The HP Compaq Presario SR5610F is part of the HP's Compaq Presario SR line of budget-price PCs. Like most SR models, the SR5610F is a no-frills model that costs less than $500. Its capable handling of basic daily computing tasks (Web browsing, archiving CDs, e-mailing, standard office productivity) can make for a decent student PC or second home computer. But at this low price point, where bang-for-the-buck is king and competition is fierce, HP doesn't give you quite enough—or at least not as much as similarly priced offerings from Lenovo, Dell, and eMachines.
