As a member of Ciao I?ve been looking to do reviews on objects I?ve had for a while. To try and really give an in depth review over things. Although I know the Compaq Presario 700 may not be on sale anymore this could be a review for people wanting to get it second hand from someone or buying on website etc.
-^- Background Information -^-
I bought my laptop in September 2002. I?ve always wanted a laptop just for the actual feeling of owning one. However I went halfs on it with my parents as it was a necessary for me to have seeing as I was also starting university. In total the price was £900. Pricey it seemed but I wasn?t going over £1000. The actual one I wanted was sold out and I really didn?t want to leave without one so I took the Compaq Presario 700. In total I?ve had it for just over two years now...

Advantages: Excellent Value for Money; Will suit most users' needs Disadvantages: Battery Life is Poor ; Heavy
...The Compaq Presario CQ60 has proved to be very good value for money. I paid £380 in January '09 and it has worked perfectly since. The wireless has a good range and the screen quality is outstanding.
Everything else works how it should and the only real negative is a not-so-great battery life (approx 2 hrs on power saver).
All in all, good for games (mine has a separate graphics card - not sure if standard?), word processing, internet and general use.
One thing I particularly like is the larger screen size that results from having an integrated number pad on the keyboard. However the larger size does result in a heavy laptop.
As of yet I have had no technical issues what so ever with this laptop and I would most definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a laptop on a budget! Hope this was of some help!
Summary: Overall very good...

Advantages: Cheap Starter PC Disadvantages: Poor build quality
...The Compaq Presario 700 series is one of their biggest selling "home" laptops, how do I know this I here you ask, well I worked for Compaq on their Presario Technical Support line.
The 700's are a good laptop, if your new to the PC scene, but don't expect great things from them. They have an average spec for the price, but the build quality is not the best in the world.
The software bundled with the 700's is fine for the majority of users (XP Home, MS Word, MS Works) amongst others. Although I would recommend ditching Works and getting a full version of Office as it offers much more flexibility.
As I said earlier the spec is average, and fine for most beginners, however the quality of the components leaves a lot to be desired. The battery is prone to not holding any charge (which is covered under the first years warranty...
