Evening guys


Sorry to start a new topic but I am buying a PC from a mate next week and haven’t got a clue if it’s decent. He claims it’s good but he’s a (rag) so I thought I would double check


He has gave me theses details, Black Compaq, Cq57 windows 7hp

Does anyone have one? Is it any good? Thanks again

all in all not bad for £100, although no HDMI out does let it down. It has onboard shared graphics too instead of separate grahics card, but again if you dont use it for gaming then its ideal for the price.

Just a bit suspect why he's getting rid for £100 though as he could still get £150-250 for it on ebay

Thanks for the help and yes sorry it's a lap top. He said he is skint and has a new IPAD now so wanted to get rid (mates rates) I have checked the reviews and it looks a decent lap top. The only info he gave me was a black Compaq, CQ57, Windows 7HP and the serial number (5CB2121CP2)
