compaq presario v2000 manualSurprisingly, HP continues to push the Compaq brand quite heavily, and the Presario line of notebooks continues to maintain its strong presence in the consumer computing market. Some critics contend that HP is no longer known for its innovation and invention. Instead, HP seems to be in a position of playing catch-up and re-invention. Fortunately, the company remains a great source of technology and produces many quality computers. The V2000 is targeted at users who desire a small, lightweight, effective, low-cost notebook computer. HP is rather late in targeting this consumer segment. Other foremost computer manufacturers have already entered the market with small, portable, useful computers. Apple’s iBook notebook line is immensely popular with students and professionals. Sony and Dell have also released their offerings into the niche market of light-weight notebooks. Now, HP is offering the HP DV1000 and Compaq V2000 to put up a fight with their competitors. The Compaq V2000 is the sibling to the HP DV1000. Many features and specifications are shared among both, and you may want to consider both models if you are interested in a new notebook. What I was Looking for Before I get into my review of the V2000, I would like to convey what I wanted in my new notebook. I hope this will help you understand the aspects that I value and what features I felt were of great importance. I recently started the fall semester of my graduate school program. I already own a few laptops, so I felt that I would just take one to classes and I could avoid the hassle of buying a new computer. Unfortunately, I soon realized that my big, clunky Dell Inspiron was not the best thing to toss into a book-bag. It really felt that I was lugging around a huge ten pound brick for no reason and I needed two bags; one for my books and one for my computer. Initially, I had bought my laptops because I liked sitting in front of the TV while browsing or bringing a computer along on a road trip.http://www.siblom.ru/files/upload/dk-17m-manual.xml

I never had the need to walk around with the laptop while carrying a stack of schoolbooks. I started looking around for a new notebook that was very light, was able to run the Windows operating system, and was not too expensive. The basic tasks that I was looking to accomplish were word processing, some basic graphics tasks, and web-surfing. Gaming and heavy-duty number crunching were not high on my list of priorities. I was rather disappointed to discover that the current batch of small notebooks and Tablet PCs were rather expensive. I didn’t need the advanced video cards and super-displays offered by Sony or Dell. I didn’t see a good value after seeing the initial price, and the reviews that I read. The content available about the DV1000 made it sound like a portable entertainment device. When I investigated more, I found that that Compaq had just released the V2000. This laptop seemed perfect. At first, I was unsure about the size. As long as I could throw the V2000 into my bookbag, and as long as the v2000 could run the apps that I wanted to run, this notebook would fit the bill. Best of all, the price was more appealing. My Notebook Specifications I feel that I should post the notebook specifications that I ordered with my V2000. I think this will help you to better understand my thoughts about performance or screen quality when I describe them in my review. Shipping was free. If you are a student and you look for rebates, I’m sure you’ll soon realize how this notebook makes for a great value. This notebook is 4 inches taller and 2 inches wider than a college textbook. First Impressions I was greatly impressed by this notebook when I first took it out of the box and turned it on. The notebook looks great and has an interesting, but still attractive, color pattern. The lights and buttons are all well-placed and give the laptop a very nice appearance. Immediately, I could feel that this notebook was sturdier than my Dell Insprion 8500.http://www.demkar.nl/userfiles/dk-26-manual.xml I was very impressed by the screen. The display is very crisp, and has good visibility. Colors look very nice and small text is easy to read. It’s definitely not the best display available, but it is much better than what I was expecting. One interesting thing is that the screen does not dim if you unplug the V2000 from the AC adapter. I’m unsure how this will affect battery life. The keyboard felt very nice and offered very good feedback while typing. I think it’s great that the V2000 has a full-sized keyboard instead of a fractional keyboard. The touchpad worked great, and I liked its location. When your fingers are set on the home-row keys, the touchpad is closer to the right hand than to the left. This lets my thumb slide down to it without my hands leaving the home-row. This will probably annoy left-handed users since this means that the touchpad is farther away from the left hand. I also appreciate that this notebook doesn’t become too hot during use. I’ve had some notebooks that generated so much heat where I felt like my legs were getting burned. Additionally, the V2000 does not need a loud fan to keep cool. I hardly notice the cooling fan kick in on the V2000.I appreciate that they still ship the original operating system, application CD, and even the Windows Security Pack CD in the event that the owner needs to reformat or repair their computer. Their documentation is also very thorough. One area where I was disappointed was the color of the top part of the V2000’s outer case. The images that I had seen of this notebook made it seem like the top and bottoms were made of some shiny metal or even a glossy plastic. But, the top and bottom is merely a matte black plastic color. Of course, this is entire cosmetic, and easy to get over once you open up the laptop. Getting Started Like all new computers and notebooks, there