Pros: Lots of built in features, etc Cons: Compaq may not stand behind their warranty-read review!
Be cautious when dealing with Compaq warranty. My hard drive crashed and per the instructions of a compaq employee I removed my hard drive for data retrieval and sent the laptop back for replacement and they will not honor the warranty now because the...
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...
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: 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.
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...
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...
OK...College students everywhere should try this comp out. It's light, packs some serious memory and modem-age and it includes the P3 celeron processor. Best of all...when you touch the screen it looks all liquidy! For those of you that are...
Pros: Loaded with features! Cons: Had to wait a week for them to build it. : (
Hello, I wanted to write something for all of you out there that are considering buying a notebook computer. I did a lot of research on notebooks and looked at everything I could get my hands on. I decided on the Compaq 1800 for many reasons. For one,...
Pros: Long battery life,big screen,sound,picture Cons: heavy,little slower than others
When you want the top name in the business ,check out the 1800T. The core of the machine is a 400MHz Pentium II with 192MB of RAM. The ATI RAGE PRO LT chipset with 8MB feeds a bright, big 15.1" screen. There's a 10GB hard drive, integrated 56K...
Pros: Intergrated Ether. Cons: Trackpad might be annoying
I bought mine through costco.com. I knew that I might go back to Korea any day, so I decided to buy from a place that would be easy to return. So I went to costco.com, and ther it was. 12GB HD, 8X DVD, 128MD RAM, 8MB VidRam, PIII 500Mhz, tight-ass...
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...
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...
The customized 1800 is a good computer. until you use it that is. when i first received the laptop, it was broken. the voltage on the pci slot was too high and it was burning up ethernet cards. instead of being able to tell me that right away, tech...
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...
