Compaq CQ20-317TU Review
Compaq, one of the used to be not so great quality of laptop, which was acquired by HP, has now become one of the favorite choice of laptops by most people.
This time, I will share on the 12″ version, which design is not much different compared with the CQ40 (the 14″). The only difference in their design is on the additional details on the shell. We shall get more detailed into that later on. And it looked much slimmer.
Specifications as follows:
Compaq CQ20 – 317TU
12″ WXGA Display
Intel Core 2 DuoT6400 2.0 GHz
2 GB DDR2, 320 GB HDD
DVD Lightscribe Super Multi DL
Card Reader, Wireless 802.11 b/g
Webcam 1.3 MP, HDMI, Bluetooth
The one we are looking at here is powered by Intel Core 2 Duo processor with Lightscribe capable Super Multi Drive.
And here is the touch pad with buttons, which is way softer than CQ40. Its slightly better to use, although it might be sticky sometimes. I still prefer non glossy touch pad.
For connectivity, it is much equiped, with Express Card Slot, Card Reader, HDMI, USB ports and the standard VGA Out port.

On front left corner, lays the Card Reader which came without a dummy unit. From few reviews, it seems that this slot is not user friendly.
