Product description

Compaq Presario F755US 15.4" Widescreen Laptop

Features

Mid-size laptop: The Compaq Presario F755US is a mid-size laptop, with above-average processing power and everything most people need for basic computing, entertainment and online communication. This model features a powerful dual-core processor as well as premium features including a SuperMulti drive to burn DVDs and CDs, LightScribe technology, DVD Play for entertainment at the touch of a button and Windows Vista Home Premium.

Dual core/64-bit processing: This laptop features the dual-core 1.9GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-58 processor. The Turion 64 X2 has two processing engines that work together, giving this processor much more power than standard 1.9GHz processors. This processor is also capable of processing 64 bits of information at once, twice as much as older 32-bit processors.

  • This laptop features 2GB of DDR2 system memory—enough for all but the most demanding users, gamers and multimedia professionals. DDR2 is slightly faster than DDR, the previous standard in system memory.
  • HyperTransport technology works like a fully-integrated frontside bus that increases bandwidth, reduces bottlenecks and enables processors to work more efficiently.
  • Processors search for the same data over and over. L2 caches keep this data neat, organized, and nearby so it can be retrieved more quickly. This 1MB cache (2 x 512KB) gives the processor a little boost.

Hard drive: This hard drive features a 160GB capacity—more than enough storage space for the average user. This drive’s data disks spin at 5400rpm. The faster they spin, the faster the data is read and written.

Go wireless: Built-in 802.11g wireless LAN gives you a fast connection to a wide range of networks and peripherals. 802.11g is backwards-compatible with 802.11b, so you can connect using the two most popular wireless standards.

Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium: Windows Vista Home Premium is the operating system for homes with advanced computer needs. And Vista Premium features the elegant new Aero interface. You’ll be able to use your laptop more effectively and enjoy new entertainment experiences—all with the benefit of added security and reliability.

DVD SuperMulti drive: Use this drive to burn DVDs and CDs to share your files, music mixes or home movies. You can even burn DVD-RAM discs—specially-formatted discs that let you drag and drop, or write and rewrite your files up to 100,000 times.

LightScribe disc-labeling: Burn custom, silkscreen-quality labels and images onto your discs with the same drive that burns the data.

Widescreen display: This laptop features a gorgeous 15.4" high-definition widescreen display with 1280 x 800 pixel (WXGA) resolution.

Audio/video: This laptop features NVIDIA GeForce 7000M graphics and 335MB of shared video memory, which is drawn from the main system memory. This video memory is perfect for everyday activities like casual movie watching or gaming. The built-in Altec Lansing speakers provide compelling 3D sound.

DVD Play: This feature lets you enjoy DVDs and digital music at the touch of a button.

Stylish design: This laptop delivers a striking design whose overall rectilinear shape is repeated in patterns throughout the system, from the cut-out speaker grill to the vents on the bottom casing. With this handsome surface that resembles matte steel, this laptop stands apart.

Software bundle:
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium, Works, Office 2007 Student and Teacher Edition (60-day trial), and Internet Explorer
Norton Internet Security 2008 (with 60 days of live update)

This is a work horse!
Review posted on Dec 30, 2007

Install battery and turn it on.
Let Vista do it's thing.
Update windows and virus.
Make recovery CDS, takes some time, so grap a cool drink.
Using DVD-R 4.7 GM it will take three, but it was what I had at home.
Then get rid of the BS software and make ityour own.
There are ways to make Vista look like XP without installing XP, just Google it.
This unit feels solid, is fast, great screen and the touchpad is super.
I did get a V220 mouse, but really have found no need for it yet.
Will remove Office 2007 and install 2003, then run update and will be good to go.
No need to pay for what I already have.
I feel this is a good unit at any price.
I own 10 computers in my office and home, thus feel I know something about price and value.
Been working it hard for 12 hours non stop and see no problems. Really working it making files, back-ups and putting it through its steps. Not just e-mailing and normal at home stuff.
I work computers hard and I mean hard.

Excellent laptop and fantastic customer service!
Reviewer: Tom from Cleveland, TN on May 10, 2008
7 out of 7 found this review helpful

During the first use of the laptop, I noticed one bad pixel on the LCD screen. It was just one tiny pixel but I knew it would bother me for the life of the laptop. Circuit City readily exchanged the laptop for another. They no longer had any stock items only laptops that the staff had optimized for faster performance. The optimization normally is a $39.93 charge. Without any haggling, the charge was dropped and the switch was made.

I have been using the computer for one and a half weeks without any difficulty. HP has installed a lot of proprietary software that you may or may not like. It is easily removed. It runs cool compared to my previous laptop, starts and shuts down faster and opens programs in a snap.

It is fast, efficient and priced right.
