Summary: What a horrible piece of junk !!!
Review: As the proud owner of an earlier "lower capability" Presario 1700, P3 1 GHz 256 RAM, I thought THIS Presario 2580 would be a nice upgrade. WRONG!!! What a piece of unmitigated garbage! Compared to my earlier Presario, this piece of junk has;

1) Very poor display resolution
2) Very poor washed out weak display colors
3) Very slow for a 2.4 GHz P4, slower than my P3 1.0Ghz
4) AWFUL sound, not even close to my other Presario
5) An AC adapter that has such a poor pin input fit it won't stay plugged in even when untouched!!! Just falls out.
6) Super loud fan that seems to be perpetually on, you can't think or hear anything else with this thing!

I understand what happened here I think. Since the time I bought my other very excellent Presario two years ago, Compaq was bought out by HP, (who always built cheap, terrible computers from China),... and now they have turned Compaq Presarios into the same cheap junk HP always made.

I will NEVER by another Compaq/HP, and this piece of trash goes back for refund tonight! (Ughh, I'll get stuck with a fat restock fee but that's better than being stuck with this piece of garbage masquerading as a supposedly decent home notebook)

DON'T EVER BUY AN HP/COMPAQ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Review: Great Notebook for a bargain price.

Bigger processor means more heat and more fan. Very quiet fan compared to other models. Much faster than an P3 I've used.

Get this computer, download every update from HP.com and enjoy it.

Also a great computer to swap out the stock memory, put in 1024 MB of RAM and it flies.

Best computer I've ever owned.

Review: I purchased this laptop because of price and a lot of research. I run my online business alot from the comfort of my sofa at night (when the kids are sleeping) to check for payments made! I made mine wireless so I can go on anywhere with it, I can use it upstairs when the kids are in the bath, its awesome! I love my Compaq!

Review: Whoever thought that this notebook was a piece of junk then i guess he doesnt have a choice.
its a great notebook no fan noise at all... obviously the normal noise which comes in every notebook is there and is not at all annoying. Sound is very nice and clear, JBL speakers do the job very nicely, i have no problems what so ever with the display colors, its really cool. its just great and at this price it is the best deal available and ppl looking for notebooks should go for this one. This is all i can say to u guys .... thanx
