Reviews of the HP Compaq Presario V5000T
-
CNET Review
The Good: Inexpensive; plenty of upgrade options; CPU options recently upgraded from long-in-the-tooth Celeron M to Core Solo and Core Duo.
The Bad: Some parts feel flimsy; performance and battery life fail to impress; display is not the best for movies and games.
The Bottom Line: A budget system from HP's Compaq line, the Presario V5000T offers basic productivity and reasonable upgradability that straddles the line between consumer and small business needs.
