3.0 out of 5 stars
a simple home PC, not much more,
By
This review is from: Compaq Presario SR1420NX Desktop PC (Intel Celeron D Processor 340, 512 MB RAM, 80 GB Hard Drive, Dbl Layer 16X DVD+/-RW Drive) (Personal Computers)
I've had this PC for more than a month. And have been largely satisfied, with a few caveats. This is not a high-end machine, and I'd recommend considering it only if all you want from your PC is regular home use - browsing, some music etc.
I've attached a Dell 19" monitor to it, as well as a wireless keyboard + mouse set from Microsoft (by the way, I highly recommend getting a such a wireless accessory set, it lets me browse from my couch). The RAM will not make for gaming nor much intensive use. And I reckon the bus speeds aren't great either, because often I have to wait a little for the PC to respond when using multiple applications. The DVD-CD writer is a plus, so is having 9 kinds of card readers, though either is available readily in the market. Compaq has installed some annoying software (ok maybe they're useful but I'm not a good fan of them yet). My other complaint is that the system clock seems to fall behind by a few minutes, I'm guessing it's due to low battery. I'm hoping speaking to Compaq about it will help. All in all, decent for home use. I have a work laptop too, so was looking something for moderate browsing needs, and this fits the bill. When I was looking around, I found this deal to be cheaper than a comparable Dell. Putting it together took hardly any effort, and I haven't had other trouble with the software. |
