    I got my Compaq 1200 in June of 2001 for graduation, loved it. It's been my best friend for seven years--until it ran out of space. That's my bad, but the fact that it's short on space has caused issues. I've had to delete almost all my programs off of it and it hasn't really fixed the space issue ...

    I use this HP computer with a wireless network card, to read my Email, surf the web, run star calculators and map software. It's like having a really big PDA.

    Well i just bought this laptop and it is great. I paid my friend $300 and he gave me this computer with a new battery, a 30gb hard drive and a ram upgrade (its at 308 mb ram). This laptop is fast, speakers on it sound great, and instead of having hard plastic by the mouse pad, it's a rubbery type th ...

    I have had my HP Compaq Presario 1200 laptop since my dad bought it for me for a graduation present from grade 8. It's been a great laptop since then. I have dropped it about 5 times, had the screen break but replaced for 50 bucks on eBay. I still get about 2 hours worth of battery life with the ori ...

    Overall the HP Compaq Presario 1200 notebook is perfect for people who work more often outside than inside the office due to it's size.

    The keyboard is nice, every keystroke gives the confidence to the user what was ebing typed. The JBL speaker is outstanding with it's placement towards to the op ...

    I bought a HP Compaq Presario 1200 new in september of 01. Its been a good computer other than the battery. No major problems. Only minor things i have done to it my self. Upgraded the memory to 320mb, small improvement over the 128 mb from the factory, but it did help.

    One day my HP Compaq Presario 1200 laptop, with 4 years of discrete use, shut off, and I can't use it any more. The Distributor told me that the motherboard of this model failed, and that they had a lot of clients with the same problem. I think that the HP Compaq Company should deal with the OEM pro ...
