| alanbweaver's Full Review: Compaq Presario 5365 |
Their customer service is terrible, I've been on the phone for hours with them to fix problems. Twice my hard drive crashed! And once my floppy crashed. This is totally and completely unacceptable.
This computer is designed for the casual home user. If you need the pc and do a lot of work on it or do some power stuff on it like graphics, etc., this is NOT the computer for you!
It overheats (small cpu) which causes the hard drive to melt down. Make sure you keep backups of programs, documents, and files. Otherwise, you're in big trouble!
The computer (when it works) is okay. However, I've had nothing but mechanical problems with it since the day I got it. I had one at work and thought this was a good choice, it wasn't. It has been a nightmare and I have since replaced with a generic computer from a local dealer. This machine has been wonderful and I saved about 30% and the service is fantastic!
