...model was definitely a much better buy. And the computer with the most "bang" – at least on paper, anyway – was the CompaqPresario 5004US. After discussing different models with the salesman for 30 minutes, and weighing my options for nearly another hour, I paid the man $1,149 and eagerly walked out with my new "screamer."
