Compaq Presario CQ40-401AU Review

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , ,


I just got back from my dealer today. Although I’m not in the business anymore, it pays to visit your dealer once in a while even just for a chat, as you will still get a dealer price for everything.

While I was there, he told me currently the best selling notebook and is the Presario .

I was not shocked to hear the news. As for me the Presario CQ40 AU series still is the best value for money notebook or offered today.

The Presario still use the same shell as the other Presario CQ-40 AU series. That means it still looks as good as the others, modern look with the sleek silver casing.

The specification also does not differ much from other Presario CQ-40 AU series.

The default specification for Presario are as follow:

Dual Core (2.0 Ghz)
14″1 WXGA Widescreen LCD
ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics
250GB Hard disk drive
1024MB DDR2 Ram
DVD+/-RW Double Layer Drive
802.11 b/g Wireless Adapter
5 in 1 Card Reader
Built in webcam
6 Cell Lithium-Ion battery
FreeDOS Operating System
carrying bag

Price at the time of writing: RM1849.00

Looking at the specification of the Presario , the only difference from the previous Presario CQ40-115AU specifications is the size of the Hard Disk Drive. Presario CQ40-115AU come with 160GB of Hard Disk Drive, meanwhile Presario is equipped with 250GB Hard Disk Drive.

There isn’t much to talk about the Presario except that it won’t give you any trouble if you decide to use it as a personal , and run normal applications and tasks. Although the Presario is equipped ATI Radeon HD, the 3200 series is not meant for serious gaming.

As with all Presario CQ40 AU series, the keyboard is comfortable to use, but I do find the slippery touchpad is odd to my liking.

Some retailers are offering sweet deals for the Presario such as free upgrade to 2048MB (2GB) of RAM, free pendrive and other accessories such as optical mouse. You might want to find such retailers if you are thinking of getting the Presario .

With the price starting from RM1899, -115AU is situated in the low end range of notebook, mostly targeted at the budget conscious user looking for a new notebook.

The overall design of the -115AU are the same as other Presario model by HP. It is quite attractive actually, with a sleek silver casing.

The default specification for -115AU are as follow:

Dual Core (2.0 Ghz)
14″1 WXGA Widescreen LCD
160GB Hard disk drive

From the specifications of -115AU, we can tell that it is more than sufficient to carry out daily task such as browsing the web, or word processing. Playing latest games or doing multimedia task such as heavy editing might be a bit hard on the -115AU though.

Considering the price of DDR2 Ram are on the cheap right now, interesting buyer might want to consider upgrading the Memory on -115AU to 2048MB to increase the notebook performance.
