I recently purchased this laptop second hand from eBay was a good buy but as it didn’t come with a cd drive or a floppy drive I purchased the mobile expansion unit with a FDD and cdrw/dvdrom. The model of this laptop I purchased was the 850mhz model with 256mb of ram and a 40GB HDD without the optional wireless support. This laptop is ideally suited to a on-the-go person due to its slim and light design and if the mobile expansion unit is purchased it can then be used by power users both in the office and on the move and even with the expansion unit attached it is still fairly light weight and as the expansion unit has empty ports you can put in whatever things take your fancy, an extra battery is one I'm thinking of, however the laptop its self can support 2 batteries at once without the expansion unit according to Compaq how ever I haven’t tested this yet(just trying to give extra information). Due to the fact that I purchased a second-hand laptop I cannot comment on battery life as I don’t know how old the laptop is but at the moment I get roughly an hour with the battery it came with and new replacement batteries start at around £50 so not too bad. Does what its told with no fuss going to get my fiancé one to replace her home pc they are that reliable
Summary: Excellent laptop will run just about any program you throw at it, slim and portable.
For extended fun you might think about getting the mobile expansion unit even if you leave it at home and use it to dock into when you get home.
