Nicely affordable and easily mobile, the HP Compaq Presario F755US notebook PC will keep you productive wherever you roam thanks to its large, bright 15.4-inch LCD and built-in 54g Wi-Fi networking (802.11b/g).

Its 15.4-inch WXGA BrightView display supports High-Definition playback and audio enhanced by built-in Altec Lansing speakers. Digital photo management is made easy with preinstalled HP Photosmart Essentials.
