Does the job - pity about the noise
Review of Compaq Presario 7477 - K6-2 by
Big_JD
Advantages: good looking, powerful, does the job
Disadvantages: hideous fan noise, poor build quality
...and go find a better laptop (such as a Dell or Sony).
Please note that although I am always willing to accept that my laptop is experiencing "rare" and "isolated" issues, I now know that the fan noise is a common Compaq problem.
I hope this review helps!! ...

Scaleo 600 P4 2.53
Review of Fujitsu Siemens SCALEO 600 - Athlon XP 2800+ 2.08 GHz by
techman1862
Advantages: Brilliant easy to use and you do get the windows xp disk
Disadvantages: none really
This Fujitsu computer was not that well know to us when we went looking for 2 computers. We had at the time tried to price up the components for a build and when we added the cost of Windows Xp x 2 it was a lot more, £300 more at the time, so we had to buy.
The budget at the time was £1000 for 2 good computers with monitors,speakers,keybboard and mouse. Warranty would just be the normal 1 year unless we could get that included too.
We had a look ... ...us about these Brand new Fujitsu Scaleo 600 systems theat had to go because of a shop re-fit. They were at rock bottom prices and within our budget.
We purchased 2 FS P4 computers with 80 GB drives 2.53 CPU's and ATI graphic cards for £998 all in but without any other warranty.
That was in 2003. I am now using this same FS P4 computer to write this reveiw.
The scaleo in that time has been brilliant and proved 100% reliable. The back-up disks you ...

watty52
Advantages: Ease of use and ease of initial setup
Disadvantages: could maybe be better with a real pentium in it - but I don't really know without changing it
...the purchase - Comet or IBM - I did have to have my printer replaced a Xerox xj6 with a cannon BJC2100 but that could be another op somewhere else sometime. The machine I bought has a Pentium 3 lookalike installed as standard and is fast enough for everthing I do which is mainly word processing and internet use with some paint and draw applications mainly design of proformas for work use. ...

I told them It was under warranty and I agree with the equipment it is okay, but the service should not be so high, but they straight away refused to reduce the cost of services.

Presario 5221 ROCKS!!!!!!!!
Review of Compaq Presario 5221 - K6-2 380 MHz by
spoonyspice
Advantages: good to look and has got the latest features
Disadvantages: no disadvantages as such
COMPAQ by its name alone. This recent launch of the compaq company is gathered with the most recent features. Its good looking and the main plus of compaq PC's are that its got the facility of attaching the speakers to the monitors side, giving it a very nice look again. As being the user of a compaq PC and being used compaq laptops, i would sugest anyone to go for the same. It has got all recent features and is very easy to install it yourself. ...
