SOOOOOOOOOOOOO SLOW

 

This is the slowest computer EVER!!! Think it's the internet connection? Nope. Great price and easy to use but literally as slow as a laptop from 2001. Only buy if your broke/cheap and have a TON of patience. Only reason I got it is bc I have a work...

Good for the price

 

I bought this laptop last year from Walmart, it was on sale for $248. The image shown (with the green background) is not the CQ57 by the way. The CQ57 does not have the same touch-pad or keyboard as that image. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase....

Great for the money

 

We bought this from Walmart at a greatly reduced price and it has been a super machine. The display is very clear and crisp and Win7 works well on it. The keyboard is a little "chunky" with very square keys (not beveled) and the touchpad is more...
