Compaq CQ61-300SV

The Compaq Presario CQ61-300SV looks more expensive than its Rs. 42,000 price tag. In fact, it looks remarkably similar to its corporate sibling, the HP Pavilion DV Series. The key differences: the Compaq Presario lacks the HP's Imprint finish, opting instead for a monochrome black lid, and it replaces the HP logo with a large silver Q in the center of the lid. Another key difference between the two models is size; the Compaq Presario CQ61-300SV is both slimmer and lighter than the Pavilion DV Series. The Presario CQ61-300SV is also slimmer and lighter than the other budget systems in our back-to-school roundup, which only adds to its upscale look and feel.
