Good Points: Wait.... Still thinking....
Bad Points: Customer service is HORRIBLE, CDRW/DVD drives stop working after a few months, A/C plug in back is complete garbage
General comments: I've had my HP Compaq Presario laptop about 20 months now... AMAZING for any HP or Compaq product. Within the first three months I had it, the A/C power outlet in the back started acting up and my computer spontaneously developed critical system failures. It was returned th HP THREE TIMES and none of the problems were corrected despite several hours on the phone. I had to reformat my hard drive at least every few months to keep it running smooth. THe worst part now is the power plug... It overheats so much the plastic surrounding the port begins to melt. JUST for my computer to get a charge, I have to jiggle it just right and hold that acrobatic pose if I want to charge my battery or even check my mail. Buy one again? NEVER. Buy an Apple. Everyone I know that has one loves it.... Even two, sometimes three years later...

I brought the HP Compaq Presario 701FR for £1300 when it was (compared to the rest of the laptops on the market), quite a good spec. I found that soon after purchase I started having problems with almost everything. I was unable to play any of games I installed on it either through the inability to support the software or, as the sales assistant in 'PC World' Peterborough told me, "...What can I tell you, some games just don't work on laptops..."Ok, I'm not the most switched on when it com ...- Read Unbroken1173's review (288 words)

I have had this HP Compaq Presario 701FR for about three years. It has always given me trouble. The first sign of downhill was when my CD/DVD drive was not working. Then it had no sound. Then parts of the screen were not visible. This laptop has been horrid. My advice to the owners of this laptop is to throw it in the trash after a year!- Read tonyblony104's review (71 words)

If you don't mind paying good money for a disposable laptop then by all means get the HP Compaq Presario 701FR, but if you want something that will last longer than 1 year stay far away from all Compaq laptops. One day it will just shut down with no warning. It may start up again but this is just the begining. After a few more frustrating power shut downs one day it will not start up again. Read the forums if you don't believe me. There are literally thousands of cases of this, and some talk of ...- Read randy25's review (118 words)

After 18 months of carefully using my Compaq Presario 701FR laptop... it completely died. Even after the scams of $600+ repairs... I'm out a laptop that cost me $2,000 to purchase in the summer of 2002. Please do not buy Compaq, I wouldn't want you to go through what I did.- Read Jessabell248's review (50 words)

Had this Compaq Presario 701FR Laptop for about 18 months & had no problems at all. Runs Windows XP Home on its 1100 Duron. Increased memory to 384Mb & happily handles everything I've thrown at it. Due to its CPU it is no good as a desktop replacement, but I use it for mobile internet access at customer's premises and invoicing/quotations etc. It still looks like a new piece of kit - better than some brand new ones. Never fails me - I've replaced the battery as the old one eventually failed ...- Read tallymanjohn's review (110 words)

The computer is cheap...and the adage that you get what you pay for should be the motto of Compaq Presario's 700 series notebooks. They suck. Period. I've had mine for 2 years and already it has screwed me over. I need to replace the system board, which will cost me almost $500...which means I have to eat the $1300 that I paid for it (it costs much less now that it has been around for a while) and buy a new one.- Read denstrr's review (97 words and 3 comments)

The first thing that will hit you about the Presario 700 series laptops from Compaq is their stunning good looks. Someone at Compaq has definitely been thinking long and hard about how to give the laptop computer that vital "wow" factor. And they succeded. I was in a well-known electrical retailer just before Christmas and noted, with a wry smile, the cluster of people gathered round the Compaq laptops there.
They feel good too. Rounded corners to the lid, nice two-tone colouring and that all i ...- Read Andy Curtis's review (443 words)
