Advantages: GOOD GRAPHICS, good for businesses

Disadvantages: sound could be better, keep the cd drive quiet!!!

When I first strode in ot the room and glared down at the little machine humming away on my desk, I thought, what a little machine.
Indeed, the compaq en deskpro is quite a small machine, and it has many advantages, yet, like many things in the commercial world, it has its faults aswell.
The computer would be ideal for a company because of its grat networking capabilities.
The machine is easy to upgrade and repare aswell, because the cover comes off with a touch of a button.
I also noticed that there was no "restart" button on the machine, maybe this was meant for a purpose, though it would have been more useful, as with some software programs computers do crash.
The overall noise of the computer is quite low, and it stand by mode the computer is completly silent, however, for some strange reason, the dreaded cd-rom drive starts making that annoying whissss sound it makes for time to time....
The speed of the pc, of course depends on the model, but compaq are very reliable at delivring a good speed pc.
One of the faults is the floppy drive, i dont know why, but compaqs tned to eat for floppy diskes so that they get broken....
Sound is good enough, I think this range come with top quality internal speakers that are crisp and sharp.
When playing games, you can really see a difference between playing on a en series because quite simply the speed and the sheer quality of the graphics. They just like the tv, and the faster modems allow fast gameplay over the internet.
I can understand why this computer was built for networking in buisnesses, because of the design of it.
Overall, the quality of the macine is exceptiona, and it excells in all areas.
This pc will clearly last you for atleast 3 years as a home user, and even then you can have it up graded!!!
The customer service of compaq are reliable and they are easy to get in touch with.
In conclusion, a great machine, with its faults.
My Rating: 8/10

(I HOPE THIS REVIEW HAS HELPED YOU MAKE YOUR DECISION!!)
