Rather work on a wood desktop than a Compaq DesktopOct 13 '00 Write an essay on this topic.Our family's first internet enhanced computer was the Compaq Presario. Needless to say, we were all thrilled to finally be connected to the Web. Circuit City assured us that we were buying a full-fledged grade 'A' computer ( and for the price we paid, we should have ). Yet, as months went by my family became accedingly dissapointed in the performance of our computer. Only a short time of owning the Compaq Computer passed before we noticed the continual distruptions and complications with it. At first, we blamed the errors on several of my brother's PC games. But, as time passed and more and more programs became faulty, we began to suspect that the quality of the computer's performance was not affected by the downloaded games. The faults were growing quite annoying, especially when the computer froze in the middle of a research paper. We eventually sought for a computer expert to inspect our computer and see if it could fix it to our aids. When the computer guy proceeded to tell us the numerous problems he especially highlighted the most important of them : all of the hard drive had been shifted to one side of the computer! We know that this must have been a mistake of Compaq because the expert was kind enough to inform us that it must have happened in their shipping process. We were devastated; how could that major flaw have gotten past them? So, my first advice is not to buy any Compaq computer, because even those that I have used at school have been uncooperative. My second piece of advice is not to buy a Compaq computer at Circuit City! When we came to them with our complains they wouldn't give us a refund of any kind, even with our reciept. They claimed that they would fix it instead, and since it was the best we could hope for, we agreed that that seemed like the least that they could do. Unfortunately, the computer was no better than it had been before. Even as we took it in to numerous different "computer hospitals", none could fix our ailing computer. This computer was over-priced from the start, so when you tack on additional fixing charges, I can barely begin to estimate how much that computer cost us. We eventually bought another computer, a DELL, which ( knock on wood ) hasn't failed us yet. My overall recommendation - Skip Compaq and Circuit City. These two factors are our leading team to Complete Computer Failure.  |
