The HP Compaq Presario V3000T delivers an impressive blend of portability and style. Like the DV2000 system’s, this one has a amazing new look, with a shiny and brushed-silver finish on the outside and a sleek, black resin finish inside. You will also be quick to notice the sporty grille above the keyboard, which houses the “Altec Lansing speakers”. Some may prefer dv2000t because of its built in web camera, but you wont find a better budget “dual core” notebook than the V3000T.
The V3000T is powered by “Intel’s 1.6-GHz Core Duo” T2050 with 512MB DDR2 memory. A Mobile-Mark 2005 score of 208 with a Wi-Fi enabled is just average for this class of notebook:; a bump up to a 2GHz chip and another 512MB RAM will provide a significant performance boost but will set you back an additional $200 USD. Also, multimedia enthusiasts will likely find the 60GB hard drive very small for storing lots of digital audio and video files.Wireless through – put was decent, with the “V3000T” averaging 12.8 Mbps at a distance of 15 feet from our access point, and 11.8Mbps at 50 feet. The V3000T offers plenty of connectivity options like including three USB ports, VGA, FireWire, and S-Video outputs, and an Expansion port connector. There is also a 5in1 memory card reader.[HP]
