High on style, as well as price; let's find out if the CQ45-137TX has substance to back its price tag.

Expert Rating:

Excellent 14.1" WXGA screen, Very comfortable keyboard, HDMI Out.

Overall performance doesn't match up to the price it commands, Battery life.

EXPERT REVIEW

It's been a while since we've reviewed a Compaq laptop and the one we've got today is a looker. Presario is a line of Compaq's that wasn't renamed when it got taken over by HP due to the reliability that it implied. The CQ 45 is another in the line of mid range laptops and seems to have a lot of promise, let's see if it delivers.

I am Interested to buy this laptop. It seems to be the best bargain in terms of the configuration and processor we are getting. Is it reliable for durablilty and does it have any heating problem?

I have owned since Oct' 08, good laptop overall, but definitely heating problems and heavy to carry. Fan speed make loud noise and also the adapter. Otherwise the performance for multi-tasking, graphics, etc. arevery good.

Its really slow, it has been three months of use, good look, good configuration but bad performance.

I have bought this laptop. Its really high on style and I am sure it will perform well too. The performance needs to be seen in the long run. I am sure it will live upto its name of Compaq and Hp. They are the market leaders. This laptops is fab when it comes to its looks. Great looks. Good performance.

I think this review is only 20% useful. Rest is just peace of Junk. All comparision are made with Quad Core CPUs, High End Chipsets. This is the best notbbook you can get if you want to spend 40-50k. Rviewer : Dude, this is Indian market, not US.
