$399 Compaq CQ61 Notebook Goes Where Netbooks Only Tred

HP is blurring the line between notebook and netbook with the CQ61 notebook. The 15.6-inch notebook from the budget Compaq line starts at a price definitely in the netbook range — $399. The CQ61 has what you’d expect inside for that low price, primarily an AMD Sempron processor. It’s not totally bare-bones however, with 2 GB of memory and a 160 GB hard drive at that low price. Consumers considering a netbook strictly based on price might want to give one of these a good, hard look. And those of you who thought the Compaq budget line at HP was dead should note that HP told us that the Compaq brand is a multi-billion dollar line for them globally.
