The Compaq Presario CQ71-320SA Laptop is a great value offer from Compaq which combines powerful components under a robust casing and great usability of the newly launched Windows 7 operating system. Packed with a 2.1GHz Intel Dual Core processor a massive 17 inch multimedia display and an optical DVD-RW.

This powerful multimedia laptop is set to rival the popular budget laptops such as the Dell Studio 1737, Samsung R720 or the Dell Inspiron 1750 laptops.

Powerful Processor and Memory

The 2.1GHz Intel T4300 Dual Core processor has been selected to support the multimedia needs and run all your usual applications at a blistering speed.

Hard Disk

With the Compaq Presario CQ71-320SA Laptop you get a massive 320 GB hard disk which provides more than enough storage space for an average laptop user.

Screen and Multimedia

The most adorable feature of the Compaq Presario CQ71-320SA Laptop is the enormous 17.3″ High Definition HP Brightview Widescreen TFT LCD Display which enables you to enjoy multimedia just like you do on a and LCD television. The extraordinary graphics capabilities arise from the Intel GMA 4500MHD Graphics chipset which does not qualify as a high-end graphic processor yet impressive enough to give you the fullest benefit on an affordable price tag.

However if you feel the need to buy a pure graphic focused laptop then you can check out the Acer Aspire 7540 or the Acer Aspire 5542 laptop that come with ATI Radeon chipsets and additional dedicated graphics memory.
