3.0 out of 5 stars
Good for office, not games.,
By Farren (California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Compaq Presario 3050US Laptop (3.06-GHz Pentium 4, 512 MB RAM, 60 GB Hard Drive, DVD/CD-RW Drive) (Personal Computers)
Ok, I bought this laptop before I knew anything about comps. I wasn't even thinking about the integrated video card because it was my graduation present and i just chose the best comp from some flyer.
I can multi-task fine. I can't play wolfenstein - Enemy territory. I can play older games such as Unreal, blood, starcraft, even warcraft III FINE without much lag. Just not the newer games. Plays web games lightning fast. I enjoy playing online games at http://www.venusarcade.com with this laptop, it has no problems with any of the games at VenusArcade.com, runs great. Most compaq laptops have a major flaw: The AC input plug in the back BREAKS frequently. If you want to avoid hundreds of dollars for a SIMPLE $12 soldering job I have done myself _TWICE_ then don't buy this laptop. Another bad thing about this is there's this HUGE wire bundle inside that gets in the way of everything if you open it up to fix it. It takes so much effort to snuggly place it back so that you can actually close the thing. Get an Apple iBook or VIAO or something better. Dell And Compaq laptops have frequent AC adapter plug in breakage. The soldered joint has all the stress on it when you plug the ac adapter in and out of the back, so it breaks after a little while of use. The processor is fast, even for today.. and this laptop is more than 2 years old. Overall this is a great laptop, although the problems mentioned would make it a living nightmare for the average user. |
