splieu's Full Review: Compaq Presario 2170US (DK587A) PC Notebook
I owned a Compaq notebook before buying this one so I didn't think much about buying a second one. My mistake.

In about 6 months, the hard drive failed. I had to send it back to them to have the drive replaced after talking to some real unhelpful Compaq support people. Two month after that, the thing would not boot up and I had to reset/reload the factory standards and wipe everything out. Now, a little over a year... while it is no longer covered... the back light goes out on the screen. To replace the screen would cost $1200 dollars plus labor.

I would never buy another Compaq computer again.
