i bought this laptop last Dec 2
pros:
ATI Radeon graphics
bluetooth
webcam
good build quality
good price with the features
1 free DDR2 memory slot
no OS (i’m a linux user)
quick charging
cons:
quite hot at the upper left side
shared memory is always 256MB. cannot lower. left me with 768 memory
short battery
notes:
AMD Virtualization is present for those Virtual Machine users, most mobile intel processor dont have it
you should add more memory. theyr just cheap
good for you man! i definitely agree on the additional ram though. i first installed XP on my CQ40 but resigned to Vista, and actually was quite happy with my shift since this machine was probably optimized for Vista after all. work went a lot faster and more convenient.
Plus Virtualization options are better, especially with a hell of a lot of ram and striped HDD partitions, was running two to three XP VPC’s in my Vista at the same time with hardly any lags.
Fan control and LCD brightness also works with Vista only.
I heard the memory can be maxed out up to 8Gs of ram what are the supported memory for this?
kindly send all types of drivers of this Laptop..

Installing Windows XP for this laptop is not advisable since most of the drivers are not available. It will just give you a stop error. Try updating the bios and see if it works
