HP Compaq CQ2035D a slim Nettop





HP Compaq start reaching net-top segments that use the Intel Atom processor. Net-top it's self is a mini desktop with a more simple features that take advantage of these processors. As generally net-top circulating at this time, the segment is the computing needs of users with a simpler, both in the home or office.

With Intel processors Atom330 (dual-core) with a 1.6 GHz clock, this product segment that is asserted market. This processor is embedded on the motherboard so that you can not upgrade the processor at any time later. To muffle the temperature is hot, use passive heat-sinkson the North-bridge chip set and processor.

This system is equipped with Intel 945G chip set, with the on board graphics that support Directs 9.0 features and Shader Model 2.0. Although not officially support effects in Windows Vista optimally, we find this operating system running on the net top is good. Moreover, the HP Compaq CQ2035D include Windows Vista Home Basic as the operating system. However, according to InfoKomputer info, with specification of this system, would be better if it only been a Windows XP.

In addition, the onboard graphics chip Intel GMA950 was not ideal if the application will be used for various classes of games such as popular at this time. This added more RAM to the VGA partly borrowed from main memory, which in turn will reduce the overall system performance. Therefore, the more appropriate if the device is only used primarily for running applications such as Internet, or run various office applications.

Main memory systems provide only one slot (using a RAM with a 1GB DDR2-800). You can do this upgrade RAM to 2GB maximum size. Expansion slots that are available only practical one PCIe x1 slot. On the slot itself, has been a 56Kbps modem media as a pro-Internet. However, we are more like if the slot is used as a Wi-Fi cards with the Wi-Fi. This is because the use of dial-up modem at this time is not too popular again over the availability various broadband connection via mobile network.

This device also provides Multimedia card reader as a media storage and media transfer multimedia files from the camcorder to a digital camera. Support includes Secure Digital card (SD), Multimedia Card (MMC), Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC), Multimedia Card Plus (MMC Plus), xD media (xD), Memory Stick and Memory Stick Pro (MS-Pro).

Uniquely, this does not include nettop power supply that is integrated in his casing. Where power is taken? In fact nettop use this adapter as supply power. Use this adapter voltage 8.5 volt only. Many of the required voltage components in the nettop ultimately provided by a series of VRD (voltage regulator down) motherboard. If you see positive side, this makes the nettop only require electrical power is relatively small.

***

As Nettop, offered what HP and Compaq CQ2035D ideally suited to use as a medium for working-class multimedia and light. Although the features was sell somewhat limited, this solution is quite interesting if you want to build a second PC or a PC as education for those who want to know more about computers. With the package that included a mini keyboard and mouse, you can add an LCD monitor to make it neat and keep electricity sparingly.

PLUS: The form of interest; electricity sparingly; DVDRW LightScribe support; included multimedia card reader.

Minus: The ability to upgrade is limited; without Wi-Fi facilities.
