Advantages: Fast, sleek looking, DVD player (Win98), good driver support Disadvantages: Unstable, feels delicate not robust
...lot of Armada M700s. Compaq have admitted that faulty batches were sent out but this machine seems to be very unstable. It looks very smart with its black case (has a PIII 650MHz processor and 64MB RAM), blue mouse pointer in the middle of the keyboard and the newer ones coming with a DVD/CD drive (but you must have Win98 to use DVDs). As this is a notebook, the floppy drive and CD drive are interchangeable. If you want to use them both at the same ... ...a nice looking machine but I would look elsewhere until Compaq have sorted out all the issues with the motherboards that have been leading to so many problems. If you do decide to get one of these, make sure you have a good warranty as motherboards don't come cheap. ...

Advantages: inbuilt modem, networking, usb, infrared support, light, fast Disadvantages: no touchpad on this model, down arrow key, typing comfort
...if you travel a lot is that this is a very light machine. Overall I do reccomend it and it has raised my opinion of Compaq quite considerably, It comes with a good support contract (which I hope I won't need) and has so far (3 weeks) been problem free ...

Advantages: nice size, quite rigid, screen is very clear Disadvantages: speed regularly fluctuates between 450Mhz - 700Mhz, system hangs on standby
I purchased this laptop for £150 in july last year and since I purchased it, the processor speed has fluctuated between 450Mhz and 700Mhz. the speed does not drop enough to cause a major problem but it can still be annoying.
the memory is quite a good amount for simple word processing tasks but if you regularly have a lot of applications open then you might notice a significant drop in performance.
the battery life is incredible and many times ... ...who also has a laptop, has had to recharge his laptop twice in the amount of time this laptop can last on one charge.
I only have one major problem with it and that is that the keyboard keys G,H,Right Arrow, Down Arrow and backspace stop working, but this can normally be solved by reseating the keyboard connector.
when I purchased this laptop it had windows XP pre-installed and I used it with windows for a while then I formatted it and put linux ...

This computer his a great notebook, that is powerful and sleek. and the battery is quite good . my experiences with this laptop have been very good, i have flash and sonic foundry acid on there and it works great. not to mention the good hard drive. the only bad things about the laptop is that the system file is fat32. Another bad thing about this great comuter is the small harddrive, and the bad power connection. ... ...another wonderful feature of the compaq armada m700 is its powerful display. clear screen is wonderful. another great thing is the price. its conveniently priced at around 600 dollars which is pretty good for a notebook with all these features.
on a scale of 1-10 i would have to rate it a 9
which beats the sony vaios 7
and the only reason i rated it that low is because the battery lasts like 15 minutes
anyway im getting off the subject so i better ...
