Advantages: Excellent Value for Money; Will suit most users' needs Disadvantages: Battery Life is Poor ; Heavy
The CompaqPresario CQ60 has proved to be very good value for money. I paid £380 in January '09 and it has worked perfectly since. The wireless has a good range and the screen quality is outstanding.
Everything else works how it should and the only real negative is a not-so-great battery life (approx 2 hrs on power saver).
All in all, good for games (mine has a separate graphics card - not sure if standard?), word processing, internet and general use.
One thing I particularly like is the larger screen size that results from having an integrated number pad on the keyboard. However the larger size does result in a heavy laptop.
As of yet I have had no technical issues what so ever with this laptop and I would most definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a laptop on a budget! Hope this was of some help!
Summary: Overall very good ...
Advantages: Decent for a first time user Disadvantages: Potential crashes, over heating

As a member of Ciao I?ve been looking to do reviews on objects I?ve had for a while. To try and really give an in depth review over things. Although I know the CompaqPresario 700 may not be on sale anymore this could be a review for people wanting to get it second hand from someone or buying on website etc.

I bought my laptop in September 2002. I?ve always wanted a laptop just for the actual feeling of owning one. However I went halfs on it with my parents as it was a necessary for me to have seeing as I was also starting university. In total the price was £900. Pricey it seemed but I wasn?t going over £1000. The actual one I wanted was sold out and I really didn?t want to leave without one so I took the CompaqPresario 700. In total I?ve had it for just over two years now ...
