I have been using this laptop for the past 2 and half years and it is quite good serving my purpose. I use my laptop for my leisure time at home. I use it for downloading stuff from the internet and it is quite fast. I have a wireless card attached it to connect to the wireless network in my house. The speed is quite good.

I use it basically for making Office presentations and writing word documents. I also use it for browsing and surfing. I am not a heavy user of this laptop. I use it only during the evenings and during the weekends. I store my digital photos in this. Absence of firewire is a great problem with this laptop. It also does not have any portable external drives. So I cannot write my cds or dvds. I get my leisure work done on this laptop and also I hear to music and it has good high quality audio by downloading songs from the internet.

It has a stylish looking square black case, with 2 inch wide silver module on the lid where the Compaq's Multiport, wireless connection option for 802.11b, bluetooth and others are present.
It has support for bluetooth so that I can transfer data from my mobile phone to my laptop and also from other laptops. It is quite fast and light for its size.

This is a wireless ready model. It has the input devices as keyboard, which is a black one with white letterings on it, touch pad and pointing device. The pointing device use is quite troublesome. I seldom use it. I prefer to use an USB mouse or sometimes the touchpad.
It has four shortcut buttons which are programmable. It is a bit over priced in comparison to similar configuration laptops of other brands.

OS is Microsoft Windows XP professional

It has two USB Ports and an RJ-45 port are located on the left side of the laptop.

My opinion is that this model is quite old and you can look forward to more advanced models out in the market.
