HP Compaq Presario SR5610F

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.

Dell Inspiron Mini 9

Once thought to be a dying breed, UMPCs (also known as netbooks) have hung around the laptop market and are finally gaining some momentum. As more people look for inexpensive, lightweight secondary laptops to fulfill basic computing needs like Web surfing and e-mail, they are turning toward UMPCs. Recognizing this trend, Dell joins the game with the Inspiron Mini 9 ($399 direct for XP version with E-Value code, regularly $474), sharing space with such systems as the ASUS EeePC 900, the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC , the Acer Aspire One, the MSI Wind, and the Lenovo IdeaPad S10. Despite all the time Dell has had to develop a great product, the final result isn't quite enough to overtake the MSI Wind, our Editors' Choice in this category.
