 Nice for the price but more of a desktop replacement November 22, 2008

Compaq Presario CQ50-110US 15-inch Laptop (2.0 GHz AMD Turion X2 RM-70 Processor, 3 GB RAM, 200 GB Hard Drive, DVD Drive, Vista Premium)
This is a nice laptop, the only caveats are battery life and brightness of the LCD while on battery.
The battery lasts about 2 hours; long enough to watch an average dvd but not a long one.
The is dim while on the battery. You can turn the brightness up at the cost of battery life.
Other than those two things, this is a great laptop or you may consider it as a desktop replacement.
On to the meat.
One of the things that shocked me was the speed of this computer, it's very fast.
With it's AMD x2 Turion Processor, and 200 Gig SATA drive it can handle Vista Home Premium with ease.
It boots and is ready to go in less than 45 seconds, about 30 seconds faster than my Core2Quad XP desktop computer.
With 3 gigs of ram this computer is ready to handle about any APP you can throw at it.
It also plays what few games I play (Spore, Quake3, F.E.A.R) with relative ease, No it doesn't hit 120 frames a second, but games are very playable. Use a NOCD exe so the game isn't in the DVD drive sucking up battery while doing nothing.

All in all I am happy with my purchase of the Compaq Presario CQ50. It provides the capacity I need for my small business. I would warn the buyer that the installed Mircosoft Office and Norton Anti-virus are trial versions and only good for 2 months, therefore you should expect to spend several hundreds dollars more for the software. This makes the purchase price not such a bargin at the end of the day.
 Great laptop even if it is missing fewthings September 28, 2008

This laptop was a replace for my 5 years old laptop, the laptop is fast and 3GB make it awesome. The screen is very glossy and the colors are sharp. No web cam, i don't care because my x-laptop does not have one, no firewire, my x-laptop had one but I never use it. I still need to test the battery life. The DVD clicks when you close it, but I get used on it. The laptop is not heavy nor light. It was a great deal with these specs. The only thing that I miss is my Windows XP
 No Firewire Port, No Port for Firewire Port Card... September 21, 2008

It's got an Athlon dual core 2gHz processor, 3gB of RAM, a 200 gig hard drive, Vista Premium with Windows video editing program, and Windows DVD mastering program, a DVD burner, with lite-scribe...does the printing right on the disc itself. Wow!
This should be so beautiful! I have so much video that needs to be edited, and people around the world that would LOVE to see what I have on that shelf of tapes. While it's still no professional unit, this thing, with all its features and specs should be able to do a decent job at home video production, right?
But for one thing. No Firewire port. No place to plug a Firewire port card into. Oh, there's three USB ports, and one memory card port, but no possible way to load DV into this thing.
Then, what's the point!? (sigh)
 Review of Compaq service September 19, 2008

This is not a review of this specific model but of Compaq service. I purchased a Presario F762NR four months ago. The screen has now failed. I returned it to Compaq for repair and they refuse to honor the warranty unless I buy an additional warranty. The cost to replace the screen is $2 less than what I paid for the laptop. I have owned many Compaq products in the past and currently have 4 in the house. Compaq service used to be excellent; things have changed. I will no longer purchase any Compaq product and recommend that you consider the risks involved.
