Tiny Computers

Let me introduce you to my Tiny baby, George, the most powerful computer system I have owned, and at the time of purchase (about 5 months ago) just about the most powerful computer you could buy for under a thousand pounds. Now I can't tell you much about expandability, as I have never opened the case up, but I can you about the specifications and how it performs out of the box. Again I can't tell you how well all of the particular functions work (as I have no need for some of them), but I can tell you how well the functions I do use work, along with the improvements I've seen with the various different types of software I regularly use. * Before I start, I ...  Read the complete review

I HAVE RECENTLY PURCHASED A PC FROM TINY VIA ONE OF THE PRESS ADVERTS AND A TELEPHONE NUMBER.THE WHOLE PROCESS TOOK ABOUT (15)MINS FROM START TO FINISH,INCLUDING GETTING APPROVED FOR CREDIT.

Watch out their still about!!! - Advantages: Low cost, Good specifications - Disadvantages: warranty is worthless., helpline costs a packet., They will change their name and leave you hi and dry.

I had this silly notion that I would buy a PC as my laptop was lovely but not sufficiently robust to run all the applications I wanted to use. I noticed a new computer store, The Computer World, and went in, took a brochure home, looked over various prices and systems and settled on a model I felt was sufficient. It was a Tiny Home Studio XP1800+ with an Athlon 1800 processor, 40GB hard drive, 256MB RAM, Windows XP, 17” monitor, etc. A nice little package deal for £799, including an Epson colour printer and digital camera.
