 Rating:  - Review of Compaq serviceThis is not a review of this specific model but of Compaq service. I purchased a Presario F762NR four months ago. The screen has now failed. I returned it to Compaq for repair and they refuse to honor the warranty unless I buy an additional warranty. The cost to replace the screen is $2 less than what I paid for the laptop. I have owned many Compaq products in the past and currently have 4 in the house. Compaq service used to be excellent; things have changed. I will no longer purchase any Compaq ... Read More Rating:  - The Best Laptop For MeMy model number is a little different (F767NR) but the specs match and my model may differ only in that I bought it from a bricks and mortar store near my office. Instead of Intel, mine is outfitted with AMD Turion64. The store cleaned up most of the advertising and set it up for me. This may improve the performance. I had someone to take it to when I needed to ask a question. I wanted a laptop because I write and I hate being tied to a desk. I didn't need huge capacity but I wanted ...

Rating: - Nice little laptop for the price, but...For the price you get plenty of ram hard drive space. Performance is decent. Haven't notices any regular processing delays. Cons 1) comes with Vista. You need to really adjust the settings to get it optimal. It tries to install windows updates when you shut down. When I shut down, I want my computer to shut, and I can slap the lid shut. The default setting means I cannot close my lid, as that suspends the system. 2) sound is weak, sometimes I need to have all audio setting ... Read More Rating: - A Nice Low Cost LaptopI like my Presario f761us. I upgraded the RAM to 4GB using two 2GB chips. The weakest thing about it is the graphics card as you can see from the performance rating below.
