UK computer reviews and recommendations for pcs, laptops, desktops, hardware and software providers.

Boasting an Intel Dual core processor running at 1.83GHz and 2GB of memory the C773 will easily cope with any sort of media or office application giving you very good multi tasking and overall performance.  The built in Intel X3100 graphics card is suitable for all types of media and office applications but it will struggle to run any graphically intensive games and is not suitable for video editing. 

The integrated webcam and microphone is a big plus for this laptop thanks to the rising popularity of cheap Internet calls

For your multi media needs the Compaq C773 comes packed full of components.  The 120GB hard disk will suit most users needs but if you are planning on keeping a lot of photo and video files on the laptop then purchasing an external hard drive would be advisable.  The 15.4 inch screen is big enough to view any application in comfort and excellent quality whilst keeping the size of the laptop small.  We like this laptop especially because it comes with a integrated webcam and microphone in the monitor lid which will be ideal for any video calls with your family and friends.  This laptop is also wirelessly enabled for wireless network use. 

In all the Compaq C773 is a good laptop for anyone who needs a computer for working whilst on the move or at home.  It boasts enough processing power to cope with any office and media applications.  The inbuilt webcam and microphone really boosts the credentials as video calls and internet Voice over IP phones become more and more popular due to their cost saving potential.
