Advantages: Fast proccessor, quick and efficient, designed for windows xp, shock proof, takes little room, highest technology, good gaming laptop. Disadvantages: HEAVY! (3.5 kg), consumes too much battery power,
The Compaq Presario 2500 laptop- the ultimate desktop replacement. You cannot find a laptop better than this one at such a low price- considering the power of such a device. If you were looking for a laptop that could take the place of a family desktop, then feast your eyes on THIS hunk of power!
The Presario 2500 is an exceptionally good laptop. It has been designed for speed using the latest technology available....in 2002. There ARE much better ... ...and fast proccessor, then the Compaq Presario 2500 is the one for you. Unless you are a 3D game developer, you will not need a better laptop.
The amount of space available on the laptop is not that much, but unless you are going to store 40 movies in the laptop (like me), you wont need more. Even if you think you have too much programs, 40 GBs of space will be enough for the most space consuming software. I own the Presario 2500, and even though ...

Advantages: Versatility, speed, ease of use Disadvantages: CAPITAL LETTERS, plastic lid catches
...TECHNICAL STUFF
The Compaq Presario 2500 is fitted with a 2.52GHz Intel Pentium 4 processor which gives excellent accessibility and speed. It can be temperamental, with start up times ranging from the sublimely fast to the somewhat lethargic.
Once started though, the processor allows fluid and rapid movement between programs with great multitasking.
At 30Gb the hard drive could be bigger. I curently use only 2.5Gb for all the programs I need, ... ...lot more, and so want more. However, with the 27Gb left at my dsiposal I can't foresee a hard drive capacity shortage in the near future.
This machine is fitted with 384Mb of RAM, although 64Mb are shared with the ATI Radeon Graphics package. As far as I know, this combination is big enough to play just about every game currently on the market, and for people who just want a home office with the ability to web surf, there shouldn't be a problem.

Advantages: Very powerful and Cheap Disadvantages: Bad battery longevity and NOISY
I bought this laptop about 2 years ago now so it is pretty outdated by the speed at which the industry is moving. I got is cheap in a PC world January sale for £299 and as far as I am concerned it has done everything that I have asked it to within reason. I originally bought it for school work and in that respect it has had no problems, I also like to play games and only now are games coming into the market which it can't play mainly because it only ... ...to 512MB which should be enough for use in almost anything you would need to do on a laptop. Its bigger + is its speed which with a Pentium 4 Processor at 2.66GHz this is very fast and powerful. A lot of laptops you buy today bearing in mind that this is 2-3 years old don't even have 2GHz so it is still in the top of its game in power. It comes with 40Gb of hard disk space which is enough to store all the software you would require and only starts ...

Advantages: Good functional desktop replacement Disadvantages: Fans frequently shorten battery life
In 2+ years of use I have found my 2500 to be a very good desktop substitute. BUT once the fans kick in (fairly often) the battery life greatly shortens to less than 50-60 minutes. This unit kicks out a lot of heat so the three fans operate almost constantly in my experience.The fans are also noisy -- I have had a librarian once come to me with request to quiet my computer! On the plus side :-) one can warm one's hands in a super airconditioned, ...

Advantages: Reliable, easy to use,small and light weight. Disadvantages: battery runs down fast after a while
I brought the compaq presario 2500 one year ago. I found the compaq presario 2500 to be a great computer. I have used it every day for a few hours, and today it is as good as new. It is easy to use, and it is fast. It is also very easy to install new software onto. It also looks good and is designed well. The compaq presario 2500 is very light and it is easy to transport from place to place. With all my travelling in the pass year the computer has ... ...good as it was a year ago, I used to get 3 hours battery life with heavy use, now I am luck to get one hour of battery life.
The notebook came with the normal stuff, the standard power pack, battery, the recovery Cds, software Cds, and a modem connection cord.
And the manual, of course that I did not even look at. It has DVD/CD-RW hardware. For a notebook the sound is not too bad, I was happily surprised at this, as many notebooks I have seen, ...

...while installing windows 2000. The Compaq did not give you a driver support for this version of windows.
Otherwise when you satisfied with the XP version, you already have all the mobile need for your office works.
While the other vendor didn't give you no more PS2 connection, compaq were smart enough to give you it. But for me it still bother me that I can't make my notebook work on windows ME environment which my accounting program are running.
