- Pros
Speedy for a cheap PC. Good bang for the buck. More expandable than a nettop or small form factor desktop.
- Cons
Weak integrated graphics. Only 60-day subscription to Norton Internet Security. No media card slots. Bloatware.
- Bottom Line
If you want to pay nettop prices for a higher-end multimedia performance from your PC, take a look at the Compaq Presario CQ5210f. It gives you the full multimedia computing power you want, yet comes in at under $400 (without monitor).
The Compaq Presario CQ5210f ($390 list) is the computer to buy if you want a cheap, powerful sub $400 desktop PC. Available at Staples, it is priced like a nettop, yet has scads more power from a 2.7GHz dual core AMD Athlon II X2 processor, which could come in handy if you like to retouch your family's snapshots or actually edit and transcode home videos so you can put them on your iPhone. It's more multimedia-capable than any Intel Atom-powered system at the same price. It's more expandable than an all in one nettop or small form factor PC, has a full sized hard drive and optical drive, and undoubtedly looks like a desktop PC, which is comforting to certain buyers. If you're ready for a new inexpensive PC, but need more than a low-powered all-in-one nettop, take a look at the Windows 7-equipped CQ5210f. It has a great balance between power, features, and price, thus earning it our Editors' Choice award for entry-level desktop PCs.

Design and Features
The CQ5210f sits in the same mini tower-style case as the CQ5110f, the previous version of Compaq's price-leading desktop. All of the absolutely necessary features are there: VGA port, six USB 2.0 ports, DVD burner, and a motherboard with some expansion room. The CQ5210f has plenty of room for PCI/PCIe card expansion—space for a PCI card, PCIe x1 card, and a PCIe x16 graphics card. However, since it is a budget deesktop, it isn't quite as expandable in other areas as its 'cousin' the HP Pavilion p6207c-b: The CQ5210f has only two filled system memory DIMM slots (as opposed to the p6707c-b's four), 250 Watt Power supply (vs. the p6207c-b's 300W), and also lacks the p6207c-b's free second hard drive bay.
Drivers For Compaq Presario Cq60
On the whole, these issues are acceptable in a cheap desktop, since those considering it are unlikely to upgrade their systems beyond a wireless networking card (maybe). Any other peripherals like external hard drives can be hooked up to the Compaq's six USB 2.0 ports. The system is perfectly capable of operating with 3GB of memory in Windows 7, even if HP put the 64-bit version on this system. There's almost no drawback to using 64-bit vs. 32-bit for most users, HP likely put 64-bit on all their new systems to save costs on developing and supporting HP programs and drivers for Windows 7 32-bit. (A few older peripherals like scanners or digital cameras/camcorders may not work with Windows 7 64-bit, you may need to check on the manufacturer's Website to get updated drivers or workarounds for these products.)
The CQ5210f has a bunch of Compaq bloatware on it: those extra added programs that you never asked for, but get anyway. The extraneous shortcuts for eBay, Snapfish (a photo service owned by HP), offers for dial-up Internet (NetZero, Juno, MSN), and My HP Games (by WildTangent) all provide a subsidy for the PC's low price. The system's Norton Internet Security subscription is a little short (60-day): I'd rather see at least 12 to15 months packed in, like Dell does with its build-to-order Inspiron 546 systems. Last but not least, Microsoft Office 2007 60-day Trial is present, but at least it's not pre-installed (you have to run the installer program to use it, which helps cleanup if you choose not to use it). These bloatware programs help keep the system's price low, but they also mean that you will need to spend some time cleaning them off your system if you don't want them there, perhaps a task better left to someone who knows which programs are bloatware.
Performance
The CQ5210f performs pretty well for a dual-core value system: it finished the Windows Media Encoder test in just over one minute (1:02) and the PhotoShop CS4 test in 2:51. This is an improvement over the CQ5110f (1:09 and 3:32, respectively). It certainly outshines single-core nettops like the ASUS Eee Box and MSI Wind CS120, which couldn't complete either test. It also outperforms our Editors' Choice nettop, the Lenovo C300, which took over 3 minutes for WME and almost 7 minutes for CS4. The CQ5210f is fast enough for occasional multimedia use, for example if you like to convert your photos to black and white for an old-timey feel, or if you occasionally take the scratches out of a scanned picture. The CQ5210f is also better than a nettop if you convert the occasional video from one format into another (like converting a downloaded YouTube video to iPod format or vice versa). The CQ5210f's Nvidia GeForce 6150se integrated graphics are adequate for simple Web surfing duties, but stay away from DX10 3D games like Crysis and World in Conflict; you can't play them.
The CQ5210f is more expandable and more powerful than sub $500 nettop competitors like the ASUS Eee Box, MSI Wind CS120, and Lenovo C300, and makes more sense for someone who wants to do 'just a little more' than simple Web consumption and can afford the extra physical space. The CQ5210f 's added volume gives it space 'under the hood' for a few PCIe card upgrades like wireless networking, TV tuner cards, or other add-in cards.

The small form factor (SFF) HP Pavilion Slimline s5120f is less expandable than the Compaq, but takes up less physical space. The CQ5210f has more PCIe slots and optical drive expansion room, and has about the same performance (and bloatware), for a similar price. The closest competitor we've looked at recently is the eMachines ET-1131-02, with the same processor, and graphics. The CQ5210f has a much larger hard drive (500GB vs. 320GB), but has a little less memory (3GB vs. 4GB). You're more likely to run out of hard drive space than miss the additional 1GB of memory in this case. Since both run so close on the benchmark tests, I'd give the edge to the CQ5210f. Plus, the Compaq is $210 less expensive, which still holds (just) if you budget $170 for a monitor.
If this system sounds like the Compaq CQ5110f, our previous entry-level Editors' Choice, that's by design. The CQ5210f is essentially an updated system with a newer processor and Windows 7 instead of Vista. The CQ5210f is a worthy update to the CQ5110f, and as such the CQ5210f earns (and replaces the CQ5110f) as our Editors' Choice for entry-level desktops.
