For Christmas this year I was expecting a PS2 as I wanted to have The Sims and my parents wouldn’t let me have it on the PC downstairs. So Christmas morning I got up at 4:30 and when I opened the Compaq Armada M300 I was absolutely flabbergasted!! The reason they said they got it for me was because I could do my homework on it as well as The Sims. (I got The Sims triple deluxe!) And if I had The Sims on the PC downstairs no-one would get a go, which is probably true!
~~~THE LOOKS~~~
This is a very small black laptop with a touch pad mouse, which I found very difficult to use to start off with, a greyish tinted keyboard with an 800x600 TFT active matrix screen. When it hasn’t got the mobile expansion unit (MEU) attached it’s a very ultra thin! Less than 1inch! There are 2 on/off buttons one by the screen inside the laptop and one on the right hand side on the outside.
~~~PRICE~~~
My parents brought this second hand off of E-Bay at £145 plus £18 postage but the only problem was it didn’t come with an external drive! My parents went searching everywhere for a CD or DVD drives but had no success so they brought one from Compaq. A MEU with a CD drive was £95 but luckily for me they sent the DVD one instead!! He he he! When the MEU is attached to the laptop it doubles the thickness to just under 2 inches.
FLOPPY DRIVE None supplied (DVD Drive supplied with Mobile Expansion Unit)
DIMENSIONS 26.5 x 22.5 x 2.2 CM (adding the MEU Increase the height to 4.4 CM)
WEIGHT 1.4 KG (3LB) or 2.5 KG (5.5 LB) with MEU
~~~HOMEWORK~~~ Now this is the boring part of it!! I use Officeorg which is similar to Microsoft office with text document, spreadsheet, drawing, slideshow presentations and business cards! (Don’t ask why!!) Because I don’t have the internet I have to use encyclopaedias for my research so I have 2 encyclopaedia software packages on it!! The concise Encyclopaedia Britannica and Microsoft Encarta. I think they are both good programmes but Encarta has more information and multimedia.
~~~EXTRAS~~~ This also has a network card and modem for connection to the internet or a Home network and also has one USB port and one PCMIA slot and hopefully after a bit of persuading I will get the internet!! So I can go on ciao without being moaned at!
Thanx for reading
