The CQ70 includes an integrated Web cam, multi-format media card reader and a full numeric keypad. This notebook is fine for home users with relatively basic needs. It should playback DVDs just fine and is ok for basic video editing, but if you plan on working with HD content or playing 3D video games this computer isn’t for you.

The Compaq Presario CQ70 is now available from Circuit City for $579 after a $120 discount and a $30 rebate.
