Compaq Presario 5888 (153314-004) PC Desktop

Pros: Very fast, nice hardware and software bundle.
Cons: A few silly software products added to the machine. Also, a bit pricey, does not include a monitor.

I have been in the Computer business for the past 14 years. Never have I found a product with so much thought put into it. The combination of awesome hardware, along with the right combination of software, Compaq has finally built a quality computer...

Pros: cool case
Cons: slow, divided hard drive

Sorry, but compaq computers just plain suck. even though they say 500 mhz they perform like a 200 and i hate how the computers come with divided workspace. you have to share your harddrive. i guess the case looks pretty cool but that has nothing to do...

Pros: DVD
Cons: not a single one

This computer is so great it is so fast I think it is the best on the market I love this computer so much it is just so great and I don't think that I will ever run out of hard drive. Also the dvd drive is great right now I only watch movies on it and...

Pros: extreme speed, nice looks, cd burner, comes with microsoft software package, dvd player,
Cons: a bit pricey,

*a con:
the case has a little door that swings open to make the cd-burner accessible- I don't see why they put that there (although it looks cool) and it's a bit of a pain to have to open it instead of having direct access. You can take the door off...

Pros: Price for the product
Cons: Freezes up, hard crashing a must

I bought the Compaq 5888 because I wanted a fast processor for Windows at the best possible price possible. I bought mine as a open box model from Best Buy for $1460, not including a monitor or printer. I probably should have bought a computer from...

Pros: excellent price with rebates and packages
Cons: nothing

Compaq has come a long way the last few years. A couple of years ago any computer was better than theirs. Now its a best buy value. Compaq presario series are excellent computers at awesome prices. As a computer science major I know computers and for...

Pros: Graphics, Speed, Memory
Cons: No TV Out on DVD player

This Athlon 700 mhz processor is fast. I use it mostly for internet purposes and video games. My old one was just not cutting it. So I purchased this one, and what a difference! The games I play on this computer are mostly EA Sports games, and they...

Pros: None
Cons: Lousy service, no win 98 CD included with machine

I needed a faster computer so I purchased a "refurbished" Compaq 5888 from their outlet auction site. From the first power-up, the computer locked up after 30 seconds in Win 98. The only way to get the machine to reboot is to turn it off,...

Pros: speed,price,service,sweetness
Cons: none

I was recently searching for the best deal on a computer because I'm only 13 and wanted MY OWN computer. I looked at Dells which were way too expensive, Gateways were just not worth it, and most of the other brands just stink. Then I came upon the...

Pros: Good quality parts and service
Cons: YOu have to use their parts if anything goes wrong with the computer (COMPAQ)

Compaq and othercomputer companies are finally realizing the full capabilities of the AMD processor. Now claiming to be the fastest processor in the world. I have had Intel processors before, but have never seen the speed and reliability in Intel's chips...
