Description:

Enjoy freedom of mobility with the lightweight Compaq Presario V2010US notebook PC, which weighs just 5.2 pounds and measures only 1.3 inches high. It features a built-in 54g wi-fi connection with SpeedBooster support of next-generation 125 Mbps wireless LANs. Other features include a 1.4 GHz Intel Celeron M processor, 512 MB of installed RAM, a 60 GB hard drive, 3 USB 2.0 and 1 Firewire port, 14-inch screen, and a CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo drive.

The Basics

  • Hard Drive: The 60 GB hard drive is becoming the average size for notebook PCs, and it's a good size for storing a decent sized digital audio library as well as an office productivity suite.
  • Processor: The younger sibling to Intel's Centrino processor, the Celeron M processor is also closely related to its desktop and Mobile Celeron predecessors. The 1.4 GHz speed measurement is similar to the 2.0 GHz Mobile Celeron processor, which puts it in the middle of the speed spectrum for this processor class. It will aby execute tasks from productivity and multimedia applications, but it's not recommended for high-end video needs. Its M classification denotes its built-in power-saving technologies, so you'll get good battery performance while on the road.
  • Memory: The 512 MB of built-in memory (2 x 256 MB, 266 MHz, DDR SDRAM) is becoming standard on notebooks and it's a good start for power users. It has two memory slots in total, with a maximum memory expansion up to 1 GB (2 x 512 MB).
  • CD/DVD Drive: The combo CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive can write and read CDs at 24x and rewrite at 10x speeds. It can read DVDs at 16x.
  • Keyboard & Mouse: This notebook has a standard 101-key keyboard and two-button touchpad with on/off button and dedictated vertical scroll up/down pad.

Connectivity and Expansion Slots
