I have to admit I didn't even know Compaq Presarios were made any more - figured that was over once HP acquired Compaq. Shows what I know. *g* In any case, I had a Compaq Presario .. oh, some 10 years ago, and it was quite OK. And it was always considered a rather respectable brand, I think; not the absolute top, but decent everyday computers.
The specs look decent. It will certainly be more than good enough for Internet browsing, picture editing and any Office applications. Although I don't know how Windows 7 will work with any older programs you might have and want to run on it.
Just make sure the warranty's good. If it has any serious issues, those tend to show up right away. Not that longevity could ever be promised - any computer part can fail or just wear out in a few years. :-S
