I am toying between both of these laptops. I would prefer to add more memory when applicable on either but have been unable to find out if this is possible. Has anyone got any advice on which would be the best option?
Compaq presario cq61 401sa
or
hpg61 401sa
Many thanks:)

This one is in between them and with code 5200 only £285 collected , slightly smaller h/d and 2GB ram - you wouldn't notice the difference. See more on hukd0 -
agreed both have almost identical spec but the compaq has faster CPU 2.2 compared to 1.9 and is pentium which is better than celeron.
the only other difference is the HP has bluetooth built in, but any bluetooth adaptor can fix that.
just be sure to burn your recovery disc when you get it so if anything ever goes wrong in the future you can restore it back to the day it came.0 -
