Arbico CD7900 Pro
RECOMMENDED AWARD – PC ADVISOR – NOV 2006

The Arbico CD 7900 Pro  was reviewed in the November 2006 issue of PC Advisor magazine. The review starts, “One of two new names to our charts, Arbico gets off to a flying start by bagging a ‘Recommended’ award. If it had pushed the processor up to a 2.4GHz E6600 rather than a 2.13GHz E6400, this PC would have been hard to beat. As it is, the E6400 still produces a very respectable WorldBench score of 125. Arbico has done most things right.

PC Advisor then goes on to say, “The 250GB hard drive is more than ample, while the GeForce 7900 GT means Arbico can lay down impressive frame rates without adding too much to the cost. Game frame rates weren’t stellar, but they were consistently ahead of the fourth-placed. Mesh Matrix – even if the latter PC just about pulled ahead on video encoding.”

Finally the reviewer states, “The Arbico benefits from a good flat-panel, the Iiyama offering a steady image and bags of colour. Neither has Arbico forgotten about audio, putting in a Creative Audigy 4 card and some ear-popping Logitech X-530s, while the DVD writer is excellent. As a first stab at a PC, this is a cracking effort.”
