Better than Dell [Posted on 2006-10-06]
My Dell computer died so I ordered another one ($1,200) from Dell but delivery was in several weeks and I realized I could not be without a computer that long so I went shopping for something cheap that would carry me over and I ended up with a SR1720NX. After using both I now find I much prefer the Presario. I have not used the double side DVD record feature yet but it is nice to have and the LightScribe feature is fabulous. I am so satisfied with the Presario that Dell has seen the last of my money. I am hard of hearing and the Dell is just not loud enough but the Presario knocks my head off with its volume. It is also a good bit smaller than my Dell which is nice. The only thing bad about the Presario is that it did not come with enough memory but I have ordered more. I even like the keyboard better on the Presario; it has a lot more features and seems more rugged. Next time I need a new computer it will be Compaq/HP
Too much junk software installed. [Posted on 2006-12-05]
This machine comes bogged down with junk games and trialware that makes it run like a snail. It takes hours to remove all of this stuff, and then you have to run a registry cleaner/optimizer to get decent performance.
It comes with no recovery disks, and I was never able to get the Compaq
utility that allows you one CD backup to work. You can get a set of recovery disks from Compaq for $22.95, but these will restore the machine to the junked up condition that it was shipped. I've contacted both MS and Compaq in the hopes of buying a simple XP install disk. Not available!!
It seems pretty sound hardware wise, except for having the loudest fan I've ever heard on a new PC.
