Compaq Presario CQ61-420US 15.6-Inch Laptop
Great computer with HD Screen, the new Windows 7 so user friendly, and I love the expanded keyboard – with numbers set off to the side. I was looking at laptops twice the price ($600-$700) when I saw this one pop up on the best sellers list for Amazon. The only difference between the higher price notebooks and this Compaq is that it does not have a webcam or 4 GB of memory – it only has 2 but is expandable to 4.

Balancing mobility and performance needs at 5.90 lbs (the CQ61 is powered by AMD processor and ATI graphics technology along with these essential features: 15.6” Diagonal High-Definition HP BrightView display for full-screen views, Integrated high-speed wireless LAN enabling connectivity within hot spots, Altec Lansing speakers delivering smooth audio performance.

Customer Reviews
Beware, if you think it has a HDMI!
I just received this nice 15.6″ notebook and I admit that I like it! The sound is great. The keypad is really handy when you need it. And the reponse of this computer is satisfying with windows 7 loaded.
However, pictures in its product page might be a deceiving. Although they are shown in the pics, this model does NOT come with a webcam and HDMI. I was surprised when I opened the box and found this truth. Hence, I further digged into the specification sheet and found that I was wrong. Beware, if you think this is really a steal with a webcam and HDMI for this low price, you may just make a mistake like what I did.
In all, I do not regret my decision of buying it at all. You can buy a netbook for $299.99. But I will pay a little bit more to go with this notebook ($379.99) with full capability, faster processing speed and a DVD burner in trade of the mobility. Now, I am going return my cute but slow netbook…

I purchased this notebook a week ago. With rebates and store sale prices, I paid $[...] total for it. Absolutely first rate on quality of product. Touch pad of this quality is usually reserved for high end units. Full numeric keyboard is a welcome addition. I would have liked to see more hot keys for common used actions. Dual core processor, 3 gigs of RAM, lightscribe DVD writer combine to make you think it’s a high end computer. All for less than $[...]. Outstanding value.
Great Value Great Laptop

You can’t get a better laptop for the price $379. Very happy with my purchase!