is a short setup procedure you must go through when you first activate your notebook. Compaq’s documentation tells you many, many times that you must have your notebook connected to a telephone line if you wish to do the setup properly. I was rather annoyed by this since I have no land-line in my apartment. Fortunately, you can skip all required steps that require a modem. I am unsure what long-term affects this may have since I cannot repeat those steps now that I have the Internet settings configured correctly for my home network. Additionally, the setup process also forces you to listen to some annoying music. As much as I hate to admit it, I was stymied for a few minutes trying to figure this out. For some reason, I couldn’t get Windows XP to detect my home network. I even resorted to reading the manual and instructions, but they didn’t mention anything useful about my problem. It turns out that I forgot to push the wireless network button on the V2000. I had never used a notebook that had a push-button to activate or deactivate the wireless card. Basically, I just felt really dumb for a few minutes. It took me 5 seconds to connect to my local wireless LAN. Compaq bundles the obligatory “free” software titles that clutter your new computer’s desktop. One free software title that I am rather irritated with is the Microsoft Office 2003 demo. I understand that it would be great to have access to Microsoft Word on your brand new computer, but it makes it very tedious to install your own copy of the software. Reinstalling Everything I have a very strange habit when I get a new computer. I must reformat the hard drive and use the supplied recovery discs to see if I can restore the computer back to a working condition. In the past, I have had problems with recovery items not working right. I want to know what hiccups and problems that I should expect before I am placed in a tight position and must do a reinstallation. To my delight, setup is amazingly easy. The Windows XP disc that is shipped guided me through the setup process without any problems.https://academyocgc.com/images/compaq-presario-900-repair-manual.pdf The enclosed Drivers and Applications CD was also very easy to use; reinstalling my wireless drivers and Bluetooth drivers took about 20 minutes. Last, the Windows Update DVD worked great. I must commend Compaq for their work in providing these recovery and restoration utilities. How the Notebook Performs I threw a variety of tasks at this notebook to see how it would handle under the workload that I was anticipating. Remember, I’m just using this notebook for school use; please don’t expect me to try a gambit of tests like what you see in PC World or CNET. Playing Music I fired up Winamp and started playing some music while I did the following tests. I am impressed with the audio qualities of this notebook. In my opinion, this notebook has the best speakers of any that I have owned. If you don’t want to disturb people around you, the headphone jack is also conveniently located in the front of the laptop. PDF Documents It seems that more and more documents are now available in the Adobe Acrobat (PDF) file format. I have been frustrated on some computers when reading Acrobat files. Either the load times take forever or browsing the documents is choppy. I found a 170 page PDF document that had many images and regular text. Opening this document didn’t seem to strain the system much. Also, navigation through the document was very fast. Word Processing I’ve never come across anything that really taxed my system in Microsoft Word. However, I can declare that Word 2003 loaded very quickly on my V2000. Presentation Tools I obtained some PowerPoint presentations that had about 200 slides (I really don’t know who has to suffer through these presentations). There wasn’t any problem with viewing the slides or making changes. Spreadsheets In Excel, the first task I tried was to load up a 50MB Spreadsheet. This spreadsheet had some market research and many rows of raw survey data. Loading the spreadsheet took a bit of time (about 8 seconds), but the response was fairly snappy once the file was loaded. I had no problems navigating the various workbooks of my spreadsheet. In a new spreadsheet, I generated 10,000 random numbers which I then placed into a histogram chart. Again, there were no problems and the system responded just fine to my commands. Checking Email I’m one of those packrats who downloads and keeps his email for months after receiving the message. Loading the backup messages into Outlook Express was easy, and browsing email was great. I think that having a faster hard drive would speed things up. Also, on occasion, I commit some very lack-luster efforts at producing images for the web or for some presentations. I usually use Photoshop for this. Rather than do the obligatory “gaussian blur” test, I just opened up one of my larger Photoshop files and felt how it responded. This file had about 25 layers, but the image itself was only 640 x 480 I randomly tried out some Photoshop tools, and randomly applied various filters and action-sets. I suspect that graphic designers who do high-end work will need to find a machine with better performance. Games I’m sure that the topic of gaming ability is important to many students. However, please be advised that the V2000 is not a good gaming machine. I obtained a copy of The Sims(R) and Halflife(R) to test out the V2000’s gaming ability. Both games installed and were playable, but the performance was definitely poor. However, casual gamers will be pleased to know that they can still visit or play simple flash-games without any issues. Be sure to observe how far back you can open your screen before you hit the power plug. Possible Issues No product is perfect, so here’s my list of concerns so far. One thing that puzzles me is that I cannot lay this notebook “flat.” In a few photos I’ve