HP Compaq Presario M2000 Laptop

Advantages: Good battery life and features
Disadvantages: Had several problems, looks bulky and unstylish

...side houses the laptop's PC Card slot, the network and modem jacks, the VGA connection, and an expansion port for an optional notebook expansion base. When you look at this laptop it seems quite bulky, but is actually much lighter than it looks. The Compaq Presario M2000 is big and square--1.8 inches tall, 13.2 inches wide, and 11 inches deep--but it's very portable at 6.4 pounds. The power adapter adds less than a pound more. The laptop is comfortable to use. The keyboard has a firm feel, though its keys don't depress very far. The all-black lettering on the light-gray keys doesn't jump out, but it's readable. The keyboard's excellent layout places the <Delete> and <Ctrl> keys in opposite corners where our fingers could fly right to them. The touchpad is more rectangular than most, with stamped vertical and horizontal lines that show...

Presario 2100

Advantages: Modest price if you shop carefully
Disadvantages: A little heavy

...'s available, even within the same model number, so you do need to ensure that you get exactly what you want in terms of processor type and speed, etc. A useful website to look at is www.compaq.co.uk which will help you through the options that are available. There's also a link available from your Presario laptop at http://h18027.www1.hp.com/athome/international/uk/mypresario/ which is also a useful site, but perhaps more so when you have bought a Presario....

Compaq Presario V4000 - not a beauty contest winner

Advantages: Good value for money (decent specs at a strong price) and good after-sales support
Disadvantages: Bad-looking, unreliable at times

...I guess it is safe to say the design will never win any awards. It looks chunky and the color combination (all silver inside and matt black on the outside) doesn't look very appealing. The buttons on the touch-pad feel rubbery and offer a good touch, but it attracts dirt, is nearly impossible to clean. Ditto for the silver finish too...starts to rub off after a few months and ends looking ancient. The specs are decent and well worth the price - but my personal experience with all hp/compaq products (I've had 3 hp/compaq laptops to date) is that they all have a problem with the motherboard. Not sure if this is a generic problem with all hp/compaq products...or maybe I'm just plain unlucky. Of course, their after-sales support is quite good, but it doesn't feel nice taking a barely-three-months-old laptop for repair. Better to spend...

  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...

The Ultimate Desktop Replacement- Presario 2500

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 laptops provided by Compaq, but the prices are exceedingly high. If you have an intermediate budget, and you were aiming for a laptop with a strong 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...

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...

THE HP PRINTER

Advantages: FAST IN PRINTING AND OF GOOD QUALITY.
Disadvantages: LARGE AND HEAVY.

...This is the type of printer that I will recommend for office use because of its quality and the rate of printing. This is a laser printer and the most of all is that it also prints colour. It has a marvelous colour production that makes the printed issue too original and bright. The HP printer product has been to me the leader in making good printers because I have used some of other printers and find the HP printer the most advanced both in technology, durability and innovations. Well I got In contact with this printer in my office and it has been serving very well in my office hold. So in the over all ratings, I will recommend this for office not only that but for professional use also. The HP printer not only is good on producing good and quality print, it also has sufficient features. It provides high impact printing...

Review of HP Color LaserJet CP1515n

My good old Compaq Presario 2200

Advantages: Durability
Disadvantages: None

...I am the proud owner of a Presario 2200. I purchased it six years ago for a price of PDS600.00. Mine is totally black in colour including the monitor and keyboard and equipped with a Cyrix 166 Processor, 16 MB RAM and 1.2 GB Hard Drive. About a year ago I increased the RAM to 32 MB and the Hard Drive to 2 GB. Many a time I thought of changing this machine for a new one with more specicifications and higher performance levels. However one of my friends is a computer technician and he advised me then that these older models are by far better than the ones out today. Not in specs but in durability. They don't make them now like they used to make them. All makers including Compaq are trying to cut corners with the stiff competition nowadays. Parts are being made more and more in China, Malaysia and other third world countries...

The HP 300's bigger, stronger brother

Advantages: prints lots
Disadvantages: none

...This range of print cartridges from HP is the bigger and better version of the HP300. Those of you who remember my stunning, wrongly uncrowned review of the HP300 will remember how it ran out after just 140 pages. Well, this time I splashed out on the upgrade. Basically, these cost £30 each, although I picked them up on ebay for around £19 brand new and sealed. They are print cartridges that do a lot more than the HP300. The black and white cartridge will give 600 pages of print (4 times what I got out of its baby brother at just twice the price). The colour one gives 440 pages. The cartridges are tidy and easy to install ? they just click into place. There?s no ink around and you won?t get ink everywhere which is ideal. The quality of the ink is stunning ? rich and dark, intense and thick, it looks brilliant. It never...
