Compaq Presario: a tough little beauty

by gene_s , Oct 18 '00
Pros: Sleek, unique useful features
Cons: HD filled with stuff you don't need, a bit heavy
After my Winbook fell to pieces after 3 years, I determined my next notebook should be able to better withstand a beating. But with the specs I needed, I couldn't budget for a Panasonic Toughbook. Fortunately, some of the hardened features of those...

for non-business users, it's a value

by duffme , Dec 23 '00
Pros: good bang for buck, dependable
Cons: bit too big, little flexibility/upgrades
I am a network/systems analyst and was given this laptop by my company. Since I rely on it daily for both personal and business use I would likely have chosen something else, though I have been quite happy with it for the past year.

Fantastic Desktop Replacement

by jnelson , Apr 16 '00
Pros: Great features and reliability for hundreds less than Dell, IBM, or Gateway
Cons: Funky hard drive partition
I purchased my Presario 1800 through www.costco.com. I highly recommend you do, too. I actually returned the first 1800XL to my local Costco, and purchased another one.

The Presario 1800 is fantastic. Huge 15" screen, 8x DVD, 600mhz P3...

by 2300 , Apr 09 '01
Pros: Great speakers, offers great SXGA bright screen overall ergonomic considerations.
Cons: larger and heavier than smaller notebooks that sacrifice features
Since the end of 1999, I've gone through several notebook computers (Winbook, Toshiba Tecra (see previous review), Compaq 1800t (see previous review)) and each has had their strengths and weaknesses. But this is the first series of notebooks that I've...

A great machine and configurable

by huycd , Feb 03 '01
Pros: flexible; integrated devices; and good value
Cons: slightly large
Back in 6/00, I needed an NT/2000 portable to replace my 3 year old NEC Versa. None of the stores carried any machine with NT/2000 pre-installed. Compusa offered to special order a machine from Sony, but it was a hassle to work with them to configure...

Pros: Solid Machine, Lots of Features
Cons: Isn't Free
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh yeah - this little sucker has become our primary appliance, and it does receive heavy use on a daily basis. We purchased it last Spring through compaq.com for roughly $2300 - and it has certainly been worth it. It has a Pentium III...

by joeyff , May 04 '00
Pros: large screen
Cons: everything else
I got the 1800XL from Compaq after my 1900T bit the dust, that's another review on this web site, and I hated it. Yeah, the screen's big but the ergonomics are absolutely terrible, it had one of those Celeron processors and it was all stop and go and...

Celeron 1800 a great buy!!!

by sfainer , Apr 04 '00
Pros: Bright Screen, DVD w/ TV-out, Ethernet and modem included
Cons: Compaq software- so-so
For 300 dollars less than a PIII 450 Presario 1800, I purchased a Celeron 500 I couldn't be happier about. With built in DVD w/ TV-out and Ethernet port, this notebook is power machine. I upgraded to 96 megs of RAM and got the 14.1 inch screen,...

Pros: high end system on a good price
Cons: HD partition
I've bought a 1800XL and I'm really satisfied with it. It's is a perfect desktop replacement, damn fast, damn conectible (the onboard ethernet port makes things a lot more easy). The features like sleep mode, scroll button and the internet buttons help...
