Compaq Presario M2000Z Review

by Carla Thornton

- Above-average audio highlights the Compaq Presario M2000Z, a boxy AMD processor-based laptop that sells for just over $1300. Like most Compaq notebooks, the M2000Z's case colors are the ubiquitous black and silver, but its unusual grooved base looks cool and gives it extra traction. Well equipped for its price, the M2000Z conveniently places a fixed double-layer DVD burner, a seven-in-one card reader, and two of its three USB ports on the right side of the case. Front audio jacks make plugging in headphones a snap. Left-side connections include an expansion port for HP's versatile $249 xb2000 notebook stand, which is a great addition due to the fine set of built-in Harman Kardon speakers, and an internal bay that can accommodate a 160GB hard drive. (With the M2000Z's maximum internal drive size of 100GB--our review unit had an 80GB--maximum storage comes to an impressive 260GB.) The xb2000 stand also includes composite and S-Video outputs, plus three additional USB 2.0 ports.
