I love this Compaq laptop now that I have found out its quirks and am using them to my advantage. For instance, the volume control and screen adjustments are software, there are no buttons on the outside of the computer to control these features. The charge cord is long enough for just about anywhere... read full review »

If the Motherboard had not gone dead in 6 months this would be a great computer.  This WAS a great gaming computer.  It was also fast on the net.  The Compac V6000 also has serious heat issues and a lack of USB ports. This computer had no stamina.

I would not reccommend this Laptop. Our hard drive failed within the first year and we had to have it replaced. I had to call the tech support MANY times and you cannot understand nor please the tech support people. I was connected to the United Kingdom when i called them.

They kept trying to tell me that it was a bad wireless card and they would not consider anything else. It was only after the entire thing failed, they did. I had to ship it back and have it fixed, making all my personal information viewable to unknown people.

I will never buy another HP computer from the horrible experience that...

This computer was bought because I wanted "top of the line", fast, reliable, HA.

I also purchased Office Max's "Max Assurance" with the "no lemon" clause. It was a laugh  too!

 I actually had the hard drive replaced twice, the mother board once, the dvd drive twice, then they FINALLY agreed to replace it, (ALL OF THIS IN LESS THAN 1 1/2 YEARS!!)only to get another "HP/Compaq" piece of crap. It was slow, locked up, and also had hardware replaced after only 2 months!!  So, buyers beware!

This Compaq is adequate for a mid level user but needs quite a few improvements to make it a better unit if to be used for business. It works very well for games and kids but when it comes to doing documents and other work related items the compaq is very slow and takes to long .I do not recommend my friends or family to buy this computer.

I love this computer.  Sometimes it cuts off spontaneously and the sound doesn't work but it has it's days.  It is very good for playing games and working online.  I am a college student and am always downloading documents for school and it has a high capacity for storage of files.  Very fast! The games are awesome on this computer! It has never froze! The cd disk has stopped working for a week but starting working again. This computer has it's own personality but is a great product!

I have a Compaq V6444US. At first I like. However for no reason it just stop working after hybernating. It didn't power on, so I sent it to the HP to fix it (it was under warranty). They didn't find any problem... It happen again recently, this time it power on after I let it cool a bit. The laptop is not noisy, so I'm thinking maybe the problem is the cooling system...I had 3 other laptops in the past, and I never have a problem like this before.

Other than that, the laptop is ok.

Well my husband is the IT Expert, but i have a few of my own opinions about the Compaq Presario v6000.  I have had this laptop for about three years now.   The things I like about it:  Good sized clear screen.  Typing is a breeze and it came with a bunch of fun stuff.  Unfortunately,  I keep finding things wrong with it.  The small controls for sound and mute up at the top of the board are broken.  Mute is temperamental and works only when it wants too.  I dont really appreciate moodiness in my computers. lol  It often freezes up on me, although i have never been in the throws of anything...

I bought a Compaq for my daughter for christmas last year and it was a godsend, no more fighting over the desktop computer.

It is easy to carry around for when she goes to friends houses to do homework and she does not have to worry if they have a computer at their house at all or not. Just leave it turned on when you leave home and plug it in when you get to your friends house.

Now I don't have to worry about her not getting her homework done. Easily carried in any type of cloth bag.

Also for parents who have bought a Compaq with just the bare necessities and don't have what the child needs for...

Our household bought 2 of these and we haven't had any problems with them.  They were easy to use right out of the box. Tech support is great.  A great computer for the price.  One of the computers is up and running for more than 10 hours a day.  The speed is decent.  The only thing I wish we had gotten was the lightscribe with it. Will definately consider purchasing another when the time comes.  I really like this machine.

I have to keep up with a website and this computer has been perfect.  I have had it for about 4 months and NO problems.  I would highly recommend this computer to anyone looking for a lower priced yet reliable computer!  I am online all the time networking and this has never let me down.

This cp is not really that good if you are a very busy computer business person. Definitely need to have alot of patience. Buts its ok for simple stuff. The price for it isnt to bad though. It is very thin and light nice clear screen. Jusst have problems with freezing up, power up, internet.

I am a student and this computer has been great for me.I can do all of my school work on it and still have more than enough memory to play music and surf the web at the same time. I would recommend this laptop to anyone who needs a lot of memory and a reliable computer for school or work.

I expected a lot more from this laptop.  It's very cool to the eye, but once you start using it, it's a normal, average laptop. Nothing special.  I could've paid the same or a little more and purchased an extremely better product.  Overall: Average.

I have had this computer for a few months and have only had a couple of problems with it. It has frozen up on me twice, so I recently installed more memory. Hopefully that has solved the problem. Otherwise, great computer. I got it on for a great deal.
