 unbeatable price. | |
| got it from circuit city for the price advertised at bestbuy. almost four hundred bucks saving from the list price. do your math. I can't say the price here. originally aim for presario 1520us. it has faster processor, more RAM, bigger hard disk, and firewire port. but realistically, how many applications would be noticeble from it? (I think once computer reachs over giga hertz, work efficiency bottle neck lies along with the person rather computer delaying the task) unless you are required to do video editing or 3d animation rendering on the road, this laptop is perfect for all other use. Old presario I used at work, 2 years ago, didn't impressed me a bit. as it was bombard with 'illegal operation errors' Looks like compaq finally got this one done right. every function is integrated perfectly without errors. Love the fact that they chose ATI graphic engine. also, JBL sounds the best among all laptops. all quick buttons on top of keyboard works like charm. DVD plays flawlessly (thoughfully included industry's best WinDVD software). bought 906us and compaq PDA 3835 for the price of 1520us. I think it was a wise decision. | |
| Not too bad for the price | |
| Bought this lappie a week ago. DVDs play fine and display is decent. What I did not like is that it has only 1 PS/2 Port which means that either you can connect a mouse or a keyboard but not both simultaneously. Futhermore I noticed that when I connect a mouse the system freezes occasionally for a second completely (the sound as well as display). If you research well you will get this one for *well* below $... with mail in rebates and other discounts.Overall a decent machine for the price. Pros: Cons: | |
| Just wanted a laptop | |
| I purchased this laptop just a few weeks ago. I'm not very computer literate. I have an old desktop but after moving to a new house I wanted something simple I could work with without the cords and cords and cords. I love to go online for recipes and travel information, etc. I love sending e-mails.I occasionally may use word processing. My whole point is, I didn't want the most hi-tech thing on the market because I couldn't afford it but I didn't want to ever go to a site and it say I didn't have enough "something". This laptop has been great. I can sit on my bed with it in my lap, unplug my phome, plug in the line and off I go. No heavy mess for the children to get tangled in or touching with dirty little hands. I hope this helps if you are looking for a fun, easy, adequate laptop. |
