HP Pavilion Slimline s5220y Review

HP Pavilion Slimline s5220y is a low end slim PC with an unexciting performance package. Even though it comes with a usual boring case some might get attract to use it as light-duty module and also as media streaming box but they will be later fed up of its irritating connectivity options and lackluster components.

HP has updated its s5120y to give s5220y. The desktop measures 12.2 inches high, 15.9 inches in depth and 4.4 inches in width. It is very nearest to Dell Inspiron 545-1476N in its size. But it is larger when compared to Gateway SX2800-01.
