Pros: Portable and lightweight. Cons: I'm not thrilled with the touchpad mouse.
Preamble
I have used notebook computers before however, this is my first experience with a COMPAQ notebook. I didn't pay for this. It was furnished to me by my employer.
I often wonder what people are looking for in a review of...
Pros: Multi-bay construction with hot-swapping capabilities Cons: S-L-O-W..Unreliable, and at times unreadable with poor battery life
INTRODUCTION:
The Compaq M700 has been my computing buddy for about eighteen months or so. This is the standard corporate issue at our company. We have a large number of these systems all round the USA in use with our Field Service, Sales and...
Pros: Big screen, light weight Cons: Quality control
I bought the Compaq Armada M700 about a month ago. Right out of the box, the PC Card slot did not work. I called Compaq's customer support, and after troubleshooting with them for half an hour, the tech told me that they would have to replace the entire...
Pros: Slim; fast, clean operation. Cons: EasyPoint device is not for the faint of hand.
I'd bought a Compaq Presario desktop that was an "okay" machine, but difficult to customize--I figured I'd not look at Compaq again. Then came the day I shopped for laptops and one of the M700s offered by CDW beat all the others hands down in terms of...
I've worked on Compaq PCs for many years because of the nature of my work so I know them very well. Compaq consumer PCs like Presarios are not that great. Compaq business workstations like the old Prolinea and the current Deskpro have always been...
Pros: Lightweight, large screen, has every needed feature Cons: poor design, slow performance, sound card picks up interference from other devices
When I started my new job about a year ago, they surprised me by letting me know that they were giving me a new laptop for work. I was pleasantly surprised when they handed me a Compaq Armada M700, as it was very lightweight and compact, and was an even...
Pros: Thin, Light, and Powerful Cons: Does not come with touchpad
I've had my Armada M700 at work for about 2 months now, as a replacement for my Dell Inspiron 3500. I replaced the Inspiron because it lacked the power needed for my development sandbox and also Dell was getting more and more unresponsive from a...
Pros: lightweight, portable network built-in, DVD Cons: fragile, buggy, bad sound.
To finish my series of computers I work with daily, here's my take on the M700 offering from Compaq. Bear in mind, I have just recently finished reformatting one to redistribute to a member of my executive staff.
Pros: Excellent references, great display,
one of thinnest, lightest in class
Cons: Card locations, sharp bottom edge, speaker location, poor performance - way too slow
Having been in the market for a new laptop I have been on a quest for the better bargain without giving up any options or power.
Most people would be satisfied with the size, weight and shape of the Compaq Armada M700. For a time, it was it...
Pros: Amazing performance, options Cons: A little pricey
Trying to buy a computer is an extremely difficult task to tackle. There's a million -- or at least what seems innumerable -- different options to choose from, each offering its own set of pros and cons. As a first-year student in college at UCLA, my...
This is my second machine that I use at work and sometimes home. I have it running with NT Server 4.0 on one disk and Windows 2000 on another. Both Operating Systems run fine.
It's really easy to swap the hard disk if you don't have it...
Pros: Light, fast and pretty Cons: Power management
My company has purchased 65 of these high-end business laptops for power users/travelers. My job is to insure we get a stable Windows NT install functional on these units, and then to upgrade selected folks in our user community.
Pros: Basically there are none except for the 3 year warranty. Cons: Almost everything about it except the screen and warranty.
Because my employer made the decision 6 years ago to only buy Compaq I've been plagued with 4 cantankerous laptops over the last 6 years. The latest in this serious of overpriced, underperforming, endlessly locking up bricks is my M700. If you buy one...
