    4 Stars excellent for the price, but wont win awards 21/07/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages numeric keypad, great screen, HD output

    Disadvantages Disadvantages battery life

    hello folks, i bought a refurbished compaq presario cq60 (to give it the full title) about 3 months ago, and i love it. it does everything i need it to do and a little bit more, bit reading between the lines will let the more astute readers realize i don't need it to do a hell of a lot. my basic usage includes: word processing, general internet use, playing movies/music, downloading movies/music and perhaps a little bit of photo shopping images (to give me the baywatch physique). DISPLAY the laptop comes with a 15.6 inch display, which is 0.2 inches bigger than a standard laptop. not a huge ... more

    4 Stars There is better 03/02/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages fast and efficient

    Disadvantages Disadvantages not good if you need to transport it round lots.

    BACKGROUND INFORMATION. Brought this about a year ago for my mum, found that its very easy for her to use which is a good thing as thats what we asked for. The products that come with the computer are really good it has loads of games on that you can play, it has build in webcam, the one I got came with windows vista and AMD athlon x2 64, its HDMI. The running of the laptop is very quick and efficient, it only takes a few minutes to load up when you turn it on and sign in, and assessing the internet and games and word processer and all the other functions on the laptop are all very quick to ... more

    5 Stars Good Laptop for basic use 01/09/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good basic laptop for internet use, youtube, and word processing

    Disadvantages Disadvantages quite heavy and not as easy to carry around.

    This is a good laptop that I purchased from Tesco for £299.00, so far it has proved to be a good machine and I am certainly very happy with it. It's easy to set up - just turn it on and follow the on screen instructions. It does take about half an hour though before its set up and ready to use. I have found the laptop to be fairly fast, its great for internet browsing and youtube, I have also loaded a couple of games onto it and they run nicely, although its worth noting that this isn't really a gaming laptop! I mostly enjoy it for the internet, it is reliable and allows me to do word ... more

    5 Stars Compaq Presario CQ60-212EM: Compaq Presario CQ60 27/06/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Excellent Value for Money; Will suit most users' needs

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Battery Life is Poor ; Heavy

    The Compaq Presario 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 ... more

    4 Stars Perfect for travelling, excellent graphics, generally no problems 28/06/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Generally durable, seems to keep its speed, excellent graphics

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Lack of Bluetooth, HDMI Port does not work, Hinges on screen require care

    First of all, I purchased this as a laptop specifically with a separate graphics card so I could use some graphics heavy applications during a training course. The aim was for it to be portable between my classes my house and to be able to store all of my software and notes. So far I have had it 3 years and there are very few things I can fault it on. Even after clogging it up with software it is still very fast to boot, the wifi connects very quickly and at a good range. The screen is a perfect size to be portable and still be useful for notes, with split screen being a real option in these ... more
