Reviews for the HP Compaq Mini CQ10-688NR

Compaq Mini Netbook – Review
Source: Gadgetmix English Archive.org version
This LTE-enabled netbook is available exclusively from Verizon for $150 wih a two-year contract. Take a look at the Toshiba N550 or something with at the very least a hyper-threaded single-core CPU. For $319 you should take a long, hard look at the new Asus Eee PC 1025CE, with its state-of-the-art 1.86GHz Cedar Trail processor, USB-3 port and 10 hours’ battery time.

40% Compaq Mini Netbook with Verizon 4G LTE Review: A Good Deal?
Source: Notebookreview.com English Archive.org version
The Compaq Mini is like other netbooks we've reviewed: a suitable travel companion but not serious enough to be used as a primary machine. The low resolution screen hampers usability and the overall performance is horrific; it struggles even with basic tasks such as Microsoft Office. There are some positive aspects: the anti-glare screen coating, great keyboard and touchpad, and nearly seven hours of battery. The real reason to get this netbook though is the built-in Verizon 4G LTE network, which is blazing fast. That's one aspect of this machine I can't fault.

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 3150: Integrated (shared memory) graphics card in the intel Atom N4xx CPUs. Minimally faster than an old GMA 950 and therefore not suited for 3D games or HD videos (only MPEG2 acceleration).

These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


Intel Atom: The Intel Atom series is a 64-Bit (not every model supports 64bit) microprocessor for cheap and small notebooks (so called netbooks), MIDs, or UMPCs. The speciality of the new architecture is the "in order" execution (instead of the usual and faster "out of order" execution). Therefore, the transistor count of the Atom series is much lower and, thus, cheaper to produce. Furthermore, the power consumption is very low. The performance per Megahertz is therfore worse than the old Pentium 3M (1,2 GHz on par with a 1.6 GHz Atom).


N455: Intel Atom CPU for Netbooks with integrated DDR3 memory controller and GMA 3150 GPU. The performance of the system should be only minimally faster than the previous Atom N280 / GMA 950 combination.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


10.10":

This is a standard display format for tablet computers or small convertibles. You see more on the screen than on a smartphone but you can't use big resolutions well. On the other hand, mobility is not a problem.

HP: Founded in 1939, the US company is a major server and printer manufacturer and one of the leading IT companies in the world. Until 2015, the company was called Hewlett-Packard Company. After a split, the computer division was renamed HP Inc.

In 2023, HP had an approximate market share of 22% of global PC sales, making it number 2 after Lenovo.


40%: This rating is bad and very rare. There are only a few models that are rated so poorly. If the source is reputable, then a purchase is probably not advisable.
