| Great specs and performance for the price. System is very responsive and I haven't had a hiccup yet. Only thing missing for me would be an integrated webcam and dedicated graphics memory but you get what you pay for and those features usually cost extra. |
Great PC at great price

I do a lot of writing, email, and a little video work. This machine is perfect. There's a wide screen, so that I can see two pages when working on a book page layout. It's very fast compared with my old Pentium 4 laptop. The biggest question to ask is what you want out of your laptop. If you want high end fast gaming, this is not your PC. If you want quick word processing, email, facebook, etc... this one's incredible. I got this on sale at Staple's this week for $349, which is a crazy low price and I'm thrilled. As the earlier reviewer noted, MS Office is not included. I really don't know of any computers where it's included. There is a 60 day trial of Office 2007. If you want office, pick up the home and student edition at the same time you buy the computer for around $79-$99.
Things in the computer world move fast. A year or so ago, this laptop would have rated at the top of the rankings for speed, memory, HD Size, etc. Now, it's lower in the rankings. So what? It's still a very fast computer at an incredible price and will serve my needs well over the coming 3-5 years.
Hope this helps :-) |
Best value anywhere

I picked this up in Staples in July for $350.00. Features for the price is simply unbeatable anywhere. This machine with a Pentium dual core T4200 was actually less than Celeron machines. My advice: never buy a celeron. You can almost always find a dual core, pentium or AMD, for the same or less if you're patient. This Compaq cost the same or less than some netbooks. I bought a similar dual core Compaq for my daughter last year and she's had no problems, so I anticipate good reliability with this unit. The touchpad is nice, with a scroll feature on one side. However, I hate touchpads. Buy a logitec nano wireless mouse. Plug in the tiny USB antenna and instant sinc whenever you turn the mouse on. I like that this laptop comes with the 32 bit system. I can actually play Halflife on it and it runs great! Windows 7 upgrade is free.
Cons: no web cam or external mike or dedicated graphics card. |
Best bang for the buck

| This is the best computer for the price. I'm extremely happy with it. I love the keyboard texture and the 10-key. The touch pad and 15" screen are even better. I would recommend this to anyone who's looking to buy a great computer with decent speed and great video for under $500. |
