The HP Compaq Presario 1200 laptop was my first good computer. I have enjoyed many many hours playing on it. It's a great little laptop. Perfect for internet use, and for some games such as Age of Empires 2 and The Settlers.

It loads quickly and rarely has an error.

I'm really happy with my Co ...

I am sad to hear that a lot of people have had problems with their Compaq Presario 1200. The only thing that I can find is the battery (it sucks).

I recommend Compaq to anyone that is looking for a laptop.

Another reason why I think people are whinging about their old Compaq Presario 1200 i ...

The HP Compaq Presario 1200 laptop computer has good build quality, but the heat issue makes the laptop pretty much useless.
Consider this laptop if you need something to warm up your house in winter.

I've always had desktop computers and was given a hand me down Compaq Presario 1200 laptop. I think it worked for about one week. One day I went to turn it on... checked connections.... nothing.

I have had a hand me down Compaq presario for almost a year.... for about 6-7 months of that time it's been in service. When it actually turns on it's a great little computer... but now it just sits there like a big black paperweight with a green light for power.

COMPAQ=No good in my opinion. ...

I've owned my Compaq since early 2001, it's actually my very first computer I've ever owned.

I put it through the paces, especially when it became a company computer. The abuse this poor thing went through was unreal and it kept going just as strong as ever, however this wasn't meant to last.

I have [had] two of these HP Compaq Presario 1200 units and they ended up with faulty HDDs and motherboards. Reading other rewievs I can see a pattern here. I belive we should all get refund from Compaq/HP. Oh, did I mention that I am running a Computer service company for the last 9 years and that ...

Overall the HP Compaq Presario 1200 laptop has been a great computer. It has frozen on me a few times but over a 12 month period it's nothing I even really remember. The DVD-Rom I believe was messed up from the time I bought it so that's my bad. Very easy to use and very portable for a laptop makes ...