seen, there appears to be a view where the notebook is open to its fullest, and it is lying flat where the screen and keyboard are facing upwards. I cannot do this with my notebook. To an extent, I have a feeling that this situation is intentional. The reason is that the power-plug is located on the back part of the notebook. It is the only port found on the back of the unit. If you have the notebook plugged in, the screen will actually push against this plug if you try to open the screen all the way. I think Compaq may have altered the hinge to prevent the screen from knocking off (or breaking) the power connector. I believe that to prevent users from calling in with broken power adaptors, Compaq simply prevented the hinge from opening where it’ll cause any damage. It’s big, clunky, and the wires fall everywhere. Compaq does not offer a strap or a convenient spool for the cord to wrap around. This makes carrying the charger a bit more difficult than I would have liked. The third thing is probably due to me being old-fashioned. I would like to have an Infrared (IR) port on my V2000 notebook. I still use a Palm Pilot (R) quite often, but the budget Palm devices do not have Bluetooth support. The ability to do a Hotsync via IR would be a nice feature. Impressions After One Week of Use I’ve been able to use this notebook for a week now. It has worked perfectly when I needed it, and I am very satisfied with this purchase. The V2000 has a vibrant and clear screen Battery Life Battery life has been better than I was expecting. I simply purchased the 6 cell battery (the default battery). It lasts about 3.5 hours and the notebook performs very well no matter if it is plugged in or not. As I mentioned earlier, the display remains very bright and vibrant even if the laptop is not plugged into a wall socket. So, even at a good screen brightness, the battery seems to perform rather well. Situational I’ve had to write a report on the notebook already. For this purpose, the V2000 did great. The screen was easy to read so I could work without feeling fatigued. Also, nothing is crashing or behaving erratically, which makes me very happy. I plugged the V2000 to a LCD projector to test if I could use it for presentations. A feature that I really like about this notebook is the “mute” button. I’ve had my fair share of annoying pop-ups and embedded midi files start playing and it’s great to know that it’s easy to make those nuisances less disturbing. I’m very happy with how quickly the V2000 enters and exits the “hibernate” power-saving mode. It is very nice to be able to begin working on the laptop when you sit down. The V2000 takes about 12 seconds to enter hibernate mode and about 8 seconds to awaken from hibernate mode. Last, some users may be sad to find that this notebook does not have a slot for CompactFlash (CF) media. There is a built-in 6 in 1 memory card reader, but it doesn’t support the relatively clunky CF format. Owners of the support types (smart media, Sony MemoryStick, etc.) will be very happy. Some vendors sell PCMCIA adaptor cards that allow you to plug in a CF card. If you really want to plug a CF card into your V2000, you’ll have to go out and purchase this accessory. This is the 6 in 1 memory reader, but there is no slot for CompactFlash Media Durability I simply toss this notebook into my bag and haul it to class. So far, I haven’t seen any marks or scars even though books and pens are probably pushing up against the outer-chassis. Also, the screen seems pretty good at resisting fingerprints and food-stains. I ate some canned peaches while using the V2000, and some of the juice splatter wiped right off. I have ordered a laptop sleeve to help protect this notebook down the road, but that sleeve hasn’t arrived yet. Future Upgrades? This notebook doesn’t have very much room for future upgrades. There is one open memory slot (I currently have 1 x 512MB or RAM) and some users may desire an upgraded battery. There is no removable drive bay, and there seems little incentive for a user to attempt upgrading the internal components. There are many possible USB accessory and PCMCIA card upgrades, but nothing made specifically for the V2000. The only addition offered by Compaq is the HP xb2000 notebook expansion base. The Display I’m very pleased with the display. It is very bright with good contrast, but the screen is hard on the eyes after prolonged use. At times, I wished that I had more viewing space, but that only seems to apply to spreadsheet viewing. Warranty and Support No real surprises here, you get a 30 day return period and a 1 year parts warranty. If you want better support, you have to pay a bit extra. I had quite a few issues getting my order right, and their customer service reps had a good answer and solution for me every time. I called at noon and had a 30 minute wait time. Conclusion I know I may be hasty in my conclusion (after all, I’ve only used this notebook for a week), but I feel that the V2000 is a great notebook. It has amazing value, and I am very happy that I purchased it. So far, based on my original expectations, I have yet to come across something that I feel that I have to “live with” or “settle for.” The V2000 handles all of my tasks with no issues, and the notebook is great for carrying around. I have become very comfortable with the notebook, and it has lived up to everything that it was advertised for. I did my entire review on this notebook. This included downloading and resizing images from my camera, the word processing of this text, and uploading the requisite files onto a webserver. I would definitely recommend the V2000 to a student or a professional who do not require a beast of a notebook. The small size and adequate processing power make the V2000 a great complement to users who need a computer on the go Pricing and Availability The Compaq Presario v2000 is available via the HPShopping.com website.

