The Presario 2500 is a good looking piece of kit, even though it’s one of the largest laptops on the market. It has an excellent screen with a 1200 x 768 pixel resolution, which is large enough... more

    Advantages Advantages A brand new machine at a bargain price.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages May be cosmetically marked with rough packaging.

    I had an old home built computer. 166 Pentium, I Meg Hard Disk 32Mb memory with just a CD-Rom running Windows 95 in an AT case. My son had an Elonex with a 366 Pentium 11, 6Meg Hard Disk 64Mb memory with a CD-Rom running Windows 98. It all started with the unsucessful attempt to add a CD-RW and DVD player to his machine. I had been considering upgrading my machine for over a year, but it would require a complete new start. I was also nervous about building a machine with Windows xp due to problems of incompatible or non-existent drivers. By a very roundabout route weighing up various options ... more

    Advantages Advantages Fast, Fast, FAST!!! (Oh yeah... and easy to set up and use, too.)

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Huh?!!? No stereo speakers?!?!

    "Ho-lee smm–mmokes!! Willya juss lookit dat!!!... unbeliev... Hubba!! Hubba!!... AYAY-YESSSS... YEEEEE-HAHHH!!!... WAHHH-HOOEEE!!" And that, ladies and gentlemen, very precisely summarizes my thought and speech patterns for the first 30 minutes after I initially fired up my new computer last week. For a while there, I guess I must've sounded like an incomprehensible, blithering idiot. Now that I’ve regained my composure – and a renewed ability to form coherent sentences – I’m here to offer some initial observations about the Compaq Presario 5004US. It’s the ... more

    Advantages Advantages All in one basic solution

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The price..

    RRP: £765. This is very much an entry-level home PC aimed at the first-time buyer. The core specification is actually pretty basic, with an AMD K6-2/533 processor in the driving seat, backed by a skimpy 64MB of SDRAM and an 8GB Western Digital hard disk. Graphics are handled by an integrated Trident Blade3D accelerator which actually borrows 8MB of system memory for its own use, leaving only 56MB for everything else. This doesn't do performance any good, and the Trident chip isn't much of a 3D accelerator either, so you aren't looking at the sort of machine that will appeal to keen gamers ... more

    Advantages Advantages After Sales Product Support

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Unwanted Pre-Installed Software

    Fast, reliable, good looks, stable ... to mention a few, but enough about me, I`m here to talk about the Compaq Presario 6097EA. Ah, who am I kidding, course I mean the PC. I have had it for about 6 months now and is an upgrade from a Compaq Presario 2292 which I had for about 4 years. Yes, that`s the downside, 4 years ago I had a state-of-the-art machine and nowadays it just doesn`t cut the mustard. Here`s a list of what you are going to get for your money: *Intel Pentium 4 2.2ghz processor Should suffice for even the most intensive applications! This can be upgraded in the future as it is ... more

    Advantages Advantages Quality brand

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Hard and anoying to upgrade

    I have had my Compaq Pressario 5400 PC for over 2 years now and with the expansion of technology, it quickly became out-dated. That seems to be the only problem with buying a PC these days, having to upgrade it every few years, which turns out to be quite expensive. For a tower PC it was quite small, but looked attractive and wasn't too heavy in weight. I think i paid arround £899 for it, which was average at the time but not very good in today's terms. One of the main problems i found with this PC is the amount of space it gives you inside and it makes it a nightmare to upgrade because of the ... more
