Advantages: Slim, Optional Stand, Fast Disadvantages: Only 1 PCI Slot
...In all the Compaqd530 USDT is a lovely machine to work on and to support, its slim design limits the amount of deskspace required and also the option of standing it up like a bookend is also another very appealing feature. The machine in general comes with a very fast Pentium 4 2.4ghz dual processor, 256 MB Ram (min) and at least a 40gb hard drive, so there is alot of nice components inside. The only thing that this type of compaq lacks is additional PCI slots, it comes with a standard 1, but thats all so if you wanted to add anyting more then 1 extra component then you would be stuffed.
We use alot of comapq machines and in terms of use in an office this is more then adequate to run all your normal programs and operating system, there is the option of upgrading or adding further memory if required, but so far i have not felt the need...

Advantages: Good battery life Disadvantages: None yet.
...I have had this laptop for over 2 years now without anything needing to be replaced. The battery life of 4-5 hours is great in a laptop as well. Also, Windows XP will run smoothly on this laptop. I doubt that it will be able to support Windows Vista, but I will try. I mostly use my laptop for school and is perfect for home use. This would make for the perfect investment for your childern or yourself, as it is inexpensive and durable. My mother bought the same laptop when I did and her's still works as well. Compaq has a wealth of troubleshooting and driver downloads available on their website. I will continue to buy compaq in the future....

Advantages: small form factor, cheap, fast, reliable, good support Disadvantages: lack of space to upgrade
...When Compaq was bought out by HP, there was some concern as to the loss of the Compaq brand and a reduction in quality of desktop and server machines.
I am pleased to say that this has not happened. The CompaqEvoD510 is a worthy machine and packs a lot of power into a small space.
The basic specs of the machine are:
2.4GHz Pentium 4, 256MB, 40GB, CD-ROM, onboard sound, AGP Video, LAN, Modem, black case, TFT monitor
Available from £600+vat (even PC World are keeping prices on this quite low) the machine definitely has a lot of features for the price. Although not designed as a gaming machine, the PC will perform (though you may want to change the graphics card for the more demanding games).
The machine comes with a return to base warranty and this is a good all round solution for most people. If you want to upgrade the warranty...

I was given this laptop a few days ago...with Windows vista. I have had experience with vista so it was not that hard to get used to. However this was vista business so it did not come with the windows games which you are used to. With a dual core 1.9Ghz more