We highly recommend it. - Engadget.5GHz, and yes, there is an obvious difference when you are running big photo editing programs as I do; memory is also a consideration.the 5610F comes with 3GB of onboard memory in two DIMM slots and you can replace the 1GB stick with a 2GB one (4GB is max); on the other hand, the 5310F maximum was 2GB total. Your Vista OS uses quite a bit of memory so I recommend tweaking it for less usage. Set up is very simple with Compaq's enclosed instruction sheet and manuals. Once connected to the internet you'll get a welcome screen that walks you through registration, etc.BE sure to set aside enough time for the installation of all the updates and for you to create the recovery disks. The 5610F has what is called 'Cool and Quiet Technology'; whatever they've done works. The hard drive is a 320GB SATA one that spins at 7200RPM; this capacity is plenty for most folks-- if not, just add an external one tha plugs into one of the USB ports (the 5610F has 6 USB 2.0).There is no TV tuner or PVR in this unit and gamers may need more than the NVIDIA 6150SE for graphics, but for an all-around desktop, this one is hard to beat especially when one considers features for the price. There's not a lot of junk software loaded in this one; I just unistalled what was not wanted. You get a 60-day trial of Norton security software which is a big plus; after that, go to Best Buy and pick up the Norton 360 Internet Security Suite.

JJ00JJ This is my first Windows desktop since Millenium and what a flashback. Thank to the good people of Compaq, the hardware itself is great and the pricing is just right. However, I had to spend about 2 hours updating and uninstalling trial softwares that I will never use. To my surprise, all my old peripherals had drivers written for them. I do miss having a card reader slot though but that can easily be added on later. This Compaq is really quiet and boots up fast. The casing looks good without being gaudy. The combination of price and performance is just right. If you were looking at the SR5605F get this model instead. Like all Vista machines, be prepared to update and install patches for a while. However, I do appreciate the Home Premium version SP1 which gives you the option to burn a recovery disk. My friend got the Basic version and he hasn't been able to find a recovery disk maker yet. The backup recovery takes about 3 DVDs so be sure to have some available. It takes a lot of room and slow the machine down. Once all the unnecessary software is removed, it's a very nice system.

Posted 11 years ago.They are built by HP - so people who want an HP will find they are getting the same thing, but cheaper. They usually load these with a software package that trains you how to use the machine and its programs. Its pretty great. Not good for gaming (not wnoogh graphics) and memory and Hard Drive right now are about 1TB so to get one with less isnt that great. Also, right now they are using blue ray writers. Vista home premium is better. For the money its better than trying to upgrade your existing computer. Just keep your monitor and buy one later thats better.

Posted 11 years ago.That one operated on Vista Basic, had half as much memory and a much smaller hard drive.what a difference--like night and day. HP products, even Compaq, are just so much superior in quality. Didn't even need Geek Squad to set it up; did it myself with the enclosed sheet. Vista Premium is so much better than Basic to do everyday tasks, and you can do so many more things with the 3GB memory and 320 (well, okay, 285 or so) GB drive. The monitor has great resolution and graphics (those NVIDIA 6150's make all the difference, trust me!), and it comes with a nice little compact printer (I've since bought a HP Officejet all-in-one but I'm keeping the little printer as a backup--you never know.). Best money I've ever spent, hands down. GET THIS!!!!!

I was suprised how fast Adobe Photoshop CS2 opens up on this computer. Any editing done to the photos takes very little time to process. I've found that the dual-core processor along with the 3GB RAM memory is sufficient for all my photo editing needs. Coupled with the Samsung SyncMaster 933SN monitor, I have a computer that is perfect for my needs.
