College Notebook, May 25, 2005
This review is from: Compaq Presario V2205US 14" Laptop (Intel Celeron M Processor 350 (Centrino), 512 MB RAM, 60 GB Hard Drive, DVD/CD-RW Drive) (Personal Computers)
This wasn't the exact notebook i was planning on getting, but some relatives pitched in and gave it to me as a graduation present. I was worried about the celeron processor, but i've been pleasantly surprised with the speed and portability of the system. It's a solid little machine thats going to work perfectly for a traveling college student. It doesn't play any real games that require a big video card, but then again, big PC games need to be played on a desktop, which I use in conjuntion with this notebook. I recommend it. 6-cell battery lasts around 1:40 mins, so i'm getting, and recommend getting the 12 cell, which is around $180.00, and will help in it's portability. The size and weight are fantastic, and it's one of the best looking notebooks i've seen, comparable and in some respects surpassing the Sony Vaio lineup. The intergrated wireless is also top rate. I pick up signals that other notebooks of similar cost can't. It's actually quite strong and reliable, and easy to use, which is always a plus. So, overall this is a stable notebook thats worth the money, which isn't that bad in comparison to other laptops out there.
