In the words of the immortal Steve Irwin, “What a little beauty!”  This Compaq Presario V2720WM from Walmart.com is slim and lightweight and is as much a fashion-accessory as a powerful computing tool.  Here, see for yourself:

Weighing in at just 5.4 lbs, this affordable laptop computer features a 14.1″ widescreen monitor with BrightView WXGA display, capable of resolutions up to 1280 x 768.  It’s powered by a ATI Radeon Xpress 200M video processor.  This notebook comes with Windows XP Home edition, but is “Windows Vista capable”, so you’ll be able to upgrade as soon as Vista is released if you want to stay on the cutting-edge.  The 1.8Ghz AMD Sempron processor and 512MB of RAM are suitable for Vista, but you may want to optionally consider upgrading your RAM, even to the maximum of 2GB, for the best performance.

As well as looking good, this budget laptop is suited for tough computing tasks.  It has a 60GB hard drive, and a CD-RW / DVD-ROM combo drive for watching movies or burning CDs.  Integrated stereo speakers ensure that any music you burn will sound great.  Extremely portable, the Presario V2720WM is equipped with a multitude of connectivity options, including 54g 802.11b/g WLAN, so you can take it to your closest hotspot (Starbucks, anyone?) and work with ease.   Preloaded software, including Microsoft Works and Microsoft Money will help you complete your office tasks quickly.

A powerful notebook computer at a budget price doesn’t come along every day.  This would be a perfect holiday gift for a loved one who’s always on the go, and you can order it from Walmart.com.  Shipping is free if you pickup your purchase at your local Walmart retail outlet.
