'The build of the IdeaPad Y-Series is sleeker, more contoured, and actually sports two more colors aside from the typical black, which is in stark contrast to the entire ThinkPad line.'
'The plastics feel durable enough to resist cracking under mild abuse, and the matte-black plastic finish shouldn't make scratches stand out as much as they would on a glossy notebook.'
'solid laptop'
'the 1,366x768 native resolution screen looked good, although we've also seen screens this size with higher resolutions.'
'The Compaq CQ62 uses a 6-cell (47Whr) and ran for 3 hours 34 minutes on our MobileMark 2007 battery-drain test, putting it right in range with laptops that use mainstream Intel or AMD processors.'
'The guys at HP-Compaq Presario have done a very good job of sprucing up the Compaq CQ62's look and feel, .'
'Bottom Line: If you can accept a couple of missing features and a squeaky keyboard, the entry-level Compaq Presario CQ62-225nr may win you over with its pleasing design, quiet operation, respectable performance, and decent battery life. '
'Its compact size and enhanced battery life makes it perfect for frequent business travellers, who need to carry and work on their laptops even while travelling.'
'Build quality is relatively solid, if a little plasticky overall, and not helped in our experience by the unusual Scrabble-piece keyboard style - now copied by Apple - with its large spaces between keys.'
