Good impression of Compaq CQ20 comes right from the product appearance, with its sleek, luxurious chassis design thanks to HP's unique Imprint sinking printing technology. In the middle of the lid is the stylized letter Q made from metal, highlighted between the black circular blocks hidden under the metal cover. Although the body is a bit thick compared to the general ground, in return, the users are fully equipped with connection ports and advanced optical drives.

A notable point in the design of this model is that the DVD burner is on the left side, along with the charger jack, Modem, Ethernet and a USB port. The right side is where two USB ports, an HDMI port, a VGA port, SD / MMC memory card reader, ExpressCard / 34 slot, heat outlet and Kensington lock lock are located. The front edge has headphone and microphone jacks. In addition, on the top edge of the screen, CQ20 is equipped with VGA resolution webcam and two built-in microphones, good support for voice chat with images or participating in remote seminars.

Although the space for the keyboard is not as large as the large ones, the size of the keystrokes is not reduced. Instead, HP has already trimmed down four Home, PgUp, PgDn, and End keys that are often lined up along the edge of the edge to "insert" into the upper row of keys. Therefore, the F1 to F12 keys and ESC, PgUp, PgDn, Home, End, Insert, and Delete keys in this machine are quite small, crowded together in the top row.

The Compaq CQ20's touchpad and touchpad (touchpad) is metal-coated like the Pavilion dv series. It has just contributed to increasing the elegance and sleekness of the machine, while bringing comfort and responsive response when users use the touchpad. Above the keyboard, HP equips Compaq CQ20 with an impressive range of touch keys to activate the media function, turn on and off the wireless connection, turn on and off (mute) and increase or decrease the volume.
