Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

As one of the most affordable members of the expansive Compaq Presario s5000nx roster of light- to medium-duty PCs, this particular model, the Presario s5010nx-bDesktop PC, is definitely not recommended for anything other than the absolute basics. Its price is certainly right, especially considering that this is a complete desktop package including a monitor and speakers. But if you intend to go beyond such general duties as word processing, personal finances, email and CD burning, you should either check into another Compaq model or plan on upgrading key components.

The Presario s5010nx-b is driven by a price-conscious 2.5 GHz Intel Celeron processor -- an adequately fast CPU but not nearly as capable or as forward-looking as Intel's flagship processor, the Pentium 4. Compaq has added a minimal alloent of RAM memory -- 128 MB (upgradeable to 1 GB) -- and an integrated Intel Extreme Graphics controller with just 32 MB of shared (not dedicated) video memory. As such, the system is not intended for 3-D games, midlevel 3-D graphics, heavy-duty multitasking, or even marginally demanding business applications.

To store and transfer your data, the Presario S5010nx-b is equipped with a smallish 40 GB hard disk, a convenient 3.5-inch diskette drive, and a CD-RW drive that supports fast CD burning and playing but no DVD operations. The system features a variety of connectivity options, including serial and parallel ports, a 56K V.90 flex modem for low-speed communication, a high-speed 10-Mbps/100-Mbps Ethernet network port for high-speed LAN and Internet access, and a half-dozen high-speed USB 2.0 ports for plug and play peripherals. Compaq has not included a FireWire port (normally used for fast data downloads from digital camcorders). A 17-inch monitor and a pair of JBL-designed desktop speakers complete the hardware package.
