Reviews of the HP Compaq Presario SR5050NX
-
CNET Review
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The Bad: Outdated CPU; no built-in Wi-Fi.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: All in all, Compaq's Presario SR5350F is a good-performing system with plenty of storage space, but you may want to add a discrete graphics card after you get it home

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.
