This Compaq Presario 1200 is the worst computer I have ever purchased. Compaq tech support sounded like it was based in India (very incompetent). I would not recommend it.

It happened to me and to 2 other people with the exact same Compaq Presario 1200 laptop, one of which actually got a new harddrive, only to have it disintegrate after a month of use.

Not very durable, plastic body is bad and breaks, keys get stuck in all the time. It's not very fast and freezes constantly. Though the battery is ok after 3 years and last for 3 hours. Overall, it's not a laptop for people who travel a lot.
