Compaq Presario Laptop
The Compaq Presario is HP’s budget laptop series that is available
online from multiple vendors and also in retail stores. Current Presario’s are a fairly basic laptop and HP currently only offers a handful of Presario laptops for interested buyers. If you are a basic user looking for a great bang for your buck, the Presario may be a great match for you. If you use your laptop for more than web browsing and word processing, and additionally want a laptop that will last you years to come, you may want to look elsewhere however. The Presario is fairly comparable to Dell’s lower priced business class Vostro 1000 15.4-inch laptops, though the Dell is intended for businesses instead of consumers looking for a value solution of course. Moving onto other details, the Presario we tested got fairly decent battery life, especially for the value nature of the laptop. Another thing we liked was the feel of the keyboard and the convenient buttons to turn off the touchpad and wireless. Also worth noting was the build quality of the Presario for we felt it was pretty sturdy despite its low priced origin. Overall we feel the Compaq Presario is only for the most basic laptop user looking for a great bang for the buck. There are similar options out there around the same price range from other manufacturers without the Presario’s shortcomings so we can’t quite recommend it for every buget minded consumer however. But either way you go, the Presario is still a
decent
laptop for the money and if you fit the basic user profile, you may
