I purchased this laptop for £150 in july last year and since I purchased it, the processor speed has fluctuated between 450Mhz and 700Mhz. the speed does not drop enough to cause a major problem... more

    4 Stars Unstable - I Would Avoid 16/07/2000
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Fast, sleek looking, DVD player (Win98), good driver support

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Unstable, feels delicate not robust

    Working in technical support for a major healthcare company, I get to see a lot of Armada M700s. Compaq have admitted that faulty batches were sent out but this machine seems to be very unstable. It looks very smart with its black case (has a PIII 650MHz processor and 64MB RAM), blue mouse pointer in the middle of the keyboard and the newer ones coming with a DVD/CD drive (but you must have Win98 to use DVDs). As this is a notebook, the floppy drive and CD drive are interchangeable. If you want to use them both at the same time a parallel cable is provided so you can run the floppy drive from ... more

    4 Stars no problems so far - seems like an v.good notebook 25/09/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages inbuilt modem, networking, usb, infrared support, light, fast

    Disadvantages Disadvantages no touchpad on this model, down arrow key, typing comfort

    I got my M700 at the companies reccomendation - normally I would have chosen a dell but so far I've been very impressed. My machine was the 700 Mhz with speedstep and I went for 196 Mb Ram and the DVD option (which I haven't used yet) I'm running Windows 2000 and quite a lot of software including things like pc anywhere SAP and SQL server. as standard it comes with a nipple not a touch pad and although its quite straightforward I normally use a mouse. The screen (14.1) is very clear and the casing seems strong -(although a problem I and a few others have noticed is the down arrow key often ... more

    5 Stars Quick review of Compaq Armada M700 by Level 1 mcfuson 30/07/2009
    I bought this used in 2008 which makes it an old computer. It is a p3 750, 320 mgs memory, 20gig hard drive. Its now running win xp pro. In the years and a half ive owned it it has worked great. Its in near perfect condition. Its far from the laptops you can buy now but it was well worth the 150 I gave.

    4 Stars recommended for word processing and internet 21/02/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages nice size, quite rigid, screen is very clear

    Disadvantages Disadvantages speed regularly fluctuates between 450Mhz - 700Mhz, system hangs on standby

    I purchased this laptop for £150 in july last year and since I purchased it, the processor speed has fluctuated between 450Mhz and 700Mhz. the speed does not drop enough to cause a major problem but it can still be annoying. the memory is quite a good amount for simple word processing tasks but if you regularly have a lot of applications open then you might notice a significant drop in performance. the battery life is incredible and many times I have been using it at college and my friend, who also has a laptop, has had to recharge his laptop twice in the amount of time this laptop can last on ... more
