Compaq Presario 5352

Pros: DVD rom, ok modem, affordable
Cons: Radio Shack packaged the wrong speakers, boots up very slow

With all the buzz and the hype sweeping the country about the internet and computers, I felt like I had to get one. Before I got one, I felt like there was a huge club I wasn't a part of. So I decided to purchase the Compaq Presario 5352 from my local...

Pros: Price, CD rewrite drive
Cons: Freezes up a lot

For a less expensive computer, this isn't a bad one. Although anytime you spend more than $900 on something you expect more. Maybe my computer is just moody or something. Some days it works fine, others it doesn't. It freezes up on me a number of times,...

Pros: Good for people who are not computer geeks
Cons: Software included was poor

Bought this computer to do some letters, play on the internet, print labels, etc. It has performed just fine for these uses. I was able to hook this up with no problem except they packed the incorrect speakers in it and had to go a few rounds with the...

Pros: Dependable, cheap
Cons: Iffy tech support

Compaq's are a little like Rodney Dangerfield - they get no respect. This is unfortunate because they are decent little machines at rock-bottom prices. Granted, they are top of the line technologically but for the average computer owner they are a...

Pros: Affordable
Cons: It's just ordinary

There is nothing particulary special about the Compaq Presario 5352. The reason why I decided to buy this computer was because it was affordable. A Cpu, 15 inch monitor, and Ink jet printer all for only $1400, how could you go wrong? It seemed like a...

Pros: Booted up quickly (I know because I had to re-boot a lot!)
Cons: Froze up a lot, didn't run as quickly as it should have

I purchased this computer at Best Buy. I was told by the sales assoc. that it was a very good computer and that I would be very happy with my purchase. He. . . was wrong. I went home, set up the computer, and got frustrated. The computer kept...

Pros: very fast and dependable
Cons: none

I think one of the best values on the market. Its very powerful, very fast, and is a very good buy. You can't go wrong with this model. I've had other computers, but this ranks as the best. I don't know what I would do without it. Other computers...

Pros: Price
Cons: Nearly everything

Not knowing much about computers (PC) I relied on a salesperson,
(1st mistake) who told me this computer would suit my needs totally.
Circuit City should train their salesforce much better. After purchasing
the recommended unit, it was...

Pros: Compaq Reliability, Ease of Setup
Cons: None

I am not a computer genius by any stretch. It took me twenty minutes to empty the box, connect the system and have it running. That in my opinion is a great selling point. My kids said this was the system they had in school. So it is the one we selected....
