Compaq - Presario V6608AU

[bad_till_bones]

keep that laptop, as its one of the best available.
Unless you got some friends at dell who can whip you up a nice discount, go with compaq V6608AU.

Thinking the same way....

Just heard a rumour that compaq V6608AU has been discontinued

Just heard a rumour that compaq V6608AU has been discontinued

Can someone confirm this plz....

 

[Pathik]

^^ Officially yep. But it is still available in shops. Go get it fast.

Since the v6608's been discontinued, how low can i expect to get it for? What would a good bargain price for this laptop be? With 2gb ram, preferably...

 

[Pathik]

27-28k.

 

[latino_ansari]

The lappy is good for 35K and as far as the 7150M with Turion goes u cant play fifa 08 if u r using vista but it can play it nicely in XP(I own a pavillion with same config) and u can play game like DOOM3, COD4, Bioshock... etc at low resolution....

 

[MetalheadGautham]

doesn't it have a successor with a 1" smaller screen and an added webcam as the changes ?

 

[Cyclone]

Yep....V3749.....buggers here are quoting 34.5 for the 1 gb version.....

Try to find v6608au as some vendors may have some stock still left
u can get a good deal on it as pthik mention 28k would be a good deal. Be sure to ask for 2 GB ram. I am using this model currently with vista and xp in dual boot and everything is working fine

 

[Pathik]

Yep. And the 3749 isnt a good deal at all. Since you can get a Dell Inspiron 1525 at around 37k.

 

[Cyclone]

If I'm unable to find the 6608, could you recommend another suitable model? Preferably with a Turion+nVidia combo, and under 33k.

 

[Pathik]

If you can go that high, it s preferable to get a x3100+c2d combo. Turions are feasible only below 30k.

 

[Cyclone]

Are you sure? And here I was thinking a Turion+Nvidia7150 is better for gaming than a basic C2D+X3100...didn't someone in the forum mention that the 7150 is the best onboard graphics card?

 

[Pathik]

It is. But there isnt much difference. But the c2d outweighs the turion.

 

[latino_ansari]

Hey the x3100 is not that good... It cant even play FIFA 08 smoothly... I tried playing NFSU2 on it... Even on lowest setting its choppy.... According to me X3100 is useless....

 

[juggler]

ya 7150 is a good onboard graphic
you can have alook at v3702au model

 

[Cyclone]

Right....any idea how much I can haggle the 3702au for? With an upgrade to 2GB ram, ofcourse...

Is it new or in second??

If it's new then it's a very gud deal . But if it is in second then look at the condition & time used.
