| aqc0643's Full Review: Compaq Presario 1685 (112199-003) PC Notebook |
I bought the Compaq Presario 1685 about two months ago and have not had any problems so far. Video quality is pretty good and the 64MB of RAM that come preloaded are sufficient for almost any application. Processor speed is also quite good, although I would have liked a bigger hard drive (comes with 4GB). But I bought a zip drive (separate purchase) and so that solved my problem of data storage. I paid rougly $1700 for this machine and the amount of stuff you get makes it a decent buy. Note that the laptop does come with a 4X DVD player instead of a CD-ROM, which is standard in most other units. Also comes with a 56K modem. The thing I like about this machine is that the modem and the DVD ROM are integrated and that makes life easier. The keyboard is decent but the speaker system is good. Also, the easy-access buttons at the bottom of the keyboard are reprogrammable so you can program your favorite sites and make them truly easily accessible (one-click).
Hope you have as good a time as I am with mine (keeping my fingers crossed:)
