Keyboard problems [Posted on 2006-02-24] This system has a "chiclet style" keyboard with small plastic shells attached on top of the key mechanisms. On my system, several keytops had a nasty habit of falling off. They are not easy to attach back on the keyboard, and eventually will not attach at all.
I called HP customer service. They offered to bring the computer back in for service, replace/repair the keys, then send the computer back to me. Since I had purchased the computer in anticipation of a rather long overseas trip, there was no time for the suggested repair procedure. No alternatives were available for a faster replacement.
The warranty covers the US only. I would have to pay for any repairs performed outside the US.
This became an expensive lesson on avoiding supposedly "brand name quality".
Compaq Presario V5005US Notebook is a dream! [Posted on 2006-03-11] The laptop is beautiful and sleek, with a very comfortable keyboard. It boots rapidly and the resolution is excellent. Couldn't be happier!
Price and product [Posted on 2006-03-16] Great deal for a mid-level laptop, great for school, trips(watch DVDs/play games) and nice to have the 80 gigs for my itunes libary.
Great Laptop for the Price [Posted on 2006-12-20] This is my first laptop, and so far I have had no problems with it. I use it for work, and it is really serving it's purpose well. I like the keyboard especially (I do a lot of typing). I looked at others in the same price range and this one just had a nicer "fit." Great laptop for the price!
Great Notebook! [Posted on 2007-06-01] This Notebook is awesome! It features a built in wireless card and Windows Vista! WARNING! This notebook will have preloaded programs that you may not want! This also features an ultra bright screen!
