I have had my Compaq Presario for approximately 9 years now. I have had other brands but this one seems to be the best for me. I have Microsoft Windows XP on it and I love it. I use it for my genealogy and to play games on. I have Microsoft Office Home Edition on it and it works great. If I had the choice of any computer on the market I would stick with this brand. I have two USB ports on the front of the computer which I use one for my digital camera cord and the other one I use for my MP3 player. It is very convenient to have them on the front as well as the two on the back. I love having two floppy drives on the computer. I have the old three inch one and one for my cd's. I have a lot of old three inch floppys that I still use with different stuff on them. A lot of the new computers don't have this drive and that would be very inconvenient for me. I have added a flat screen now which is very cool.

loveblueunicorn says "Wonderful to use." about Compaq Presario desktop computer

I have had my compaq for over seven years. I wouldn't use another kind besides HP. I have tried all the others and more trouble than I could afford. I had only to change my hard drive once. Which only cost me one hundred dollars parts included. The dvd/cd burner had only to be changed once and it was so easy to install. All I had to do was take the side panel off and disconnect the old one and connect the new one. It was so cheap to buy also only fifty dollars or less. Depending if you want the lightscribe. This model still has the floppy disc connected to it. It comes in very handy. This model of PC is so economical, less maintenance and less headaches. I am always online, from the time I get up until late in the evenings. So I get a lot of use out of it. The newer models make things so hard to replace the parts. You have to automatically get a repairman to fix a minor problem. So that means more money out of your pockets. Compaq is now owned by HP. So I can say I got my money worth...

nitaann1 says "my compaq presario is excellent" about Compaq Presario desktop computer

I THINK THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST COMPUTERS THAT I HAVE USED THUS FAR.. what i do most on my computer is make cd's and dvd's. I like to take my time to make the best quality possible. I use grahics with lots of color. I have some of the best computer speakers out there because when i am making cd's i like my music loud. I use a flat screen monitor all of the same brand name compaq.. I would recommend this computer to just about anyone, One of the best features of this computer is that it has a lot of memory which is great. the speed is excellent.. The desugn is a desktop but it does not have that gawdty look.

One other feature of the computer is the photo gallery as well i use a regular printer and the picture quality is excellent. No iam not a expert but i have used and one several different brands of computers and have this one to be of best quality.

Even my child love using this computer. Each of them have laptops but i am always telling them to get off my computer and their...

jtomasb says "The Compaq Persario that I personally own works fine for me" about Compaq Presario desktop computer

With all of the hype about the new operation system Windows 7 I'm totally satisfied with Windows Vista right now, and being the sole proprietor of my own business (paralegal services) for the most part my Presario SR5010NX computer has all of the capabilities and loaded applications I need to perform my tasks.

Juliejwldezignz says "Comapq Presario Computers From Walmart is Crappy" about Compaq Presario desktop computer

Juliejwldezignz — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 00:30:42 GMT

I have had 3 Compaq Computers thats what I have now and they are some of the worse computers I have ever saw I have had this one about 3-4 years and I have had to refomatt it about 3-4 times. Half the time the Cd burner dont want to work. Have had to replace power supply and it is so slow a snail could keep up with it. The Monotor and speakers are ok Another pro it has a nice looking monotor and tower Its just that my experiece with this has not been all that Great I dont know it may be my aol cause there not as good as they used to be But still it should not be as slow and freeze up as much.
Only has 240mb memory thats not the average of most. It has about 4 memory card slots so thats a good thing.Also has 4-5 usb ports one onb the front and 3-4 in the back. Has an extra Expansion Bay if You would want to add something else like another Cd burner or maybe a dvd Drive but then again thats if it dont slow it down any more. Thanks For Reading this

tracy06P says "I have had nothing but problems with this computer" about Compaq Presario desktop computer

tracy06P — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 01:52:14 GMT

I purchased this computer about 2 years ago. Within 2 months of purchase, it had a major malfunction and was sent into manufacturer. Received it back a month later. It ran ok for awhile then began having small issues such as poor graphics, running slow, etc. Now the computer will not even load. Everytime you shut it down and boot it back up, it needs to go through the repair. Sometimes it will complete it, other times it will not. It just goes to a black screen with a flashing cursor and does nothing. This is a real problem for me because my child uses it for school work and I am supposed to be completing a online college class. I feel that the main problem with this computer is the OS. It runs Vista. I have not been impressed with the OS from the beginning. I have talked with a lot of computer experts over the issues that my computer is having and all seem to say the same thing, "We have had a lot of people with similar issues and they are all running Vista as well." They reccomend upgrading...

cappie1156 says "Compaq Presario laptop computer is good" about Compaq Presario desktop computer

cappie1156 — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 21:02:12 GMT

I do enjoy my laptop for the convenience rather then a PC, I only have issues with all the extra software that it comes with. You don't need most of it as games and other media types. I would rather just add all my own that I prefer to use myself as most media and extras are only on a trial basis and after they expire you are not able to afford buying full versions or subscribing to keep them up. I really do like Compaq/Hewlett Packard other than Dell procucts in general. Dell is way too pushy in trying to sell you any of their products. They are not as competent in helpdesk issues, I feel, compared to the great help you get with all Hewlett Packard technicians. They are very reliable and can help with all issues that I have called about in the past. Everything was working fine once the call was completed. I will alwalys purchase Compaq or Hewlett Packard products in the future for my needs. I appreciate reliable electronics.

I have been using my Compaq presario for about 7 years now and it's still going strong.

When I do decide to get a new computer I will for sure go for the Compaq brand whether it be a desk top or a laptop.

All my family use this Compaq desk top and have no problems with it, it is easy to configure and also easy to format, all the instructions are built into the Compaq desktop.

Other features of this Compaq desktop is being able to view videos and play music it also has great graphic programs on the Compaq desktop.

I really have no problems with it and have logged many hours of enjoyment.

At Compaq, it is believed that a personal computer is more than a productivity machine. It's a tool, or set of tools, to unleash the imagination and connect to the world. So when people buy a Compaq Presario PC, they're making a very personal statement.

I came across. I think the Compaq Presarion model 5441 has gotten a bad rap for freezing and having to boot to get out of the situation. I think it\'s the O/S ( Operatin...g system ) that was packaged. Window\'s \'98 is a complete dog. ABout 3 months ago I upgraded to W2000 professioanl edition and I haven\'t had one problem with the PC. I had previously thought...
