Product Description

Product Description

HP V6741US Compaq Presario Notebook PC. The Compaq Presario V6700 series Notebook PC delivers a striking design whose overall rectilinear shape is repeated in patterns throughout the system: the cut out speaker grill, the volume control, the vents on the bottom casing, even the pattern within the finish. A minimalist design made intricate with careful attention to detail. High gloss Imprint Finish encases the form and is more durable than traditional painted surfaces. It features an exclusive Trace pattern that resembles brushed steel and complements the clean design elements. And light up ports plus backlit touch sensitive panel controls add subtle sophistication. From the simple step by step setup through easy support tools with preinstalled Advisor, the V6700 series gets you up and keeps you running. And HP QuickPlay provides access to DVDs, videos, photos, music, karaoke, games and Internet TV at the touch of a button. Watch DVD movies on the full screen using simple media controls. Add music to your slide shows or videos with drag and drop functionality. Throw an impromptu karaoke party or play preinstalled games from leading brands. Find and stream media from universal plug and play devices such as Windows Media Connect. Simple entertainment is here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Downgrade Complete! :), May 11, 2008

I bought an HP with Vista and was shocked at how bad the computer worked. A year later it broke and I said "heck" with it and went back to an XP machine, which maybe is the last thing either of these two companies did well... btw Microsoft now says they WON'T be phasing out XP, thank Jeebus! ...They are so broken and lame, soon as Google makes an OS, I am so... :)


Oh yeah, the computer is awesome!! More features than my more expensive vista machine but can actually handle the load ;)

This pc laptop is like the HPs of old, good and durable. (FYI Compaq is HP product)

I never wrote a review. I am writing now because I am so upset with it. Well, maybe it's my fault that I didn't check the description thoroughly. I hope you will.
I bought this product simply because I am in urgent need of a machine with XP. I have considered ThinkPad but that'll take 3-4 weeks so that's not an option for me. The monitor resolution is only about 700x1000 (as I am using my other machine so I can't give you the exact numbers, pls check yourself). Can't believe such low resolution still exists today.
Machines with equivalent CPU, memory and slightly smaller hard disk and much better monitors) [...] would definitely cost less than 1000 bucks (including tax). [...]
So unless you are in urgent need of a XP machine like me, don't buy this -- you'll regret.

This seems to be a very nice laptop that worked as it should right out of the box. I have had no trouble installing my software and using the computer. And Amazon beat the competitor's price so I'm a happy customer.
