 Generally great., 2010-07-15

Like the previous reviewer, I have not had a compaq before but needed a new laptop and this one was in the right price bracket for my wallet. It comes pre-loaded with Windows 7 and, I have to say, I have had no problems with connecting my peripherals to it - it automatically finds the software necessary to run it and downloads.
The laptop itself is lightweight and the battery life is good - although when it starts to get low, it does use the last few percent of battery life very quickly.
I had no problems connecting to my internet modem and have not had any issues with connection at all.
The in-built webcam is great for SKYPE chats and facebook photos.
It has a 5 in 1 card reader and HDMI output which is great when I want/need to connect it to my HD-TV to view photos etc, although the screen is brilliantly clear by itself.
I really like the fact that it has a numeric keypad as this is a feature that I found to be lacking in my previous laptops.
3 USB sockets make life really easy when connecting printer, memory stick and scanner
The smooth touch-pad (mouse) took a bit of getting used to, but now I love it and mouse movements are really smooth.

For its price, I would really recommend this product as its failings are far outweighed by its good points.
