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

You Got To Have It

Advantages: Good Battery Life, Energy Saving
Disadvantages: Weight and design of the laptop

...This is one of the best laptop that I have ever own. When I scout for a laptops, I was searching only looking out for Fujitsu. I have read a number of good reviews. However, after shopping for about two weeks, I am fed up with Fujitsu laptops. In the midst of my search, I came across Evo N800v. I was not interested as the design was not nice and I feel that it is relatively heavy. After comparing the price and configuration of IBM and Fujitsu laptops, I decided that to buy Evo N800v. I never regret buying it. In fact, I fall in love with the laptop and use it almost every hour every day. Evo N800v has good battery life. The battery could last about 3.5 hours which I was really really surprised. It does not take long to charge. The weight saver is great. It cuts down the weight of the laptop when I carry it...

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...

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...

Evo review

Advantages: Great writing and photograph, let's you dream!
Disadvantages: None!

...Top Gear, currently the UKs most popular car magazine, is for people who know about cars and want to appear knowledgable. Evo is the magazine that the true petrolheads read. It combines mouthwatering photography with excellent writing that really give you a feel for what the car is like to drive. Of particular note, Evo give very few review of 'normal' cars, instead they focus almost solely on supercars. This is great, as, let's face, we don't really want to read about the new Toyota Aygo - we really want to read about the Ferrari F430 Scuderia. One of my favourite sections is called the 'long termers'. With this section, Evo is given a car by a manufacturer (or, with some of the more exotic metal, contributors write the article about their own cars) for a period of 6 months to a year. It lets one know what the car is like to own...

Review of Evo

Compaq Evo D510

Advantages: Small Form Factor but still space inside
Disadvantages: Cabling can be tight

...We have 800 of these and so far they have been great. Reliability wise we have only had a few problems over the last 2 years where a couple of power supplies have popped. Do not be scared of the small form factor - these boxes can still hold extra stuff. We had quite tight requirements for the boxes we needed. Basically, we wanted to add an IDE Raid card, an extra hard disk, and 1GB or RAM. All of this was possible inside this tiny box. The floppy can be removed as not many people use them these days, and in its place you can install another hard disk. The case does have the opening for the floppy on the front, but it doesn't look bad. As I mentioned in the title, the box can be tight for cabling, but you'd expect that for the size. The only annoyance with the box is the mechanism for lifting the drives. Removing the case...

Review of Compaq Evo D510

Compaq D510 - solid corporate PC

Advantages: Flexible, Robust, Easy to service
Disadvantages: No USB ports on front

...As with many Compaq models you have the option of setting up your PC as a tower or dektop, and this Evo is one. In addition, you are also able to change the position of the CD/DVD & Floppy drives as required. So whether the case is standing on edge or lying on its side, the CD-ROM and DVD drives have their typical horizontal placement. HP also includes an extensive array of sophisticated manageability tools for system administrators, the Intelligent Manageability software suite encompasses tools for such remote management activities as system diagnostics via a Web browser, system wake-up, and the ability to disable USB and serial ports and to lock down the BIOS to secure boot-up sequences. The keyboard has programmable hot-keys for accessing the Internet. The base configuration of the D510 has integrated graphics. And for businesses...

Review of Compaq Evo D510

A high octane feast of EVOness

Advantages: Good quality writing and amazing photography
Disadvantages: Once a month is not enough

...I was very suprised to find that there were only a few other Opinions on EVO and so felt compelled to write one of my own. I have been a car fanatic for as long as I can remember and have tried reading most of the other motoring magazines at one time or another. Top Gear, Auto Express, Performance Car I have even went through a phase of reading Max Power! These were all entertaining enough, but there always seemed to be something missing. This is where EVO comes in. I first read EVO a couple of years ago, and was completely blown away. I took out a years subscription the very next month, and as soon as this ran out I renewed it. I usually find that after 12 issues of a magazine I fancy a change from it, but I can't ever see myself getting tired of EVO and have been a subscriber ever since my first issue. So what exactly is EVO I...
