Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
As the most powerful notebook in Compaq’s midlevel 2100 line of mobile computers, the Presario 2110US blends reliability with a hint of high-end performance. It’s quite portable too, at 12.96 by 10.72 by 1.57 inches and a mere 7.24 pounds. If state-of-the-art speed isn’t a necessity but smooth and dependable operation is, the cost-effective Presario 2110US is a wise choice.
Driven by a 1.67 GHz Mobile AMD Athlon XP 2000 CPU, 512 MB of DDR SDRAM, and a 64 MB (shared) ATI Mobility Radeon graphics chipset, the Presario 2110US will efficiently run most common notebook applications. Its roomy 60 GB hard disk is spacious enough for a full complement of business and leisure software, and its DVD/CD-RW drive is ready to help you burn and play audio CDS, archive data, and watch your favorite movies. The system will not, however, allow you to record to DVD media.
Compaq has equipped the Presario 2110US with several multimedia-related perks, including an oversized 15-inch XGA TFT display capable of detailed 1,024 x 768 screen resolutions, a 16-bit Sound Blaster Pro-compatible audio chip, and a set of internal stereo speakers. The system also features a full-size 88-key keyboard with embedded numeric keypad, a touchpad with on/off button, and a dedicated vertical scroll-up/-down pad.
Other amenities include two USB 1.1 ports for plug-and-play peripherals, S-Video and VGA outs for external displays and television links, an RJ-45 Ethernet jack for fast network and Internet interaction, and a built-in 56K modem for low-speed e-communication. Camcorder owners and anyone else who desires fast data transfer with external peripherals should note the system does not sport high-speed USB 2.0 or IEEE 1394 ports.
Pre-installed software includes Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, Microsoft Works 6.0, Intuit’s Quicken Financial Center, and Microsoft Money 2003.

I wasn't sure at first, but WOW....,
By A Customer
This review is from: Compaq Presario 2110US Laptop (1.67 GHz Athlon 2000+, 512MB RAM, 60GB hard drive) (Personal Computers)
I had a Presario 710 notebook and I decided I would like to upgrade as the 710 was beginning to be to slow for my work (programming). I spent a few weeks looking around to find the best deal on a good notebook without spending $2000. The 2110 is a NICE machine. I finally choose that one after debating 3 notebooks. This machine will play Warcraft 3 with all the graphics/video cranked all the way up!!! I did some tweaks to WinXP Pro and the machine now boots in 30 seconds from power to start bar and shuts down in 15 or less. The 710 would get so hot you could cook eggs on it, this machine stays pretty decently cool.With a 60 GB HD, 512 megs of ram and 64 megs (shared) for video and a DVD/CD-RW you can't go wrong. So far I am very happy with my purchase and I would recoment anyone else in the market to consider this machine on their list.

Works OK, but....,

This review is from: Compaq Presario 2110US Laptop (1.67 GHz Athlon 2000+, 512MB RAM, 60GB hard drive) (Personal Computers)
In general performance is OK.
Touchpad mouse buttons have always been a bit flaky. Sometimes pick up taps that never occurred. Not a huge problem but irritating. BIG PROBLEM - the AC adapter plugs on these machines are mounted on the motherboard itself. They are notorious for getting loose. Unless you can find someone willing to try precision soldering - it CANNOT BE REPAIRED. Soldering is a problem because there is a high risk of overheating other components next to the power jack on the motherboard and making the board totally inoperable. If you take one into any big name repair shop (e.g., CompUSA), the only repair they can offer is to replace the motherboard. The price of JUST a new motherboard is at least $400. Add the labor costs and you have now spent more than the machine is worth. If you are thinking of buying one of these used, I'd recommend against it. UPDATE ** UPDATE Found a place to repair the power connector on my motherboard. Laptop Rescuer in Santa Clara, CA. Works good as new. Only cost $150. Much cheaper than buying another laptop.

The Acer USB port disconnects when copying images from some camera. This is one of the main things I wanted to use it for. Tech support stepped me through a few updates, but was unsuccessful in helping me.
