HP continues to sell computers under the Compaq Presario product line years after the purchase. The main focus of these systems has been on the budget oriented consumers. In the past, the Presario notebooks were still designed around their own platform. This seems to have changed both in design and in product model numbers. The new Presario V6600 series of notebooks is essentially a rebadge of the Pavilion dv6000 notebook lineup. Find out if there is really any differences with the Compaq models over the HP models in my latest review.

Can you explain these stats to me?
v.92 56Kbps Modem, 10/100 Ethernet, 802.11b/g Wireless
I understand the rest, but what do these things do? I want to get a laptop that will allow me WIFI connection. Does this do it.
Thanks
All of the items listed in that description have to do with computer networking. One is via telephone, another via wired ethernet and the last via WiFi. For more info about them, I suggest reading:

Thank you so much. This is exacty the info I was looking for as on HP’s website, the HP versio you mentioned is $100 more than the Compaq. I have the Compaq R3000 now and the ONLY problem I have had is that the backlight burned out in 2.75 years. $400 to fix, or $700 for a new updated laptop – I’ll take it. If the processor is the only thing wrong, I’ll deal. Appreciate it!
Ok first off. If you knew anything buddy about processors you would know by now that Intel’s suck and always will suck and here is why. AMD’s specially the Dual core and the 3, and 4 core will always run faster and stronger and longer then Intel will even think about. There piplelines are bigger faster and way more reliable. I hear about Intel’s dieing out way more then AMD’s do. Intel’s are poorly made processors. There top end processor is a cop out for gaming if you do that sort of thing with the trash. It can barly handle Crysis and all with all the streaming and paket transfers. You put up there same core processor on the AMD side and you can run so many other things in the background that its unreal. Intel just needs to take its hits and change its ways.. next time before you put down AMD like that think first before you put a review..
I own this for a year and a half and sometimes the laptop heats up the touchpad, area near the start button and the machine stops. I am very disappointed.
