HP Compaq Presario V5000Z
This Compaq Presario notebook rolls strong performance and high quality ATI Radeon Xpress 200M graphics hardware into an efficient and affordably priced package.
The double-layer DVD burner with LightScribe technology is a nice bonus, making it easy to watch and burn DVD videos.
Disadvantages include a thick and slightly heavy design, and shorter than average (2.5 hour) battery life.
The Presario V5000Z might not be the best choice for frequent travelers, but it does pack a lot of high end features into an affordable machine.
