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...

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.
-^- Background Information -^-
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...

Advantages: After Sales Product Support Disadvantages: Unwanted Pre-Installed Software
...Fast, reliable, good looks, stable ... to mention a few, but enough about me, I`m here to talk about the CompaqPresario 6097EA. Ah, who am I kidding, course I mean the PC.
I have had it for about 6 months now and is an upgrade from a CompaqPresario 2292 which I had for about 4 years. Yes, that`s the downside, 4 years ago I had a state-of-the-art machine and nowadays it just doesn`t cut the mustard. Here`s a list of what you are going to get for your money:
*Intel Pentium 4 2.2ghz processor
Should suffice for even the most intensive applications! This can be upgraded in the future as it is removable. It also comes with a good fan mounted directly on top of it to keep it nice and cool.
*256mb PC2100 DDR RAM
DDR ram is the new standard for RAM these days. As I am writing this from the top of my head and do not wish to inundate...
