RE: Decent spec laptop for a decent price!!
Darned good box, just got one for my daughter to take to uni. Got it from Technoworld but they`ve sold out.
Well impressed - I couldn`t find a better box for the dosh ....spent best part of a week trying.
Only snag I`ve found is that you have to set the graphics adapter to full harware acceleration to play DVDs. If you do that the outline on selections doesn`t work well on Word and PaintShop Pro. However, if you set the graphics to no acceleration then the selections work but DVDs don`t.
Minor problem.......
UPDATE...problem fixed with latest driver from HP site.

Dell sell decent laptops but are normally pretty expensive. However if you go to their site via ukfrenzy.co.uk, then you can get a bit of a bargain.
I have bought 2 in the last month and have been well chuffed.

is it me or is that compaq one a TAD heavy at 5.44kg???!!!
RE: Decent spec laptop for a decent price!!
Spec I have says 3.1kg but what the heck
Trouble is, the more features you get the more it weighs. The Compaq box has inbuilt DVD/CDR and floppy drive so you don`t have to cart around a hotswap drive.
Depends whether you want to travel the world with it or have something that doesn`t take up much space at home and occasionally want to transport it.
You pays your money and you takes your choice.... and it is a good price :)
