5.0 out of 5 stars Great Value Priced Laptop! Highly Recommended!, February 15, 2009

This review is from: Compaq Presario CQ60-210US 15.6-Inch Laptop (Personal Computers)

The Compaq Presario CQ60-210US is a very nice, feature rich laptop for home or student use. I was truely impressed with ease of setup, which took about 15 minutes from opening the box and connecting the battery.

This is a rather large laptop and it is somewhat heavy, but not unreasonably so. Here are my observations:

* Large 15.6" screen is very sharp
* Keyboard includes a numeric keypad
* Good sized Hard Drive
* DL DVD RW
* Fast Processor (beats the heck out of my old ACER)
* Lots of RAM (expandable to 4GB)
* 3 USB ports
* Built in Wi-Fi support
* Built in Eathernet
* Built in Modem (but why? :-)
* Built in 5-1 Memory Card reader

Note that this laptop does not have any card expansion slots! This isn't a problem for me, but might be an issue for those wanting to add Firewire or other non-included (like DV) support.

The system scored a respectable 3.8 on the Windows performance scale, which is fairly good for a laptop.

Overall, I am very pleased with Presario CQ60-210US! Highly Recommended!

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Compaq Presario CQ60-210US 15.6-Inch Laptop (Personal Computers)

This was a replacement laptop for a 2 yr old compaq and is a much better machine. It is large for a laptop, has a great screen, and has given me no problems. I loaded 2007 Office Suite on this. It is a very fast machine. Shipping from Amazon was quick and easy. I later found the same machine at the same price at a local Staples but since Amazon did not charge for shipping I came out the same. Look through the laptop literature carefully - there is reference to an extended accidental damage warranty that can be purchased online for slightly over $100 a year. It is a good idea if the laptop is going to travel around or be used by a younger person. You can make restore disks one time - it takes 3 DVDs or about 17 CDs. Best to do this right away after purchase and store in a safe place. If I had done that last time I might have been able to save my previous laptop. It will take about an hour and well worth the trouble.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good machine...with just a different key board layout..., February 18, 2009

This review is from: Compaq Presario CQ60-210US 15.6-Inch Laptop (Personal Computers)

I bought this one, with a 4GB RAM, from Staples, during their President's Day 2009 Sale.

The machine is very capable, comes with AMD Athelon X2 (Core 2 Duo type) processor, a whopping 4 GB RAM, NVidia Graphics card etc. It also comes with a 64 bit Windows Vista HOME PREMIUM. So thats much better than the Vista Home Basic.

The only thing different with this machine is its key board layout. Since it has a saperate number key-pad, the keys for Pageup, Page Down, Arrow Keys, Insert, Delete etc are either small or on some other location. That takes some time to get used to.

* Large 15.6" screen is very sharp
* Keyboard includes a numeric keypad
* Good sized Hard Drive
* DL DVD RW
* Fast Processor
* Lots of RAM (4GB)
* 3 USB ports
* Built in Wi-Fi support
* Built in Eathernet
* Built in Modem (in case you still live in old days :-)
* Built in 5-1 Memory Card reader

It has a 15.6 inch screen and comes with direct DVD playback. So its easy to watch movies on this laptop.

Overall, this machine is a wonderful machine for home and small business purposes.

Hope this helps!
