Compaq Presario CQ60 (420us)

The Compaq Presario CQ60 (420us) notebook is big on savings but short on features.

Very affordable. 16:9 aspect display. Manageable weight.

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

Compaq Presario CQ60-420US

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 CQ60-214EM review

This Compaq offers great value for money and may be the best laptop we've seen at this price

Great performance ; Nice design ; Good storage capacity ; HDMI out port

Battery life below 3hrs

A solid specification and great performance makes this one of the best laptops you can buy at this price. Fully recommended.

HP Compaq CQ60-215DX review: HP Compaq CQ60-215DX

HP Compaq CQ60-215DX

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.

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Reliable, still going after 3+ years

Had this laptop for over 3 years and it's still working great.

Great laptop for the price. Can even play some games at lower settings. Dual core cpu was pretty powerful for the price when this came out. Screen brightness and quality are good, contrast ratio looks good. Speakers are good for laptop speakers

Battery life is not good. Headphone jack is on the front which can be a problem for lap use. A bit heavy
