My name is Martin Scholes. I like writing reviews on Ciao. I am married, we have a cockatiel and a cat. And a growing African Grey. Who orders the cat around!
The keyboard is easy to use, although it could, perhaps, do with being a little bit bigger and perhaps it is a bit too springy for my liking. Although I am told that I still type as if I am using my old Imperial Model T Good Companion portable typewriter. And perhaps there is some truth in this!
The Presario is easy to operate. Although I feel that it would be better to have four, rather than two USB ports on the machine. Operating a printer, using a USB modem (for ADSL) downloading from a camera and using a USB mouse as I do means constant juggling around of USB devices. Or using extra USB ports.
The Presario is not very light so is a little less portable than it might be and does tend to drag on the shoulder if carried for any length of time.
There are a wide variety of Presario's available, even within the same model number, so you do need to ensure that you get exactly what you want in terms of processor type and speed, etc.
A useful website to look at is www.compaq.co.uk which will help you through the options that are available.
There's also a link available from your Presario laptop at http://h18027.www1.hp.com/athome/international/uk/mypresario/ which is also a useful site, but perhaps more so when you have bought a Presario.
