Mobile Workstation, new thinking

Advantages: Good processing speed with some advanced features
Disadvantages: DDR2 RAM with only 667 MHz speed

...we take a look on some other brands, than Dell also have some high end mobile workstations with extremely high configurations. But they are generally meant for higher end business use and configurations and price tags are very high. So as per personal use, HP has some good mobile workstations. This laptop, HP Compaq Mobile Workstation 8510w, is called as mobile workstation but it is generally a kind of high configured notebook PC. The features are really good but it more than like notebook. I want to discuss some good features and performance of this mobile workstation, and how it can be a good friend of your routine business. The Workstation This mobile workstation is completely looks like a notebook and nothing different than any notebook. But the main differences are its features and performance. Notebook has 15.4" TFT display...

Compaq Presario CQ60-212EM: Compaq Presario CQ60

Advantages: Excellent Value for Money; Will suit most users' needs
Disadvantages: Battery Life is Poor ; Heavy

...The Compaq Presario CQ60 has proved to be very good value for money. I paid £380 in January '09 and it has worked perfectly since. The wireless has a good range and the screen quality is outstanding. Everything else works how it should and the only real negative is a not-so-great battery life (approx 2 hrs on power saver). All in all, good for games (mine has a separate graphics card - not sure if standard?), word processing, internet and general use. One thing I particularly like is the larger screen size that results from having an integrated number pad on the keyboard. However the larger size does result in a heavy laptop. As of yet I have had no technical issues what so ever with this laptop and I would most definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a laptop on a budget! Hope this was of some help! Summary: Overall very good...

Review of Compaq Presario CQ60

A great workstation

Advantages: Great Build Quality
Disadvantages: none

...Pretty good machine - we use it for graphics work and it handles everything well. Plenty of expansion space for additional drives. quality build with excellent case. Hard to fault it really. we added a high end graphic card ( at £350) and it became a dream machine. Renders video and Adobe Dreanweaver, Photoshop and Illustrator with ease. My colleague swears by it and not at it. Wish I could say the same about my Dell laptop. There are some other good workstations out there but I would stick with HP. The workstation quality that was so apparent with the Compaq brand has not disappeared with the HP takeover. This machine will run and run - expect no less that 3 years usable life from this. When it eventually does give out don't throw away the case. It's almost worth the purchase price itself:o)...

...HP Workstation Xw8400 ****************** What is workstation? We have seen many computers, like notebooks and desktops PCs but the word 'workstation' is slightly new for many peoples. Workstation is known as high configured desktop PC will fully featured and heavy combination of hardware's. Hp has measure shares in desktop PCs followed by IBM, Acer, fujitsu and Lenovo.

Review of HP Workstation Xw8400

its not a laptop, its a machine!

Advantages: very fast, yet very sleek
Disadvantages: price tag

...still be up to date for quite a while to come. Its storage is also a very fair 200gb. This doesn't need to much talking about but in terms of memory this really is a lot and unless you were storing millions of music tracks and videos on there then you don't really need to worry too much about filling this. This is called the mobile workstation for two reasons. The first is that it runs so fast that it can be compared to the non mobile workstations. The second is that it's a little bit bigger than most laptops. It has a 17 inch screen, great for doing work, playing games on and just anything else you might want to do with it. It also has active matrix technology. This is something being used by more and more laptop manufacturers to date, and its amazing results. Its makes the screen lighter, meaning the laptops lighter, its makes...

HP COMPAQ.

Advantages: PERFORMS WELL
Disadvantages: COSTLY.

...The hp Compaq stunned my mind when I heard its ability to deliver proven technology. I have some influence on deciding on which type of computer hardware or software to purchase in office. The PC device comes with dual core technology type and the dual core simply means that the PC is capable of having more than one processor and it has advantages over those PCs that have only one processor because it is quite faster and can process numerous in formations at a given time. I am considering very much on buying this since I have gotten the guarantee through the one I use for my office work. HP has proven their competence on making computer hard wares including printers that I regard one of the best in the market currently. Well getting this in my household would cost me quite some money because this is an office use. Since I am now...

Review of HP Compaq Business Desktop Dc5800

Compaq in a Nutshell

Advantages: Excellent design, easy to reinstall
Disadvantages: cost

...Probably not everyone’s first choice when purchasing a new computer, but as you will see if you read on Compaq computers are surprisingly good. The only draw back I feel is that they are a tad on the expensive side. ** My Experience ** Over the last year the company that I work at has gradually started to buy Compaq computers. At first I wasn't sure about them as for as long as I have worked there they have always bought Dell computers and I was quite happy with these. When we go the first Compaq I thought they looked a bit strange as I was used to the look of Dell computers. My first impression was that they looked quite fidley to service and were a lot heavier than the Dell computers, which we had. But over the year that we have had them I have found them to be very easy to work with. The design of the cases has improved...

  Compaq Presario 700: First Time Buyer?

Advantages: Decent for a first time user
Disadvantages: Potential crashes, over heating

...-^- Introduction -^- As a member of Ciao I?ve been looking to do reviews on objects I?ve had for a while. To try and really give an in depth review over things. Although I know the Compaq Presario 700 may not be on sale anymore this could be a review for people wanting to get it second hand from someone or buying on website etc. -^- Background Information -^- I bought my laptop in September 2002. I?ve always wanted a laptop just for the actual feeling of owning one. However I went halfs on it with my parents as it was a necessary for me to have seeing as I was also starting university. In total the price was £900. Pricey it seemed but I wasn?t going over £1000. The actual one I wanted was sold out and I really didn?t want to leave without one so I took the Compaq Presario 700. In total I?ve had it for just over two years now...

Compaq Presario 6097EA

Advantages: After Sales Product Support
Disadvantages: Unwanted Pre-Installed Software

...Fast, reliable, good looks, stable ... to mention a few, but enough about me, I`m here to talk about the Compaq Presario 6097EA. Ah, who am I kidding, course I mean the PC. I have had it for about 6 months now and is an upgrade from a Compaq Presario 2292 which I had for about 4 years. Yes, that`s the downside, 4 years ago I had a state-of-the-art machine and nowadays it just doesn`t cut the mustard. Here`s a list of what you are going to get for your money: *Intel Pentium 4 2.2ghz processor Should suffice for even the most intensive applications! This can be upgraded in the future as it is removable. It also comes with a good fan mounted directly on top of it to keep it nice and cool. *256mb PC2100 DDR RAM DDR ram is the new standard for RAM these days. As I am writing this from the top of my head and do not wish to inundate...

Review of Compaq Presario 7477

Compaq excellence

Advantages: Fast, effective and looks great
Disadvantages: Only lasts 2 hours without charge

...I recently decided to get rid of my desktop computer due to it being out of date and incredibly slow and virus ridden. I decided i'd go for a laptop instead this time as it takes up less space and is mobile. Having never had a laptop before i was cautious as to what laptop to buy. I'd never looked into it before so wasn't sure on the market. I initially thought i would buy a Sony or a laptop from Dell. I scoured the market in various different shops and came out buying this Compaq Presario. To do this day i've had no problems with it what so ever and the performance is top class, far better than my old desktop. It has a large 120GB hard drive which is more than enough for my needs. 1 GB of RAM which is divided into two 512MB ones. The screen is a 15.4" widescreen. On first start up of the laptop i had to follow a couple easy...
