HP Compaq CQ60-215DX

By (cnet.com)

Very inexpensive ; includes separate number pad

Slow performance compared with other entry-level laptops ; poor battery life

As stripped-down as a laptop gets, the Compaq Presario CQ60-215DX is saddled with slow performance and a weak battery. There are better entry-level options out there.

Barely more expensive than a decently configured Netbook, the $449 Compaq...

HP Compaq Presario CQ60-420US

By John R. Delaney (pcmag.com)

Priced at just $529.98 (list), the Compaq Presario CQ60 (420us) is easily one of the most affordable 15-inch notebooks around. This no-frills system won't wow you with multimedia features (it lacks an HDMI port and a webcam, among other things), and ...

Very affordable. 16:9 aspect display. Manageable weight

Sluggish performance. Short on features. Does not support draft-n Wi-Fi

The Compaq Presario CQ60 (420us) lacks some of the features found on other 15-inch models, and its performance is nothing to write home about, but bargain hunters will love its sub-$500 price tag.

HP Compaq Presario CQ70-116

By Will Stapley (cnet.co.uk)

The CQ70-116 is a sturdy, minimalist, desktop-replacement laptop with a 17-inch screen and a remarkably low price tag. A slow processor and poor graphics mean this isn't a laptop for gamers, but those seeking a general-purpose machine will find that ...

Large screen ; decent keyboard ; good build quality ; low price

Poor graphics ; slow processor ; slightly temperamental touchpad

If you're after a general-purpose laptop and won't be running games or processor-intensive applications, such as video-editing software, the HP Compaq Presario CQ70-116 delivers the goods at an outstandingly low price

But, as long as portability isn't your main concern, you can pick up a decent...

Widescreen; Numeric keypad; relatively quiet; can multi-task with little difficulty

Short Battery Life - maximum of 2 hours; Slightly heavy; no webcam - didn't think I'd have much of a use for one before I bought it, but later realized it would be a nice feature for a computer of this type; Gets extremely hot very quickly
