Description:

Compaq's Presario 900US notebook PC makes no compromises. This super-fast system includes a huge 15-inch display, a DVD/CD-RW drive, and IEEE 1394 (FireWire) support so you can edit your own movies. All of this power comes at a surprisingly low price, making it ideal for families and students who want advanced features but don't want to break the bank.

Measuring 1.5 by 12.8 by 10.6 inches and weighing 6.69 pounds, this Presario is relatively light for a notebook that sports such a large TFT screen and includes a built-in floppy drive. ATI's Mobility Radeon drives the display at 1,024 x 768 resolution, offering enough graphics horsepower for the latest 3-D games. The 900US also includes video-out so you can play games, do presentations, or watch DVDs on your TV, and a VGA connector supporting a desktop monitor at resolutions up to 1,600 x 1,200.

AMD's Mobile Athlon 1700+ (1.47 GHz) processor and 256 MB of DDR SDRAM give this system enough speed to handle any application, from word processing to video conferencing to video editing. The DVD/CD-RW combo drive lets you play DVD movies and burn your own CDs, and integrated JBL Pro Audio speakers with Bass Reflex deliver high-quality stereo sound for watching movies or listening to music. The large 30 GB hard drive offers plenty of space for storing video, music, or applications.

The Presario offers every type of connectivity you'll need, including a FireWire port for connecting to DV video cameras and external drives. Combined with a compatible video camera, this turns the Presario into a video editing workstation. In addition, the system includes a 10/100 Ethernet adapter, a 56K modem, two USB ports, a parallel port, and a high-speed infrared port.

The system's keyboard section features a standard 88-key layout and a touch pad for cursor control. Pre-installed software includes Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, Microsoft Works 6.0, Microsoft Money 2001, a one-year subscription to the Encarta Online Encyclopedia, Roxio's EZ CD Creator, and Norton AntiVirus 2002.
