I installed ten (10) HP 3130 desktops two months ago for a local dental practice. No issues. Not one. Nice machine, fast, quiet, runs cool, plenty of space, 4GB, etc.

The list price is $789.00 but they were purchased for about $599.00. At that price the margin can't be very much. My guess -- $150.00

But it takes a lot more energy and logistics to move 1MM desktop PC's than it does to move 1MM iPhones.

If HP is getting out of this market (behind Dell and IBM) it must mean desktop PC's as we know them are dead.
