Pros: the computer is good. Cons: the mail-in repair service isn't just incompetent, it's immoral.
This isn't actually about the laptop. The laptop is divine. This is about the atrocious repair service at Compaq. If there's a section for "repair quality", please tell me.
I am fighting inconsolable tears right now, and I blame it...
Pros: Big screen Cons: Crashes out of box, bad service, screen connection easy to damage
As part of my job as Wide Area Network administrator, I need a PC laptop for 80% of my job. Compaq had an excellent reputation that I was familiar with in the server world, so I made the mistake of thinking that reputation reflected the entire company....
Pros: excellent customer service. functions well. Cons: no restart button. The electrical cord that comes with it often separates, draiing the battery.
Wahoo!!! I finally got my laptop back. As you can probably guess, I now feel a completion to my life that I haven't felt in...three weeks. That's an awfully long time to go missing one's soulmate.
Pros: Easy to move and fun to use Cons: Takes a long time to boot up

Pros: Plenty o' power, big screen, nice DVD Cons: At 7 lbs, it's "The Herniator"
I bought my Presario 1690 this summer after test-driving many makes and models. Six months on, I'm happy to say I'd do it all over again. It's not laptop nirvana by any means, but it's a powerful package for the money.
Pros: DVD, VERY large screen Cons: Slow boot up, Constant restarts
I'm sorry to all of those would-be buyers or people who have already made the mistake of buying a Compaq computer, but they are just not up to todays standards. I've had two Compaqs now, and I have only had trouble with both of them. Compaq likes to...
Pros: Easy to use touch pad.. looks pretty? Cons: Breaks a lot. Noisy. Did i mention it breaks?
Ok, so i got this computer for high school as it was compulsory in 10th grade.
Let's just say.. in the beginning i loved it. It was great. But then when I compared it with other peoples laptops i noticed how noisy it was when I either had it...
Pros: many extras for the buck; reliability Cons: weight (could be lighter)
The 1690 notebook computer by Compaq must be one of the top notebooks on the market. Equipped with a Shark Drive and DVD player. It has a large screen and a ultra modern "mouse", which is actually a touch pad, very neat! It has a lot of...
