Advantages: works smootly, no errors, no problems ever Disadvantages: needed to buy more RAM
...Bought this remanufactured CompaqPresario 2120EA from HP Marketplace 3 years ago and never had any problems.
It is quiet and has a comfortable layout - no strain from using the keyboard or mouse pad, which has a very convenient side scroll. The screen is large and of good quality with virtually no reflection of surrounding light - excellent for watching DVDs during a long flight (battery lasts about 2.5-2h), but also good for working with two word documents side-by-side.
I frequently use several applications simultaneously, including streaming video from the internet and graphics/image processing, so I eventually needed to install an extra 512Mb RAM. The graphic card and monitor colours are excellent. The mouse pad is very sensitive and reliable even for sketches and diagrams - never used a mouse again!
In conclusion, excellent...

Advantages: Fast, Fast, FAST!!! (Oh yeah... and easy to set up and use, too.) Disadvantages: Huh?!!? No stereo speakers?!?!
...model was definitely a much better buy. And the computer with the most "bang" – at least on paper, anyway – was the CompaqPresario 5004US. After discussing different models with the salesman for 30 minutes, and weighing my options for nearly another hour, I paid the man $1,149 and eagerly walked out with my new "screamer."
HERE'S WHAT I GOT WITH MY COMPAQPRESARIO 5004US:
Hardware:
* AMD Athlon(TM) Processor running at 1.102 GHz.
* 200 MHz system bus
* Enhanced 3D Now!(TM) video technology
* 16 MB Nvidia TNT2 M64 PRO graphics card
* SoundMax Digital Audio system
* 128 MB RAM, 100 MHz
* 60 GB hard disk drive
* 8X/4X/24X DVD-ROM drive
* 8X/4X/32X CD-RW drive
* 56K V.90 modem
* 10/100Mb PCI network interface card
* 1 parallel port
* PS2 mouse port
* 4 USB ports (2 in front, 2 in back; 1 required for keyboard...

Advantages: great laptop, fast to connect Disadvantages: not very good when trying to use wireless
...I have had my compaq laptop for about a year now, its a great little laptop.
The battery life is really good, charging the laptop does not take long atall and i usually use mine plugged in anyway.
It has a monitor link up also, so you can plug in another monitor, it has 3 usb ports for a mouse to be plugged in etc, speaker plug so you dont annoy the others living in the house, volume control and mute button.
Graphics by ATI Mobility, Intel inside Celeron and designed for Microsoft windows XP.
Easy digital transfer with 5-in-1 memory reader and digital video.
I have watched dvds on my laptop and i can not find any faults, great picture, did not freeze and did not jump.
Although the Compaqpresario is a really great laptop, i found it had a problem adapting with wireless, i purchased the belkin wireless high-speed, it would work...

Hello all,

you the highest quality consumer based reviews. I sometimes ask... more
I bought this PC early this year and bought it as a package deal with monitor/scanner/speakers. I do think it was a tad expensive, however, I have been extremely pleased with its performance.
Due to working in graphics I had always used Apple Mac's... more
