The Compaq Presario CQ61Z

The folks at Hewlett Packard currently have a smashing Windows 7 laptop deal to help you begin 2010 with a toothy smile, or at the very least a Mona Lisa smile. The base configuration of the Compaq Presario CQ61Z starts at $399 and for that you get a 2.0GHz AMD Sempron Processor, 2GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive and a 15.6 inch brightview display. If you want to keep the deal under $400 there's no bluetooth or webcam with the basic model, but if you dig deeper in your wallet you can have these added as well as an optional HDMI port and Blu-ray3 ROM/DVD writer.

The CD/DVD drive is equipped with LightScribe4 technology which was the first direct to disc labeling technology enabling users to laser etch images to the label side of a CD. It is useful for musicians or home movie buffs who don't want tacky sticky labels on their discs but wish to crank out silkscreen-quality labels for their latest music or movie releases.

The Presario CQ61Z isn't going to turn heads in the airport frequent flyers lounge, but if you're a home user on the lookout for a budget priced Windows 7 notebook to surf the web and partake in some bantam weight gaming, or an independent musician looking for some cheap cd burning, it will suffice.
