HP Pavilion a6560t Desktop PC

Featuring the latest digital technology, our ENERGY STAR® qualified Pavilion a6560t series offers powerful computing and captivating entertainment.

Genuine Windows Vista with Service Pack 1
This series comes with genuine Windows Vista Home Premium, which includes Windows Aero, Windows Media Center, and instant search. Upgrade to genuine Windows Vista Ultimate on your Pavilion PC and you'll notice the difference in the new look, instant search, built-in Windows Media Center, and automated security features. You'll be able to create photo albums and home videos, listen to music, automatically record TV shows and movies onto your PC, and play games.

Friendly to the environment
The Pavilion a6560t features an 80 percent efficient power supply; it provides power when needed for intensive computing tasks, then automatically reduces power consumption for less-intensive tasks and when the system is idle. This means you'll save money and help protect the environment, without sacrificing features or performance.

Easy multitasking
Customize your a6560t with two or four processor cores for maximum horsepower. This will let you simultaneously handle multimedia entertainment, photo editing, and even multiple users without slowing down your system. In fact, it's up to 40 percent faster and more energy-efficient than previous-generation processors.

Upgraded graphics
Select a 512MB Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT dedicated graphics card for the best performance with multimedia. Your graphics, images, and videos will render more smoothly and you'll notice the difference, even with basic applications like Web browsing.

Great-looking disc labels
The included DVD writer with LightScribe1 lets you label discs with professional-looking text and images. After burning a LightScribe-enabled disc, you just flip it over and reinsert for labeling; there's no need to print, align, or attach a sticker.

The latest in DVDs: Blu-ray
Enhance your high-definition entertainment with a Blu-ray disc writer. You can read and write Blu-ray discs, read HD DVD discs, and read and write traditional DVDs and CDs. Once you try high-def DVD, you'll never go back. Note: select a dedicated graphics card upgrade for the best performance.

Plenty of space
You can never have too much storage space for documents, photos, and songs; the a6560t supplies Serial ATA hard drives in several sizes when you customize.

Easy, portable storage
Store, share, and transport your music, videos, documents, and photos with the Pocket Media Drive (optional). It docks in its own built-in bay on select desktop PCs (or you can connect via USB). There's no separate power supply so it's quiet and cool.

Mega memory
The PCs in this series come with dual-channel DDR2-800MHz SDRAM, which supports data-intensive activities including photo editing and song downloading.

Awesome audio
Enjoy high-quality, integrated Intel High Definition Audio with up to 7.1 surround sound. The customizable speaker options range from standard two-piece systems to unparalleled Logitech THX certified.

High-quality software
We test and qualify all software sold with our PCs to help ensure a trouble-free experience with your new computer. In addition, our software prices are competitive: they're equal to—and often lower than—prices you'll commonly find in stores and online.

For your children
Customize your a6560t with EasyBits Magic Desktop software for kids ages 2 to 10, an "operating system" that's both child-proof and child-friendly. You control which programs your kids can access, and when. EasyBits also has a spam- and virus- protected e-mail program and Web browser that you can monitor.

Protection for your PC
The Pavilion a6560t can be customized with a 15-month subscription to Norton Internet Security 2008 software; you can upgrade to 36 months of protection from viruses, worms, and other malicious programs.
