Compaq CQ2009F Desktop PC Review
Compaq CQ2009F Desktop PC Review from Jeffrey Chan. Small, inexpensive, quiet, fast enough, low power consumption, Works fine as a web terminal, casual-use home computer, etc. A tremendous value with a dual-layer DVD writer, reasonably large SATA drive, etc. Full-sized Western Digital SATA hard drive is a bit noisier than I’d like but not overtly noisy. Case is very small, and case fan noise is not too obtrusive. Measures about 30 Watts of power consumption, a small fraction of full-sized desktops which usually use 100 to 200 Watts. Analog video on VGA connector is appropriate, but adding a HDMI could be useful for connecting to a digital TV. Probably HDMI is not available on the nettop/netbook chipsets typically used with the Atom CPU.
Performance is adequate. Doesn’t quite feel as quick as the Atom can after adding AVG antivirus and particularly Zonealarm firewall software. Still fast enough for casual web surfing, etc.
Overall very good for its intended purpose. Computers needn’t be big, expensive or power hungry to meet the needs of most home users, and this is a good example.
