Equipped with integrated ATI RADEON XPRESS 200M PCI Express graphic adapter (shared memory), the Compaq Presario M2512 AU notebook has 15-inch XGA TFT LCD display with BrightView Screen providing maximum 1024 x 768 resolution. With the BrightView technology display, spreadsheets, powerpoint and visuals look livelier with sharper contrast and clearer picture quality.

No OS, No Driver CD, No Manual

The AMD Sempron based Compaq Presario M2512AU supplied by HP in India does not include any operating system, not even the FreeDOS as listed on HP website. It comes with hard drive unformatted (and obviously without any drivers for any OS). There is no seperate driver CD shipped with the notebook either. All required drivers needs to be directly downloaded from HP website.

But the rudest thing a consumer might find, atleast thats what I felt with my delivery, on opening the delivery pack is that there is not even a working manual included with the system.

Weighing under 2.94 kgs, the Compaq Presario M2512 AU notebook PC also features integrated Integrated Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG 802.11 b/g integrated WLAN, intergrated 10/100 ethernet adapter, 56-kbps V90 modem and bluetooth connectivity.
