The only downfall of a superb machine is the material used to form the main body. The body is made of a shiny plastic material. This is a poor decision made by Compaq as this material is easily dirtied and smudged. Although an annoying and persistent problem, it can be easily rectified by cleaning the whole body with spectacle lens cleaning wipes a few times a month.
The battery can last for about 2 hours on full power and 5-10 on 'Power Saver' mode. Energy consumption can be regulated by the user and new power regulating plans can be created.
The V6000 is truly one of the best laptops on the market - allowing the user to use just about any program in any location.
