First look: Compaq Presario C752TU

Setu Garg
Compaq has recently launched an upgrade to its hot selling Compaq Presario V740TU notebook. The new Compaq Presario C752TU is better in terms of configuration and a bit cheaper than its predecessor.
Here is the configuration of 752:
- Intel T5450 1.66 GHz Core 2 Duo
- 1 GB Ram
- 160 GB HDD
- 15.4” screen
- 8x DVD Superdrive
- 1.3 megapixel webcam
- Windows Vista Basic
The upgrade of Ram to 1 GB in 752 from 512 MB in 740 increases the performance significantly.
The notebook is suited for casual home and basic usage. It is a good buy as a home desktop replacement and for students. The config is just enough for basic internet usage (surfing, downloading, youtube etc.) and basic multimedia stuff like watching movies, photos and listening to songs. However, it is not enough to run most latest 3D games or to run heavy multimedia applications like Adobe Photoshop, Premier or Flash.
This notebook is available at a MRP of about 36k at most compaq outlets. However, you can get it for as low as about 34k at some some shops in Nehru Place.
Here is how I rate it:
Performance: 3.5
Features: 4
Value for money: 4
Build quality: 3.5
Looks: 3
Overall: 3.5

Those softwares MS office, Tally appear to be business softwares.
@Setu, how can you say its for basic home use ?
For business there could be cumbersome softwares installed.. with database backends. !

@swaroop,
FYI, MS office, Tally etc. do not need a high end config. These are not as heavy as development IDEs like eclipse, RAD etc. and hence can run smoothly on a basic home laptop.
And the plural of software is software and NOT softwares.

@ankur,
Yes, this model has built in Bluetooth 2.0.
Usually, they put 512MBx2 in the 2 memory slots which means you have to discard the existing ones when you upgrade. However, if you upgrade at the time of purchase, the dealer usually buys back the existing memory at a good price.

You should go for at least 2 GB RAM and a fast Core 2 Duo processor.
