Description:
Compaq's Presario 2135US Notebook PC is an affordably priced portable best suited to budget-conscious users who don't need the incredible power and state of the art perks of today's top-level machines. For light to medium duty personal or business applications, general schoolwork, Internet browsing, or e-mail, the Presario 2135US is a wise choice. At the heart of the Presario 2135US is a 1.8 GHz Intel Celeron processor. Compaq has complemented this cost effective CPU with a minimal allotment of 256 MB DDR SDRAM (expandable to 1024 MB) and an ATI Mobility Radeon 4X AGP graphics chipset with 64 MB shared (not dedicated) memory. As such, the unit will efficiently run most common notebook applications but is not the best choice for 3-D games, animation or drawing packages and high-end, high complexity business apps. Sharing the data storage duties is a smallish 30 GB hard disk and a DVD/CD-RW combo drive through which you can burn and play audio CDs, archive data and watch your favorite movies. In its stock setup, the system will not allow you to record to DVD media. At 12.96 by 10.72 by 1.57 inches and 7.25 pounds, the Presario 2135US is slightly below average size and therefore comfortably portable. The unit is equipped with a large 15-inch display screen capable of crystal clear 1024 by 768 resolutions. Other features include two USB 1.1 ports for plug and play peripheral connections, an 88-key keyboard, a Touch Pad with on/off and dedicated up/down scroll surface, and a pair of internal stereo speakers. Communication connectivity options include a 56K modem for low-speed Internet and email access and a high-speed RJ-45 LAN connector. Wireless communication is not offered, nor are FireWire or USB 2.0 ports for fast data interaction with peripherals such as digital camcorders. Pre-installed software includes Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, Microsoft Money 2003, Microsoft Works 6.0, and a variety of multimedia applications.
