I want something better
Review of Compaq Presario 700 - Duron 900 MHz - 14.1" TFT by

Advantages: Stylish looks
Disadvantages: lack of power
I bought this laptop from PC world a couple of years ago as an ex-display model. On the face of things it appeared to be a good little laptop. The machine should have come with a cd writer dvd combo however after getting it home I discovered only a DVD drive installed. The machine comes pre-installed with windows XP home edition which is by its very nature a memory hog this takes an awful amount of memory away from the megre 128mb well 114mb after ...

Flawed but acceptable entry level laptop
Review of Compaq Presario 700 - Duron 900 MHz - 14.1" TFT by

Advantages: Cheap, good range of options and plugs
Disadvantages: Freezes/hangs often, limited memory upgrade space

Quick review of Compaq Presario 700 - Duron 900 MHz - 14.1\
Review of Compaq Presario 700 - Duron 900 MHz - 14.1" TFT by
Angietrad
I've had a one of this for 6 years. I had some problems with it. The first one was the hard disk which broke down in March 2005 an had to be replaced by a new one (this time a 40 giga disk). And about six months ago, the hinges didn't work anymore and they have to be replaced or repaired, which cost a lot. Besides, the battery has been flat for the last 3 years more or less and I have to use it plugged in.
