Compaq Presario 5360 (117744-004) PC Desktop

Pros: Lasts, Awesome Newer Versions, Reliable
Cons: Ages, Like Any Computer

I've been a Compaq girl my entire life. I don't know what it is about these computers, but they are home to me. My first computer was a Compaq and the computer I order to get on the internet to feed my addiction when on my death bed will most likely be...

Pros: good solid computer
Cons: none

I recently upgraded from a 233MHz to this computer and so far I have been pleasantly surprised how well it is doing despite what I have heard. Whenever I read about Compaq in computer magazines I always see it as the lower ranked hardware but it has...

Pros: Setting up is a breeze!
Cons: The limited bundled software

We originally bought our last computer in 1991 and constantly were adding new insides to it over the last couple years. Finally we reached a point where the system was a mess and things were not working well together. So rather then let my computer...

Pros: Nice Design, easy to use
Cons: Tech support is a little weak sometimes

I purchased my Compaq with one of those MSN Rebates. I got a good deal on it but I'm not crazy about MSN. That's another opinion topic though. This is an overall great family computer. It's easy for the kids to use and It's not too complicated to...

Pros: ???
Cons: Locks up way too much

When my husband and I started looking for a new computer, we knew we could not spend alot of money so when we found the Compaq Presario with a rebate, we jumped on it. We were so excited to get a new computer but if we had only known. We have had...

Pros: Stable, Fast, Inexpensive, Excellent software bundle
Cons: Virtually none at all

This is an excellent value for the home and small business user. The Compaq Presario 5360 is a very fast, forgiving, and fun machine to use and to learn to use a computer on. The basic configuration of these computers is sufficient for heavy internet use...

Pros: packaging is nice, keyboard layout
Cons: a lot of bugs that can't be fixed

For the average computer user... the person who comes home from work, turns on his/her computer, checks e-mail, surfs the net, then shuts down computer. The Compuq (Compuke)is fine. But for people that know what they're doing...the only thing Compuq's...

Pros: good "beginner" computer
Cons: lack of upgradability, poor internal design

I purchased this unit about a year ago, and feel it is a good system for someone who enjoys playing a few games, surfing the net, writing a report, and shutting down. Then again, you don't need a 450 processor for any of those things anyway, so maybe...

Pros: Price, comprehensive system
Cons: System restore CD, no Win98 CD.

Yes, I would rather buy a Dell or a Gateway, but by the time I configured it the way I wanted, I was in the $1,100-$1,200 range. I bought the Compaq with a 17" Viewsonic monitor for just under $800 with free next day shipping. I was thrilled....

Pros: Good price for the package
Cons: Interferes with Microsoft's programs more than I like.

Last year, I went with my parents to pick them out a computer. They are new to computers and didn't want to spend a lot of money on a pc. We went to HH Gregg and they had a deal where you could get the Compaq presario 5360, 17" monitor, and a...

Pros: Fast!!!!
Cons: Crashes ALOT!!!!

My opinon is that it crashes ALOT!! I mean my life with this computer is Ctrl+Alt+Delete,Ctrl+Alt+Delete,Ctrl+Alt+Delete!!! But it is very fast! This is my second Compaq and they both crashed alot!!! But it is good for the price!!! So I say if you have...

Pros: good speakers, reliable
Cons: may need more space

The Compaq Presario 5360 comes with plenty of hard drive space and RAM. My operating system for this computer is Windows 98, and it works pretty well. If you really need extensive space on your computer or video RAM, you may need to upgrade to higher...

Pros: Awesome computer
Cons: Certain restrictions to advanced users

The 5360 is all advantage besides the 4 meg video card and 64 megs of ram, it is expandable and has a future. I have been using computers for eight years and obviously newer users will perhaps encounter problems down the road for the fact that sometimes...

Pros: I found tech support to be good.
Cons: Not versitile for adding drive or ports. What you get is all you can have.

I wanted to add a CD-WR drive in addition to the existing drive. Guess what, the expansion bay contains the hard drive. Because of it's configuration (Big Foot) it will not fit anywhere else in the case. Also they tie up two interupt requests for a...

Pros: Nice size, well running
Cons: You can't set up the one touch keyboard by yourself

I have owned the Presario 5360 for 5 months. I have found it to be just what I was looking for. I have had no problems with its functioning to the optimal effect. Setup was the easiest thing I have ever seen. As a new computer owner I set it up in a...
