Recently purchased laptop

Advantages: slim line light weight design
Disadvantages: no internal drives

...I recently purchased this laptop second hand from eBay was a good buy but as it didn?t come with a cd drive or a floppy drive I purchased the mobile expansion unit with a FDD and cdrw/dvdrom. The model of this laptop I purchased was the 850mhz model with 256mb of ram and a 40GB HDD without the optional wireless support. This laptop is ideally suited to a on-the-go person due to its slim and light design and if the mobile expansion unit is purchased it can then be used by power users both in the office and on the move and even with the expansion unit attached it is still fairly light weight and as the expansion unit has empty ports you can put in whatever things take your fancy, an extra battery is one I'm thinking of, however the laptop its self can support 2 batteries at once without the expansion unit according to Compaq how ever I...

Review of Compaq Evo Notebook N400c

HP Compaq Evo n600c

Advantages: CHEAP, well styled, good for travelling
Disadvantages: bit old, without maintanance can become slow.

...I am writing this review to inform the good people that good things in life can come cheap, my n600c is the best purchase of my life so far. As i got this laptop for about 80 pounds i decided to upgrade it with some more RAM at the moment im running an Intel Pentium III m and Microsoft XP with 767mb RAM. the total cost of this laptop with upgrades was 110 pounds, considering this has nearly 1GB of RAM it is perfect for browsing the web and is very well at doing basic functions, Browsing the web is very fast and with the right browser and settings multi tasking is very good considering it has a singular core. The speed for the specs overall is good, the sound and video card are not spectacular but obviously can still play music and video at a basic level (youtube, itunes etc) it is great for going anywhere, its relatively small...

Review of Compaq Evo Notebook N600c

Compaq Evo N600c little soldier!

Advantages: Durable, loads of fixes on the hp site, quite nifty for its age
Disadvantages: just getting on a bit

...Hi and welcome to my review of the Compaq Evo N600c. Please look for my video review which should be up in the next few days or so. This item isnt available new, but is well worth a purchase second hand. As with all my reviews, items are used in the most demanding places around the world, they dont always survive, but this little baby has done me proud. Without any replacement parts (Not even a battery!) it has survived in several continents and in extreme temperatures and conditions (see below) The Compaq N600c is a hard wearing reliable laptop that can easily kick the rear end out of even the newest of models. Its construction is fantastic, meaning that even when dropped, it usually survives! All bits and bobs can be pulled out and replaced with ease, i.e. the DVD can be removed, and replaced with a floppy, the Hard...

Review of Compaq Evo Notebook N600c

Compaq Evo N800 lasts and lasts and lasts

Advantages: Reliable, Durable, Great display, Portable desktop
Disadvantages: None

...Nearly 4 years ago I bought myself my first well known laptop after 3 lots of non branded ones. There is a world of difference and with careful selection I ended up with the Compaq Evo N800. What a break that turned out to be. First things first - the screen is superb with top laptop resolution rather than the crappy max of 1280xnothing offered by most other models out there even today. 1400 x 1050 gives too small a font some might say. Load of rubbish. This screen has the best viewability I've ever witnessed by which I mean that it's easily readable from any angle in front of the screen. No, it's not widescreen but don't let that put you off. Battery time is a solid 2-3 hours depending on activity and even after 4 years of the same battery it's still the same. Layout of ports etc is pretty standard and the only thing...

Review of Compaq Evo Notebook N800v

HP Compaq Business Notebook 6530b

Advantages: its fast, stylish and very portable
Disadvantages: could be smaller for portability

...This is another notebook from the HP Compaq range that isn’t quite as small as their other ones. Yet still has enough portability for it to be called a notebook. Its basically a mini laptop that runs on windows vista so it lets you do anything you would normally do, in places you wouldn’t normally be able to do them with a full sized PC or laptop. One of the greatest things about this notebook is that the keyboard is actually full sized. If you’ve ever been on an Eee PC for a while you’ll know that it can get a bit frustrating after a while of typing. However with this particular model the keypad is spread out right across the length of the notebook meaning they have actually been able to make a full sized keypad out of it. This basically means you’ll be able to type just as well as you would on any...

Big laptop Small money

Advantages: small money for perfect performance
Disadvantages: none

...I have used Dell Inspiron 1545 for a couple of months. I'm glad I made right decision. My friend who works in computer filed suggested me this one after asking me my demand for a laptop. First , I would like to say , it can totally meet all requirements I expected from a good laptop. I use it to write articles especially for my blog, to send and receive emails, to talk on MSN and Skype with my family and friends abroad. It never let me down. I also used it to watch TV including the programs on BBC Iplayer. Compared to my desk computer, I can feel the speed on my laptop was faster and the stability of the network was better. Second, it has nice overall design. Slim, Simple and sleek. You have three colors to choose . I chose the black one that matches from outside to inside. The keyboard has all the necessary controls that I used...

Review of Dell Inspiron 1545 Laptop

Dell Inspiron 1545 - good entry level laptop

Advantages: Cheap, good brand, lots of features,
Disadvantages: Probably not powerful enough for games, bottom of the market now

...The Dell Inspiron 1545 is an easy to use entry level laptop. Unlike two years ago when I bought my previous laptop, you can now get a number of Dell computers (of which this is one) direct from high street retailers. This is good if you want it in a rush and want a nearby place to handle any issues, but has the disadvantage that you can't customise your laptop to your own requirements to the same extent that you can if you buy it direct from Dell (which takes several weeks). Because Dell are so good at allowing customisation, you need to be very careful when you buy that you actually get the one you need - they are not all the same, so you can't just go into a shop and say "Give me your Inspiron 1545" - you need to be sure that it e.g. has a suitable processor, enough memory and a big enough hard drive for your needs. At the time...

Review of Dell Inspiron 1545 Laptop

HP Compaq Business Notebook Nx6125

Advantages: small, light, inexpensive, fingerprint sensor
Disadvantages: 512mb RAM with 128 of that devoted to graphics card, no infrared

...Laptops are a pretty boring subject to write a review about. We all know what they do, so what makes this one special. Well first let me quickly run through the specs so that you know what we're dealing with here. It weighs in at just under 3kg which is not bad at all for a laptop/notebook. Mind you HP call it a notebook which I would disagree with. There are Sony VIAO's out there that are real notebooks. This baby however is bigger than what I could consider to be a notebook so I'm going to refer to it as a laptop. I do a fair amount of travel on business and this machine is just about right for long distance travel to far away countries. The last thing you want is to lug around a fat heavy laptop along with your luggage at airports. It comes with a standard 15 TFT screen capable of supporting a max 1600x1200 resolution...

Review of Compaq Evo D510

So small easy 2 use

Advantages: Small, nice to use, adequate for most office use
Disadvantages: Fan spins up now and then, faster cpu wouldnt hurt

...is small. It is very quiet, near silent until the fan spins up every 20 minutes to regulate cooling on mine. upgrade path is limited to more hard drive space and more RAM. the 256mb models would have one slot left for another RAM stick. This thing can be upgraded to 1 gb of RAM which is really nice for an old laptop. The cpu is more than adequete for what i use the laptop for. Office use and internet is a pleasure on the compaq evo because of its lightweight mobility. I just love it when people ask me, is that a new vaio in your hands when its closed, i tell them no its a compaq evo i bought for £150 and everyones amazed at the size of the thing for its age. And it isnt comprosed on performance as its specs match bigger models from other brands of its time. like i said, its just fine with Office work and internet. The screen is...
