Review HP Compaq Presario CQ56 Notebook

Two-Nine-Nine. These three numbers add up to the most attractive ...

Low price ; Stable case ; Resistant surfaces ; Aluminum reinforced hinges ; 2 RAM slots (one empty) ; Good hard disk ; Three hour battery life ; Low emissions ; Viable keyboard

Only few interfaces ; No cardreader ; Not AR coated ; Poor contrasts & viewing angles ; Weak performance ; Stiff mouse keys

The price. How can a profit be made here? The case's quality is remarkable in view of the low price. Everything sits tight where it belongs

I love my Compaq

I would suggest this laptop for everyday use.

it is portable but large enough to use. The screen is just the right size for work or play. The keypad is standard size with out all of the other nonsence

only three usb ports. They all work just fine however

Good for the price

Good computer for the price, upgrading the RAM helps a ton on performance. As you could expect from a 300 dollar laptop it does not play games well. I play Sims 2 and Age of empires 3. It wont play any call of duty's. I recomend it for people who are...

Nice keyboard and touchpad ; Many USB ports ; Battery life is the usual for laptops its around 3-5 hours depending on what your doing

It has 3 USB ports and only 1 works the 2nd works part of the time for some reason ; CPU is slower then newer laptops (Newer ones around this price have dual cores) ; I needed to upgrade the Ram. 2GB was too little to do reliable multitasking

Good for the money

I bought mine used on an auction site for $214. It was upgraded to 8GB so it was fast...much faster than my previous laptop. I was shocked how fast it was for the money. It was sold with a wireless mouse... GREAT IDEA. The touchpad SUCKS!. It helps to...

Too hot

I got this laptop as a Christmas present about a year and a half ago, and I have never been happy with it. I didn't have internet for a while which made my usage short with using only paint, solitare, etc. However, when we finally got our wifi hooked...
