Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Designed to appeal to users who can't afford or don't require a cutting-edge machine, Compaq's Presario 2100US series of notebooks features budget-conscious processors such as AMD's Athlon and Intel's Celeron. This model, the Presario 2170US Notebook PC, lacks popular modern amenities such as DVD burning and high-speed USB 2.0 and IEEE 1394 FireWire connectivity ports, yet will efficiently run common mid-level home, home office and leisure applications.
Driving the Presario 2170US is a 2.0 GHz Intel Celeron processor, 256 MB memory (expandable to 1024 MB) and an ATI Mobility Radeon 4X AGP graphics chipset with 64 MB shared (not dedicated) memory. As such, it is clearly not intended as a portable gaming rig or a master of complex business applications. Sharing the data storage duties is an adequate 40 GB hard disk and a DVD/CD-RW combo drive through which you can burn and play audio CDs, archive data and watch your favorite movies.
The unit is equipped with a large XGA TFT 15-inch display screen capable of crystal clear 1024 by 768 resolution. Other features include two conventional USB 1.1 ports for plug and play peripheral connections, an 88-key keyboard, a Touch Pad with on/off and dedicated up/down scroll surface, and a pair of internal stereo speakers. Communication options include a 56K modem for low-speed Internet and email access and a high-speed RJ-45 LAN network connector.
At 12.96 by 10.72 by 1.57 inches and 7.25 pounds, the Presario 2170US is slightly below average size and therefore comfortably portable. Bundled software features Microsoft Works 7.0, Microsoft Money 2003, and Intervideo's Win DVD DVD player.

This review is from: Compaq Presario 2170US Laptop (2.0-GHz Celeron, 256 MB RAM, 40 GB Hard Drive,DVD/CD-RW Drive) (Personal Computers)
I was given this computer for college 3 years ago. It didn't give me any trouble for the first 2 years, but after that the trouble came: I had to replace the whole hard drive and just a month ago, the connection between the monitor and the computer worsened because of opening and closing the top. Also, the computer's fan makes a LOT of noise whenever you use for more than 10 minutes.

i have alot computers around the house,all AMD based got this thing for christmas,and was scared to even turn it on because of the celeron,this is my 2nd notebook and my 1st on was AMD.well after a couple of hours i figure what the hell turned it on and holymolly this thing rocks,even blows my AMD 2.0 ghz desktop out of the water.did some searching and found that the new celerons are basicly a p4 with L2 cut down instead of 512 it has 256kb.i have always used AMD's but now when i build my next system it will be intel celeron or p4.if they would ratings,say 10 id give it 15.

I've had this laptop for a month and it is perfect for my needs. I left XP Home on the disk and also added Linux. The video quality is beautiful; I've played DVDs on it while traveling. The touchpad is easy to use.
