| priseger's Full Review: Compaq Presario 1270 (104722-003) PC Notebook |
The reason I purchased this new Compaq Presario laptop is because I am going to do some traveling in the near future. I can not take my big Compaq Presario that is a desktop along for the ride. I will be flying and it is necessary for me to have a computer to do some of my merchandising work.
I think I will enjoy it as I can communicate with my grown children without picking up the telephone. If I need to talk I will but this is far more economical than using A T and T or some other service. I have instant message with AOL.com.
I use this function frequently as my children have one telephone and if I need them they will respond very efficiently. This is one great feature.
When I was in Florida in the Spring my sister brought her laptop. I was so happy to have a computer to use in the evening when I can not sleep.
This is great therapy for older people as the computer can make you tired.
Now I am an older person and I can figure out how to connect this computer. I never thought I would be able to figure it out. Older people should invest in a computer and try to use it. I hear about so many people that are total bored. This has been a great experience for me.
I did shop for this computer with my son who is more of a computer guru than I. He knew what features I needed and we did not want to go overboard with the price. I went to Sam's Club first and there price was higher than Best Buy. My son asked " Do you want to look some more at other stores? My reply was "No." This was because the price was right and there was a hundred dollar rebate. The computer wound up costing $999. with out the tax. I thought this was a great value for the money. I did get the 3 year warranty to save my sanity incase it gets dropped or any other technical problems.
I am not talking about how the technical parts of this computer operate. All I know is you connect the telephone line and plug it in and it will operate after you press one button. It is pretty basic.
I even have a cat screen when I turn it on with some beautiful cats to make me feel at home.
This is the best present I could possible buy for my state of mind and my passion for the computer.
