Compaq Presario V6700TX series Reviews from notebookreview

I’ve been frustrated as hell lately trying to buy a new laptop. I want a machine with XP, so my choices are limited, and I need to finance it so I can get it NOW instead of waiting for tax returns (I’ll be paying it off with that).

Compaq Presario V6700TX series Reviews From cnet

 Pros:  Has a Core 2 Duo processor, which is more efficient than some similarly priced notebooks. By way of comparison, the average cost of a product with this desirable a processor is $1,465.

Cons: Comes with Microsoft Windows XP Professional OS, which is less favorable than some similarly priced notebooks. For example, the Toshiba Satellite A135-S4427 , a 6-pound notebook at around $740, comes with Microsoft Windows Vista Home premium and Microsoft Windows Vista OS. Shared video memory has an adverse effect on system performance which may be okay for users with more modest graphics needs. Users with more demanding needs should look to a graphics solution that brings its own muscle.
