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.

| cjstarre's Full Review: Compaq Presario 5888 (153314-004) PC Desktop |
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 system that I would recommend to my clients and friends. I have build many computers over the years, but after I read and tested this new AMD Athlon Processor, I actually went out and bought one. The price I paid was around $2100.00, a bit pricey for the average computer user, but I said what the heck. I can say one thing, I do not regret my purchase at all.
One of the best features besides the unbelievable speed for normal tasks, I cannot believe the speed it flys over the Internet. I feel like I doubled my connection speed, even though it is only at 56k.
I love the inclusion of a DVD player and a CD-RW drive. Two different drives, what a theory.
The 27Gig HD should last me at least a few months..hehe
128 Meg of Memory helps a lot.
They also include a Home Network product that allows you to connect multiple pc's in your household together and share one Internet connection.
There is plenty of expandability too.
If you want to buy a very nice system, this is one to look at.
