Description:
Targeting the demanding home and home office computer user who can't quite afford the absolute latest and greatest in state-of-the-art portable computing, the Compaq Presario 722US notebook is a good tradeoff between price and performance. At 10.6 by 12.4 by 1.64 inches and 6.39 pounds, the 722US is a bit larger than today's most recent examples of micro-miniaturization, yet substantially more compact than many other comparably priced units. Outfitted with a cost-effective 1.1 GHz AMD Duron processor (64 KB of Level 2 cache), 256 MB of SDRAM (expandable to 384 MB), and a Via ProSavage KN133 video card with 32 MB of video memory, it will efficiently run most common notebook applications and even some 3-D games. Hard-core gamers and anyone who plans to work extensively with complex 3-D graphics may wish to look beyond this model to the Presario 725US notebook or Presario 6024US desktop. Sporting a sleek design and a futuristic two-tone, black-on-silver color scheme, the Presario 722US is as stylish as it is functional. To handle your valuable files and programs, Compaq has equipped the unit with a 20 GB hard drive and a 3.5-inch floppy disk drive. A combination DVD/CD-RW drive allows you to back up large amounts of data, burn and play music CDs, and watch DVD movies. A 14.1-inch, active-matrix viewing screen capable of 1,024 x 768 resolution and a three-way JBL speaker system with enhanced bass response help bring all your multimedia applications to life. The 722US keyboard is equipped with numerous one-touch multimedia, Internet, and e-mail buttons, and a scroll wheel and touch pad for convenient navigation. The unit features numerous ports and connections, including two USB jacks for plug-and-play peripherals such as joysticks and digital cameras, a single parallel port for printers, a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet network connection, an all-purpose PC Card slot, a PS2 jack for an external mouse or keyboard, a VGA video out for external monitors, an S-video TV-out, and speaker and microphone ports. A 56K modem delivers low-speed Internet and e-mail connectivity. To help get you started, Compaq has preinstalled a number of useful software products, including Microsoft's latest operating system, Windows XP, Microsoft Works 6.0, and Microsoft Money 2001.
