Good Points

Beautiful and light, shiny screen, fast and came with everything that I wanted: 1GB RAM, 100GB Hard drive, ML34 1MB cache, DVD dual layer lightscribe, USB, FIREWIRE, WIRELESS & more than 2 hour use of battery. Runs cool, fan doesn't have to come on for a long time.

Bad Points

NO SERIAL PORT. The bottom case is a little flimsy, not very solid as other laptop but time will tell if it would last.

General Comments

The HP Compaq Presario is my first laptop ever, I've always been an AMD fan, after looking at the reviews of AMD Turion I decided this is the one for me. I got it for under $799 after rebate @ Fry's electronics. This laptop is like a potent portable desktop, well it's not as fast as my AMD XP 2500+ barton core with SATA 7200RPM drives. This fujitsu hard drive only spins at 4200 RPM as designed. Windows XP 64 or NOT?
I tried the XP 64 on one partition and I had to search to get all the drivers for it, after all said and done, it's slower than the Windows XP 32 bit that comes with it so I uninstall the XP 64. Don't waste your time on the XP64.
Here is my test, since I make home movies a lot due to having little baby at home.
DVDLAB PRO 1.5- Compiling 3.3GB DVD video with motion Menu & chapters
V2575US windows XP = 17:48 minutes
V2575US windows XP 64 = 18 minutes
Desktop 2500+ Barton w/sata 7200 RPM drive 1GB RAM = 13:25 minutes.
Both desktop & laptop running @ 1800 MHZ FSB.
The time difference is the RPM of the drives 4200RPM(ATA) vs 7200RPM(SATA)
The access speed on drives are the same ~ 42MB/sec vs 46MB/sec.

I'm really happy with this laptop. I could have paid $100.00 more to get the 17" or 15'4" screen, but then it's not very portable to me, the 14" is perfect, nice and light and widescreen.
