I purchased a Compaq Presario F500 laptop a few months back. I have enjoyed using it. It was well worth the amount I paid for it. It was very easy to set up. Easy to get online. Built-in wireless card works great. I would recommend this compute to anyone.

I would just say it is an okay deal. If you have limited budget buying computer, you sure gotta give up on something. It works just fine for basic office jobs and everyday usage, emails, internet, watching videos, etc. but performance rate drops when using heavy complex softwares such as graphic applications.... read full review »

All of my home computers so far except one have been Compaq laptops I purchased off eBay.  I didn't plan to just purchase Compaq; it just worked out that way.  I have been reasonably satisfied with my previous Compaqs, but eventually had problems with them to one degree or another, often dealing with not enough memory, even with one that had 512 MB.  However, my present laptop is my first Presario (most of the others were Armadas) and also the first one I bought new.  The others were used or refurbished, and now I don't feel I would buy anything but a new laptop again.  My little Presario... read full review »

I have had this laptop for quiet some time. This is my first and only laptop so I cant really compare it to other laptop computers. The only thing with the laptop is the fact that it has a lot of unwritten internet connection problems that I have seen in any laptop.

Husband bought this Sunday at Best Buy for $399.  Has Vista Home Base on it, and when I registered it,  I learn HP, the owner of Compaq, is sending me $100 for getting Vista.  The line of folks who barged into the store with us at 10AM, we got it FIRST!

My boss sent me this past summer (approx 6 months ago) to go get an inexpensive laptop for use at home since my previous one had been far too slow to get anything done.

For the money, the Compaq Presario was the best deal at the time... the speed, ram, size of the monitor, everything about it was perfect for my needs.

The computer, after about 4 months though (approx 1 hr. everyday use) has rough gouges in the "E" and "N" keys (my most used, apparently - and no, I do not have acrylic nails) and the middle of the touchpad is completely worn through and many keys are starting to stick (nothing beneath...

I am not the brightest and smartest person when it comes to computers. I am a junior college student so I have had my Compaq laptop for three years now. Not once have I ever had a problem with it. This was the best decision I have ever made in the technology department.

Alot of my friends at school always come over to my apartment to use my Compaq laptop because theirs is not working. Dont get me wrong a lot of the times the internet is not working and most people would blame that on the laptop but its not the laptops fault.. its the internet providers fault! Besides the occasional internet being...

So, I have a laptop. I have had it for about two years now. I really like it. It is made by Compaq Presario and it is a C300 widescreen. It is able to have windows vista on it, i did have in installed, but it did not run very well on it. the graphics were all messed up and it was very slow with vista on it. even though it says it can handle vista, do NOT install it on this laptop... it will not handle it well at all. Here are some positive things that i think about the laptop:

-it is fast

-it's easy to use

-the screen is large

-the resolution is very nice

-is is a good package deal

-it's...

   Have been using the Compaq Presario for several months now and it has given me all that I have needed in a computer.I have fifteen to twenty e-mail per day and I have done searching on Google for many and various topics. Also I have been able to keep up with the news both national and local in a very fine manner.  

   Being retired I do spend about two to three hours per day on the internet. I am able to do surveys for some small remuneration and other duties of an organizational nature.

   The cost at at a large office store was quite reasonable and I took the two year warranty as...

I recently purchased a Compaq Presario SR5250 NX computer from Best Buy. It was in a great package deal with a nice HP 17 inch flat screen monitor and and HP all in one printer/scanner combo. The computer is super easy to set up, is very fast and has great picture quality. The price of about 600 bucks was awesome. I didnt  have alot to spend but needed something newer than the 10 year old computer i was using. So far this has been a wise buy. I surf the web alot and love to do things like write poetry and make cards. It comes with works so you dont have to buy the product seperatly. Which is... read full review »

The compaq presario notebook was a total disappointment.  I purchased it from Best Buy as a gift.  I did not realize until later that the battery life was not good on the computer.  I tried best buy to exchange it, they refused.  The store has terrible customer service. Nobody wants to hear your problems.  They only want to sell you the item and be done with it.  I tried to contact compaq directly. No response.  I am never buying another computer from best buy and certainly not compaq.

However, I have to admit that it is great for the price.  If you are just going use e-mail and internet. ...

I have had the Compaq Presario Notebook Computer for two years now and it is still a perfect fit for me.  I used it for college to take to class.  It fit perfectly in my bag and the battery lasts for a few hours.  I could easily make it threw two classes before i had to plug it in.  At which point, i could plug it in during a lunch break and come back and it has full power again.  Since college, i have used it to travel with.  I have taken it on several airplanes and road trips and its great to watch movies or play games on.  It is also very durable.  My laptop has gone with me to several...

I find the Compaq laptop computer ( Microsoft Windows XP, Home Edition, Version 2002, service Pack 3. The Intel Pentium processor 1.60GHz, 989 MHz, 504 MB of Ram) to be the best quick easy access for your every need. My family uses our Compaq's computer on a daily bases for music, movies, emailing, news, sports, games, white pages, school work, working from home, making cards/tags/designs for shirts, finding anything you need, ect... I have found the laptop is easy for travel also, anytime we go anywhere on a trip or vacation whether it be for working at home, personal use, finding jobs/posting...

The Compaq Presario Notebook computer is a very good computer for the price. I had never had a notebook computer before and didn't have alot of money to put into one at the time. I found it on sale after Thanksgiving for an extremely good price and decided to invest in one. I have not had any technical issues with computer. I don't do alot on the computer. I read my email everyday, I search the web, download my family pictures, etc. I have not had any issues with it whatsoever. It took me a little bit to get used to the keyboard because I had never used a notebook before. But after getting...
