Not dual core. "This is one terrific buy. Much faster than I thought for a single core Celeron. I helped an elderly neighbor select a new laptop after her ancient one died. from Bestbuy.com What's great about it:?everything,great price,weight,portability,screen,color What's not so great:?nothing,except maybe the batery life-its short,its good anyway "im a homeschooled kid and this is my first laptop ever..i searched forever for a laptop like this it was between the toshiba and the compaq and i picked the compaq its nicer looking,its great to put school work on,it has a full keyboard and its just amazing..i would of bought it sooner if i would of looked harder..i would let everyone know they should buy this laptop from Bestbuy.com The huge screen makes it a liitle heavy to carry around but its still very portable. The built in Wifi makes it easy to pick up a signal and the nuber pad is very convient. The processor gets things done very quickly. The only thing that could fix this laptop is a longer battery life. from Bestbuy.com Was able to get Vista to stop looking for Norton easily enough. Whatever comes preloaded takes 25% of the harddrive right off the bat, but I'm not worried about space as I have a Mybook on hand for storage anyway (also welll worth the money). I like to sit in bed with my legs up, bottom of laptop resting in my lap to watch TV shows, but if I want to use headphones, I have to sit up and lay laptop flat like its on a desk because the headphone plug is in the front of the unit, instead of the side. I wanted the number keyboard and am happy to have it for Quicken, but it is rather odd to mostly type off to the left side and never be positioned directly in font of the middle of the screen. from Bestbuy.com Touch pad - It does get a while to get used to it. it gets alot of smudges too. PC - Intel Celeron might sound slow but its FAST!!!! 160GB is enough for me. from Bestbuy.com 1st gamecube, broke. 2nd worked. wii broke, ps3 works, compaq broke, camera, messed up but works. back to the laptop. from Bestbuy.com What's great about it:?Memory, keyboard (numeric), price What's not so great:?Nada "I just purchased one of these based on the reviews that I've read here...if this little computer lives up to my expectations, I'll be so very grateful!I've had a HP Presario laptop for almost 10 years now, and it's served me great. If this new one will do as well, I'll be extremely happy. from Bestbuy.com What's great about it:?Take it out of the box and go, great sound, Perfect Display What's not so great:?Everything's perfect "I got this laptop for my birthday, and its the best ever. It's ten times faster than my desktop computer that we paid tons for. At first I thought that the celeron processor would be slow but it acts just like a pentium processor even after I transfered my 3,000 songs and videos. The display is fantastic you couldn't ask for more. from Bestbuy.com What's great about it:?Price/Performance Ratio What's not so great:?Kinda big, Short battery life "I've owned a dozen laptops from high-end mobile workstations and gaming rigs to "el cheapo" budget crawlers. For the money, you can't beat what you're getting here. I would have preferred a matte screen since I don't like the reflectiveness of the glossy but I can deal with it. Also, after having a netbook, this thing seems huge. from Bestbuy.com What's great about it:?Affordable What's not so great:?Not so reliable, could be faster. "I bought this model against the advice of the Best Buy associate. from Bestbuy.com
