Compaq Presario CQ61-401SA Laptop PC (15.6-inch Display, Windows 7 Home Premium, Intel Pentium T4400 Processor, 4 GB DDR2 RAM, 320 GB SATA HDD, 802.11 b/g/n Networking, Intel GMA 4500M Graphics) Review
Product Description
Generally great.
Like the previous reviewer, I have not had a compaq before but needed a new laptop and this one was in the right price bracket for my wallet. It comes pre-loaded with Windows 7 and, I have to say, I have had no problems with connecting my peripherals to it - it automatically finds the software necessary to run it and downloads.
The laptop itself is lightweight and the battery life is good - although when it starts to get low, it does use the last few percent of battery life very quickly.
I had no problems connecting to my internet modem and have not had any issues with connection at all.
The in-built webcam is great for SKYPE chats and facebook photos.
It has a 5 in 1 card reader and HDMI output which is great when I want/need to connect it to my HD-TV to view photos etc, although the screen is brilliantly clear by itself.
I really like the fact that it has a numeric keypad as this is a feature that I found to be lacking in my previous laptops.
3 USB...

Review 1 : A Little Gem
I've never owned a Compaq product before, so I was a bit apprehensive about how reliable it was going to be. However, when I received the product, this was nothing to be worried about, as it behaved well and was as quick as a blink at everything! It has the latest Windows 7 (which is awesome as you can have gadgets, design your own wallpaper and customize everything),it is great to carry around and has a super battery life and looks great, because it has a piano black finish and some nice silver edges.
I would recommend this notebook/laptop to anyone in need of somewhere to word process, surf the web and have fun in style. It has an integrated web cam, great if you have an account on Skype, Windows Live or Facebook. The internet is super speedy and I had no trouble at all setting it up with my wireless connection, because the laptop/notebook pretty much does everything for you. This is a great piece of technology.
Review 2 : Great value and easy to install
Great performance, very fast, wireless connectivity is excellent, and it was stunningly easy to get it set up. This last point may sound trivial, but having set up half a dozen other laptops for family members in the last year or so - Dell, Toshiba, Macbook, and a couple of Acers - this was by far the easiest. It comes with minimal (but sufficient) instructions for everything you actually need, and there is none of the usual bloated pre-install of packages and games that seem to be the norm with other manufacturers.
It won't win any beauty prizes but the only thing I'm really not wild about is the giant letter on the top, and I can't knock off a star just for that.
