Johannesburg, May 9, 2001 - South Africa's premiere gaming and PC entertainment magazine, PC Format has awarded its Gold Award to the Compaq Presario 5WV396 PC.
In the words of PC Format's editor, Mars Mlodzinski, "?there is nothing we could find wrong with this machine and it comes highly recommended. If you are looking for a power machine that's going to be with you for the next 2 years or more, then look no further because you've found your baby."
Mars called the Presario "?a pretty damn decent gaming machine?". He also maintained that "?there's nothing this machine can't handle." As for the Presario's new look, Mars maintained that "?it gives the machine an element of class."
Thanks, Mars, we aim to please.
