Editorial Review:
Compaq's Presario 2105US notebook PC strikes a good balance between power, portability, and affordability. It may be the perfect solution for budget-minded professional or personal users who don't want to settle for a second-rate mobile computer.
At 13 by 10.7 by 1.6 inches and a mere 5.7 pounds, the 2105US is easy to carry yet spacious enough to offer an accommodating full-size, 88-key keyboard with embedded numeric keypad and a sizable 14.1-inch XGA TFT display supporting 1,024 x 768 resolution. Compaq has chosen a capable 1.5 GHz Mobile AMD Athlon XP processor to power the unit, and matched it with a generous 512 MB of DDR SDRAM system memory (upgradable to a massive 1,024 MB). It has added a powerful 64 MB ATI Mobility Radeon AGP 4X video processor and a large 40 GB hard drive. Despite its cost-conscious price, the 2105US is ready to handle any typical notebook task and even some 3-D-intensive applications and games.
The system is not short of amenities. With the integrated DVD/CD-RW combo drive (24x/8x/8x CD, 8x DVD), you can back up your data, burn and enjoy audio CDs, and play your favorite movies. Using the internal 10/100 Mbps Ethernet adapter or 56K modem, you can access e-mail, networks, or the Internet at both low and high speeds. Other perks include a 16-bit Sound Blaster Pro-compatible audio chip, two internal stereo speakers, two USB ports for plug-and-play peripherals, parallel and serial ports, headphone-out and microphone-in connections, and an S-Video out. High-speed USB and IEEE FireWire connections are not included.
Compaq has pre-installed a broad range of software, including Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, Norton AntiVirus 2002, Microsoft Works, Quicken Financial Center, and Microsoft Money 2003.

Rating:  - BUYER BEWARE!!!
I bought this computer about a year and a half ago. It worked great at first. After a few months of basic use, it began running LOUDER and slower. The mouse touch pad doesn't work properly and when I type, some letters don't register. I have to keep backing up and retyping words. The battery died after 13 months. I have used many utility programs to try and resolve some of these issues but to no avail.
Rating:  - Great Laptop, Great Features
In the market for a top-of-the-line laptop at a great price? Look no further. Compaq continues setting industry standards in desktops and laptops. I purchased my 2105 about a year ago, and I have loved it ever since. It is super fast, with amazing features such as Windows XP (the best Windows yet), easy-to-understand ports, and an awesome screen. Forget what you know about Pentium processors...AMD Athlon is superb! Whether you're always on-the-go, or you just need a super fast computer for ... Read More
Rating: - Awesome laptop for its price!
I bought this laptop off of eBay new in factory sealed box. I got it for about $750, which is a heck of a deal. Opened it up and everything booted fine. In a few seconds, I had it up and running XP Home.
This laptop has 512MB DDR (64MB DDR shared video memory) and a 40GB hard drive, which are practically top of the line. 512MB DDR is going to make XP run very fast. This laptop is actually faster than my desktop PC which has a XP 2000+/256MB DDR.
The 14.1" XGA display is gorgeous. ... Read More

I've owned this laptop for about four months. It has been great. I hardly ever use my desktop since this is almost as powerful and I can use it anywhere. Great for video & graphic editing etc. Handles multi-tasking extremely well. Should immediately run updates on drivers etc. before using. Highly Recommend!!!
Rating: - STAY AWAY!!
I bought this laptop thinking that it would be a great idea for what I needed it for. Bare minimum, basic laptop use. I WAS WRONG. Not only does Compaq's customer service lack SERVICE, but they refuse to admit a MAJOR flaw, or shall I say a few major flaws in this laptop. My cousin and I ordered this same model from amazon.com together, and received them together. Out of the box, we turned it on to notice that the touchpad was not functioning properly. Plugged in a USB mouse and worked fine. ... Read More
