Amazon.com Product Description
Though its raw processor speed is only average, Compaq's new Presario X1010US Notebook PC is a front-runner in most every other sense. Impressively lightweight and comparatively affordable, the unit is nevertheless fitted with enough top-flight amenities to satisfy even diehard desktop users.

The Presario X1010US sports an interesting selection of power components. At the heart of the system is a seemingly middle-of-the-road 1.3 GHz Intel Pentium M CPU. Yet this processor also features 1 MB of Level 2 cache, which, when combined with the unit's generous 512 MB DDR SDRAM memory allotment and powerful ATI Mobility Radeon video chipset (32 MB dedicated memory), keeps real time data access and computation speeds acceptably snappy, even when churning through 3-D applications such as games and graphic design packages.

The Presario X1010US is no slouch when it comes to file storage and movement. Sharing the data duties is a spacious 60 GB hard disk and a DVD/CD-RW comination drive through which you can burn and play audio CDs, archive data, and watch your favorite movies on the system's oversized 15.4-inch WXGA WVA display screen (1280 x 800 resolution).

Communication options include a 56K modem for low-speed Internet and email access, a high-speed RJ-45 LAN connector and integrated Intel Pro/Wireless 2100 802.11b wireless LAN. Other important features include an 88-key keyboard with touch pad and scroll bar, an IEEE 1394 connection for quick interaction with external peripherals such as digital camcorders, a trio of fast USB 2.0 ports for other plug and play devices, and a pair of internal JBL-designed speakers.

At 14 by 10 by 1.3 inches, the Presario X1010US is relatively long but comfortably slim. It is also conveniently lightweight at a mere 6.5 pounds. Bundled software includes Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, Microsoft Works 7.0, Microsoft Money 2003 and Intervideo WinDVD.

very good LCD monitor.......2007-02-22

I purchased this monitor today to replace my o-o-old Dell CRT monitor. It really works well. Very clear images both for stills and video.Resolution is good, no strain to my eyes.
The small brochure along with the monitor is not clear enough on many aspects. It does not say anything about installing the driver software either before connecting the monitor or after. I had to get help from a friend to figure it out.( Sorry I am not a computer pro!!)
The brochure say to insert the CD and install the driver software for XP/windows 2000. I could not get my computer do this job at all. May be mine is XP and a simple plug and play does the job?
The monitor settings are a little confusing to learn, but the auto adjustment feature is really cool. No more hitting seveal buttons to position the images up and sown and sideways and adjust other features as in a CRT monitor.
The picture demonstration about connecting the monitor to the base is really obsolete, you can not make out anything from it (although it is a simple job that can be done without a manual).
The monitor can not be tilted/ position adjusted- that is a great draw back.
Overall it is good bet for the price ie with $100 mail-in -rebate

Great monitor, awful stand.......2007-01-09

The monitor itself works fine but be aware the stand for it is not height adjustable nor can it tilt, making it very difficult to use. I will likely return it, it's a great screen just not very usable without being able to adjust it. And I'm not a kid.

Fantastic!.......2006-07-24

I am completely blown away by this monitor. The look is great, the response time is excellent and works incredibly well. I was honestly looking for a Viewsonic 912A, a 19in monitor, but my fiancee suggested I get this one as it was 100 dollars less for only two inches. My gaming geek side snobbed at her lack of knowledge at how inches so greatly influence gaming. However, I did reluctantly buy this model and was flattened at how good it is. I had nary a complaint with this monitor. If you need to pinch your pennies, but want a good fast responding LCD monitor and don't mind sacrificing a few inches then this monitor is for you. Kudos to Samsung!
