Amazon.com Product Description

If you haven't upgraded your portable computer for some time, Compaq's Presario 2570us Notebook PC is ample proof of just how much the price vs. performance ratio has changed in the last few years. Though not a top-of-the-line thoroughbred when compared to today's costlier upscale offerings, the Presario 2570us is nevertheless far more powerful than comparably priced notebooks of just a year or two ago and quite ready to handle many of today's most demanding applications.

Measuring 12.9 by 10.72 by 1.79 inches and weighing 7.5 pounds, the Presario 2570us is comfortably portable yet equipped with enough firepower to drive most anything you might normally reserve for your desktop. Compaq has loaded the unit with a 2.4 GHz Intel Pentium 4 processor, 512 MB of DDR SDRAM memory (upgradeable to 1024 MB) and an ATI Mobility Radeon graphics chipset with 64 MB of shared (not dedicated) video memory. As such, the system should suffice for all 2-D and many 3-D applications, though it may have frame rate troubles when rendering ultra-complex 3-D games and animation/drawing packages.

The Presario 2570us features several welcome amenities, including a handy 3.5-inch diskette drive, an oversized 15-inch XGA TFT display screen (maximum resolution 1024x768), an 88-key keyboard, a TouchPad with scroll bar and on/off switch and a pair of JBL Pro speakers. At 40 GB, the enclosed hard disk is adequate for most purposes but may not offer enough room for today's true power users. The system's optical drive permits CD and DVD playing and CD recording but does facilitate the burning of DVDs.

With the Presario 2570us, your communication options are virtually limitless. In environments with wired connections, you may select form a low-speed 56K modem or high-speed 10/100BASE-T Ethernet LAN. When hardwiring is a problem, you can stay in touch with the unit's integrated 54g wireless LAN. Other key components include a trio of fast USB 2.0 ports, a single IEEE 1394 port for interaction with devices such as digital camcorders, a single PC Card slot, and a standard array of connections.

Compaq 2570US review.......2006-04-20

I am a computer engineer and am familiar with many laptops. I bought this one and it has some strong points and week ones. What is good is that this is the first laptop where all the software works. Totally amazing. Burning CD's, wireless, Infrared, etc. The downers are the built in speakers which are terrible but maybe mine were defective from the start. This pc generates a lot of heat which causes the fans to turn on and the fans are real loud. People always ask me what's that noise and I tell them it's the laptop fans. I refinished a table and the heat from the bottom fans would cause the table to emit an oder from the varnish. I ended up putting a bare piece of wood under laptop. Another problem is the keyboard keys are very stiff. You really have to press hard or you will constantly mistype. Lastly is the battery life. I think when new I got 1.5hrs but now about 18 minutes. I bought a replacement battery from atbatt last week and battery was defective so I'm waiting for them to send me a replacement.

A very reliable, and capable computer.......2005-09-19

I've had a few Laptops in my time, and some have been dogs. However this one isn't one of them. True the computer is slightly heavier than others, however it has a very solid feel, and everything is intergrated nicely, and works together well. I'm not sure why the other reviewer said his shuts down, but mine has worked reliably for months, and has never had that problem. As for the battery life, it is average as far as that goes. My previous laptop was a VPR Matrix from Best Buy, and the battery went from 2.5 hours to 10 minutes in the span of a year.
The shining part of the machine in my eyes is the wireless connectivity. With this Compaq I've connected effortlessly, and with stronger signal than with other machines I've tried with before. Especially valuable if your a road warrior and stay at hotels which feature WiFi.

Bottom line, I like it, and it is reliable.

Toaster.......2005-03-03

Piece of CRAP.... It has all the bells and whistles but it can stand the heat that these options produce. Three very loud ventilators start after 10 minutes and if you are using decent software or video. It turns off on its own after an hours work because it is too hot.

