SuperMulti DVD burner
  • HD Audio
  • 15-in-1 memory card reader
  • 6 USB ports
  • Measures 13.89 x 4.21 x 10.87 in

PC Magazine’s verdict is as follows:

With the HP Pavilion Slimline s3330f, HP improves its Slimline PC for HD video enthusiasts. At $950 (as tested), it comes with just enough to satisfy a multimedia consumer

Combining a TV tuner, and Blu-ray player into the Slimline series can only mean this desktop series just got a whole lot better.
