| alexya's Full Review: Compaq Presario 700US PC Notebook |
I bought the Presario 700 in August 2002. For two and a half years I never had any problems with it, other than it got really hot at times. In December 2004 the old battery died, and when I replaced it with a brand new one, it died too, which makes me think there was some problem with hardware, not the battery, or motherboard as some HP people told me. It's been over 6 months, and I can only use it as a desktop computer now since the battery is not working. The computer also freezes a lot and I have to reboot it lots of times every day, most of them when I watch streaming media or something like that. Overall, it's been a good computer, but kind of failed me recently....
Also, as is the case with most Presarios -- I think -- the case is cracked now (I didn't drop it or anything), just poor design. Cracked at the bottom of the screen (on the other side) and right in the middle of cover....
