Suggest you look in some of the PC Mag archives. I have a few years worth of PC Mags, and I don't recall any CPQ desktop system turning in performance scores even in the top 3 systems reviewed in any given roundup. Generally those top performers are Dell, Micron, a Gateway or Quantex here and there, and then the little-known PC vendors often have a machine in the top 3. Probably at some point CPQ has had a top-3 performer, maybe with some of their P300 or P333 systems, but I don't remember any offhand. I do like the looks of the Presario desktop line though. Looks classy. As for laptops, unfortunately the CPQs have been very middling performers. That's unfortunate, because I really like the Presario laptop line, and in fact have been thinking of buying one. That all said, I've heard that CPQ makes top quality monitors, in the class of Sony and NEC.
