Compaq Presario CQ5210F


$390.00 Released October, 2009

Product Shot 1 The Pros:Runs stable for a long time, hard to get it to crash. Can handle applications and web pages all at once without lagging. Solid construction of the case keeps everything safe and secure.

The Cons:Have to go through a registry process when you turn it on, can't just plug it in and start working. Doesn't come with a wireless card, either need to use wired Ethernet or install a wireless card yourself.

The Compaq Presario CQ5210F is an entry-level Windows 7 desktop featuring a 2.7GHz AMD Athlon dual-core processor, 3GB of RAM, and a 500GB SATA hard-disc drive. It boasts enough room for plenty of PCI/PCI-e card expansion, but only hosts two DIMM slots (which are already full), only one hard-drive bay, and a relatively weak 250W power supply.

Where to Buy

Included are Nvidia GeForce 6150se integrated graphics, which are sufficient for web-browsing and basic-level games, but definitely not strong enough to handle recently released (2009+) high-definition video games or films. Additional features include a DVD burner, standard Ethernet, and a modem for just in case.