Not for Windows2000.......2004-04-21

I bought one of these 2500 series laptops and tried to install windows 2000 on them, and it was a nightmare. The ATI Radeon drivers are nowhere to be found. The default drivers crash Windows 2000. The supplied Broadcom Wifi drivers work, but the Wifi config utility is unstable under Windows 2000.

I've never had this much trouble setting up any other laptops under Windows 2000 as I've had with this baby.

Compaq is cheap, no doubt, but next time, I'm going with a Dell or Sony.

Presario 2570us.......2004-04-11

It's a decent notebook. The processor is adequate as is the hard drive. I had a little trouble setting up the wireless network, but I got it working. Love XP pro and the built in firewire. Terrible, terrible battery life. I got about 1hr and 40min w/wifi on and about 2hr without. The speakers were pretty weak, but not inaudible.

LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!.......2006-10-07

I've used this camera for almost 10 years and it's just about perfect! I am an amature but I am always hearing about the professional quality of my pictures! People are always amazed when I say, "I just point and shoot! The camera does all the work for me!" =)

Nikon is a relieable quality company and they offer 24 hour support! You will be very pleased! =)

Love This Camera.......2006-01-10

I'm diving into the realm of photography. I have always loved it, and now it was time to buckle down and become serious. I bought this camera and never looked back. This camera is by far the best camera I have ever owned. I love all the control I have over my photography. I never become disapointed and the pictures come out perfect everytime. I don't recomend this camera for a beginner, the controls are way to advaced for most. This is a good camera for a serious photographer or student. I used to think my Minolta was unable to be beat, until I got this camera.

On the N-90s.......2003-11-03

This is the best digitally controlled 35mm SLR I have ever used. The price tag may be high, but the features you get in one package make it worthwhile. The auto focus lock button and auto exposure lock button are located where they should be. The auto focus selector (single, continuous, manual) allows full control in every situation. The metering system is extremely accurate, and the built in spot meter is a plus. The control dial rather than an arrow up/down configuration gives you much faster control. I recommend this camera for the professional, or students. The vast amount of digital control might be confusing for the beginner.

Panasonic RF-SW50 Shockwave Portable Radio .......2007-09-04

This is the third radio I've had. It gets good reception and is easy to use. I tend to be rough on the radios I've had and they last well. The previous two eventially begin to turn themselves off. I tried a similar Sony radio and the static and hiss were unbearable.

I would recommend this radio.

It's alright.......2007-08-29

I think it is way too expensive for just a radio. i bought it 3 years ago to go running. this was before mp3 players were getting popular. I ran with it and it lasted and I think it still works but honestly for just a radio it is not worth it. I still have scars on my arm from the armband and it was a lot bigger than it looked online.

Radio is nice - but was expecting more.......2007-01-11

This radio is nice. The buttons are easy to use, only uses one battery, shows battery status, but I was expecting better reception of hard to receive stations which I don't find to be the case. My mom however lives in Toronto where stations often overlap and she finds it works excellent for separating close frequencies. She owns two.

Panasonic portable FM/AM Radio.......2007-01-04

This was a great purchase.This product has a good sound is of good quality and is perfect for walking or doing chores around the house.I'm so glad I purchased it!

Save Your Time and Effort.......2006-10-11

I'm always out in the car listening to a good radio show when I get home and want to continue listening. I searched the internet for a portable radio within my means and found this. From the reviews I read it seemed like a reasonable choice. Well don't waste your time. Even with digital tuning I got so much static I could not enjoy listening to the program. I also tried switching to city mode. You could twist the radio around for better reception but it still not give you anything static free.

It's pretty cool........2007-05-20

If you have a scanner and are trying to get ultralow bands, then this is for you. It does what is says it does, but it isn't going to change the way you do scanning.

It's a nice accessory and building it was a bit tricky but nothing god awful. Take your time and be patient.

Overall it gets a 4 because the price seems a bit much for what you get and the case that comes with it isn't a "perfect fit", some of the knobs stick out a bit more than I would like. However, it does do a nice job of getting lower bands in and also is compact which is all I needed it for.
