Considering I paid exactly the same price for the two machines and bought the Compaq a whole year later, this was very distressing. The computer's suspend function is also erratic. It often switches itself back on after an interval of anything between ten minutes and several hours. When you actually try and take it out of suspend, you're often greeted by a blank screen and no option but to go for the power butto...more

Crowned Review Compaq Presario 1200 Series: Who'd like a £1000 bookend? (869 words)

The Compaq Preasario 1245 is now an old machine. I bought mine in late 1999. You'd be lucky to find one in the shops, but they are cropping up quite frequently on Ebay or second-hand. Hopefully you will learn from my mistake... I bought the Compaq Presario 1245 to replace my old laptop, which had been a shop-built number. To begin with, I was fairly impressed. The extra buttons below the touchpad (Easy Access Buttons, apparently) are of variable use. It's nice to have the external volume control so easy to get at, and the scrolling buttons are good too, although I had trouble getting them to work with some programs. The Internet buttons ...

Compaq are sure becoming leaders in producing high quality laptops that are extremely good value for money and highly specified. I got an incredible deal at pc world when I bought my Compaq Presario 1200 XL-103, this is basically an internet pc notebook crammed with all the software you’d ever need. Compaq call it an ‘internet pc’ because it has easy access one touch buttons which open your search page, e-mail, shopping pages and information with one touch. Compaq do various configurations of the 1200 with differing specifications – mine originally had a meagre 32MB of RAM, but I have upgraded this to 160MB with the insertion of the memory ...

Premium Review Compaq Presario 1200 Series: Neat little Package thats brilliant for its Price! (281 words)

The Compaq 1200 series are amazing notebooks, Durable, powerful and economic, this laptop is well worth the Price. The speaker system is brilliant and produces a loud, crisp sound that only a Hi-Fi could beat, with a standard of 64mb it is a very powerful machine but I Would recomend upgrading it 128mb ram. The fact that it is celeron is dissapointing but it still performs very well. The 12.2 inch screen is very good quality and the 6x speed DVDrom is a very large advance on the previous laptops which were only 2x or 4x speed. The Hard drive is a bit of a dissapointment as the standard is only 6gig and has a partition making it confusing at times because the Downloading ...
