It's always good to remember that there are other things in life aside from a new portable computer. To that end, Compaq has designed its Presario V5005US 15.4" Notebook PC to not only handle all the most common mobile tasks, but to do so without breaking the bank. The unit is not quite a power user's dream come true, featuring a cost-effective yet battery efficient AMD Sempron CPU and so-so 3D graphics. Yet the decidedly economical Presario V5005US isn't entry-level in every aspect, offering such perks as high-speed wireless connectivity, double-layer DVD support, and a DVD-friendly widescreen display. Ultimately, if you're looking for a top-notch business machine or a gaming and/or entertainment powerhouse, this is not your notebook. But if you need an affordable unit for on-the-road computing essentials such as sales and customer tracking, finances, word processing, and email and Internet access, you've come to the right place.
