Another deal on offer here. Not the best of deals but a Compaq Presario F762NR Notebook PC for just $400 is a good deal in my book. Staples has a Compaq Presario F762NR Notebook PC on sale for $400 after $147 instant rebate. This Compaq Presario F762NR Notebook is not the top of the line laptop by any means but for a web surfer and for people who doesn’t need much processing power or don’t want to play new games on it, this is a good choice. Compaq Presario F762NR Notebook is not the lightest of laptops as it weighs 5.68lbs but for $400 who cares. The regular price of Compaq Presario F762NR Notebook at staples is $546.98 but after a $147 instant rebate, the price comes down to $400. For those who want to know, here are the specifications for this Compaq Presario F762NR Notebook:

• AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core TK-57 (1.90GHz) processor
• 1GB of pre-installed RAM (Expandable to upto 3GB if needed)
• 120GB (5400RPM) SATA Hard Drive
• Super Multi 8X DVD-R/RW with Double Layer Support
• 15.4″ WXGA High-Definition BrightView Widescreen display
• NVIDIA GeForce 7000M with up to 287MB
• 802.11b/g WLAN

This Compaq Presario F762NR Notebook comes with Windows Vista OS pre-installed so I don’t think 1GB of RAM will cut it. If it were me, I would remove Windows Vista and install Windows XP. Compaq Presario F762NR Notebook has a battery that will last up to 2.5 hours depending on what you are doing. Compaq Presario F762NR Notebook comes with a 1 year warranty. The design of this Compaq Presario F762NR Notebook looks slick (better than a Vostro 1500 looking at the picture). If it were me, I would buy this laptop in an instant. I already have one (Dell Vostro 1500) so I don’t need another, otherwise I would have bought Compaq Presario F762NR Notebook. Good value for the money.

A Compaq Presario T2310 laptop provides a lot for $449, well the built in graphics card is not that great and I don’t like the option of Windows Vista Operating system only. Compaq Presario T2310 laptop doesn’t have a PCMCIA slot either so if you want a laptop with one, look for another model. It uses a lot of memory.
