CNET reviews HP Compaq Presario line and writes: “While high-end configurations can reach $2,000 or more, Presario models generally have the lowest starting prices of any HP laptop.

If you’re looking for a laptop to use for straightforward productivity and communication tasks, such as word processing and e-mail, a Presario laptop is usually HP’s most cost-efficient option.

Like the Pavilion dv5000, dv4000, and dv1000, the Presario V5000, V4000, and V2000 models are quite similar in terms of looks, features, and component options.

Starting at around $500, the V2000 weighs just more than 5 pounds and has a 14-inch wide-screen display–specs that are virtually identical to the dv1000’s.

Likewise, the V4000 starts at $750, weighs about 6.3 pounds, and has a 15.4-inch wide-screen display–just like the dv4000. And the V5000 is almost a replica of the V4000, only with AMD processor options, and as a result, a lower starting price.” Read full overview of this line at CNET.
