This is a line of "
consumer"
computers from
IBM. They tend to be unusually
expensive, and have a
reputation of being constructed in a
flimsy manner. They are also generally
proprietary; if you want to
upgrade an Aptiva, you are pretty much out of
luck. It surprises me that a company like IBM, that used to manufacture equipment
built like a tank, has stooped to building such utter
garbage.
This is why I recommend anyone who is seriously into computers to build your own computer. You can get much better parts this way and have a decent upgrade path.
