    CNET Review

    June 22, 2007

    The Good: Attractive new chassis design and keyboard; LightScribe DVD burner uncommon at this price; robust support.

    The Bad: Outdated CPU; no built-in Wi-Fi.

    The Bottom Line: HP's new Compaq Presario SR5050NX squeaks by its direct eMachines competition, but both of those systems fall behind to HP's own SlimLine desktops in terms of features and performance. If you're looking for a basic desktop with expandability, though, we give this system the nod.

    Review Summary: Inexpensive PC with big hard drive succeeds at standard multimedia tasks, but its graphics are too weak for serious gamers.

    Review Summary: The Compaq Presario SR5130NX neither excels nor offends. It's an okay choice for a middle-of-the-road PC in the $500 range.
