Now that I've had it for around a year and half I've noticed serious problems

  I was given a Presario v6000 for Christmas and at first couldn’t be happier. It came preloaded with Windows Media Edition and looked sleek. The screen is a bright LCD screen and looks great at night. It comes with loud speakers and a good touchpad as well as
  a well designed keyboard.
  The specs are
  
  “the 6.5-pound Compaq Presario V6000 offers a choice of either an AMD Sempron or a Turion 64 X2 processor at speeds from 1.6GHz to 1.8GHz; up to 2GB of 533MHz or 667MHz RAM; 5,400rpm hard drives in capacities from 60GB to 120GB; and an integrated Nvidia GeForce Go 6150 video card. Like the Pavilion dv6000, the Presario V6000 features a 15.4-inch wide-screen display with a native resolution of 1,280×800.”
  
  Now that I’ve had it for around a year and half I’ve noticed serious problems. The main problem is the fan.
- It is louder than most desktops and makes the laptop embarrassing to take out. I was recently in the hospital after having surgery and took out my v6000 and turned it off after a few minutes of use due to the fact that I didn’t want to disturb
  other patients with it being so loud. Another problem is the sound card. There is no mic boost function so when using a microphone it will create a loud and obnoxious buzzing.
  
  My opinion is to keep shopping. This laptop is not good for public settings or VOIP services.

Compaq Presario V3000

I had my first ever laptop when I was 18. The brand and model is Compaq Presario V3000. I think it is really cool to have that kind of laptop before because the OS is already Vista and the looks is just so wicked. It is scratch-proof because it ...

Compaq Presario SR2101

The Compaq Presario SR2101 is a robust desktop machine that will not disappoint you. I had the option at the store to change the memory installed from 1GB to the maximum of 4GB which gives me more autonomy to work. But in case you decide to do it later, ...

Compaq Presario 8000

The computer I'm using right now is a desktop Compaq Presario 8000. The positive aspects of a desktop computer is mostly that it's a lot more powerful than a laptop could ever be. A lot more space for the strength within, and therefore a much more convenient choice if ...

Compaq Presario 4400US

When this computer was bought, it was already second hand, and we had gotten it for cheap at a local electronics store. At the time we got it, I didn't know much about computers, since I had never had much access to one before, and there was a nagging ...

Compaq Presario SR5450F Desktop PC

In more recent days, I've seen better deals than this by HP, however this is a Compaq and therefore is priced differently. This still is quite a good deal, and an excellent computer for the price. The computer comes equipped with a 2 ghz dual core processor. This used to ...

Compaq Presario SR5250NX Desktop PC

Really, I don't care what the price is on this computer. It's definitely not that great of a computer, and I wouldn't recommend buying it to anyone. For some reason, I've had a model just a bit higher than this that run excellently. This computer runs horribly slow. Even ...

Compaq Presario Desktop E2160

If you're looking for a more basic, cheaper desktop computer that'll just perform the basic features such as Internet and chat, as well as a few lower-end games, this is definitely the way to go. This computer is decent. It looks alright for a desktop, although appearance really isn't all ...

Compaq Presario SR5010NX Desktop Computer

Firstly, I'd like to say that I purchased this desktop computer for an extremely low price at an impulse buy. I don't necessarily regret the purchase, because it wasn't much and my son enjoys having a computer, but the quality is terrible. The processing speed is so slow that it ...

I recently made a purchase of this more than a feet in height computer tower. The retail price of the machine, was about average and there were no budgetary concerns. This station is built to last, because I have seen some older versions of this tower that ...
