Advantages: Colour, Good for the basics Disadvantages: Bit Old, bit Bulky, Not Compatible with todays technology
...I found out the CF drive could only accept cards upto 64mb.
After getting a 64mb CF card i tryed to send over a nice selection of MP3s. This is the first time I used the cradle for anything other than transferring a contact. The serial cradle transfers data at about 1-2KB/s. For those of you that aren't computer geeks Ill translate that into an understandable figure. One MP3 is on average 4MB, thats 4000KB, so one song takes atleast 2000 seconds to transfer, which is about half an hour. Its not very useful when you wish to put a few tunes on it before catching a bus. Also a 64mb CF can only hold about an hours worth of music, or 16ish tracks.
The Compaq Aero was just one disappointment after another. After 8 hours of transferring MP3s, i was finally able to get my bus and listen to my music. When i got out my headphones...

Advantages: Speedy, solid, reliable, HP Disadvantages: A budget laptop
...Well the Acer packed in and with the warranty the store gave us credit (apparently the Acer that we had had become obselete and there was none in stock). So with the £400 or so store credit my mother wisely (and under her own guidance as far as I know) picked the HP Pavilion DV6000 (as far as I'm aware theirs no difference between this and the T model though if there is, I'm sorry). Quite why My mother (darling mother of mine) decided to ever get the pile of fecial matter that Acer claimed was a laptop I was never quite to sure, as everything in it came to peices, the keys flew off, the screen was...well dead, the AV charge wire was..erm..well dead too. Why couldn't she have gone after a real solid, well worked peice of kit like this first time round Im not sure.
So HP's...what do I think of them?
Well I'd basically take a bricky out...
