HP Compaq Presario CQ60-615DX

By Matthew Elliott (cnet.com)

Editors' note: This review is part of our spring 2010 retail laptop and desktop roundup, which covers specific fixed configurations of popular systems found in retail stores.

Rock-bottom price; attractive design; good build quality; offers enough performance for basic tasks and some multitasking; roomy display; comfortable keyboard; Wireless-N Wi-Fi

Single-core processor limits performance; no Webcam; no media card reader; stiff mouse buttons

The Compaq Presario CQ60-615DX covers the basics, and that's really all you can ask for from a $349 laptop.

Compaq Presario CQ60-417DX

By (cnet.com)

Decent keyboard and touch pad, good screen, low price

Slow processor, no SD card reader or Bluetooth

Saddled with a processor that's bottom-tier, the CQ60-417DX is a budget laptop with the chassis of a superior machine but the guts of an inferior one.

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.

Compaq Presario CQ60-420US

By (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.

However, it delivers adequate horsepower for typical home productivity use, features a bright 15.6-inch widescreen display, and is light enough for short hops.
