Just a small but not really big add on. You can't play high res games on it, but I do play Dawn of War, Dark Crusade on it. BTW, I'm moving this laptop discussions over to the <a href="http://www.philippinelaptops.com/2007/10/04/shopping-for-the-compaq-presario-bt1957tu-laptop/" rel="nofollow">Philippine Laptops</a> website.

I had done some preliminary research before I shopped and I liked the B1957TU specs. It was both light and powerful. I went to Megamall to buy the B1957TU from Complink because that's where I saw it before. It was priced at P59,950 in their brochures. When I got to Complink, they told me it was out of stock. I decided to go around the different computer shops there and found the same model in Villman. It was, as you say priced at P79,950. I asked Villman directly about the price they had P79,950 and told them Complink was offering the same laptop for only P59,950. The tech guy called up their manager. I showed them the Complink brochure as proof of the pricing. Viola! They gave in. They gave the laptop to me at P59,950. The tech guy says that a newer version of the Presario BT1900 series is coming out, that's why they can lower the price. Go figure. Hi Louelle, great questions.
