Compaq Armada 1530D - Old but cheap as chips

Advantages: cheap to buy used, robust
Disadvantages: Heavy, slow, small hard drive

I bought the laptop used about one year ago, I needed a simple machine for word processing at home, and decided it would be nice to socialise whil working (now I can sit in front of the telly with the family while I do ...

My mum owned it for a while and mainly used it for the internet and a training CD Rom, but I soon aquired it. I installed Windows NT on it and it worked a treat! With a few modifications Windows NT is like Windows 98 but much faster! It wasnt the fastest on this laptop but it was better than windows 98. I had managed ...
...play them in full screen. It was useful for putting on a coffee table and showing pictures which were accessed through the network. It was good for internet browsing up to a certain poiint, and at one time could even handle MSN 5.0 with webcam!! When the external monitor was plugged in, it could manage 16bit colour display, which I supppose was quite impressive. It had MSN 5.0 installed on it, and this worked fine. It also had office 2000 which ...
