Nice computer bro!

I also just got a new laptop about 2-3 weeks ago. (Also a Compaq) Best Buy was running a special on it, and after rebates, it was only $699. Inexpensive, yes. Powerful for the price, yes. I opted for size, rather than blazing speed. The last laptop i had was over 8lbs. The other laptop i was looking at(besides the one i got) was an HP, P4, 3ghz, 15" widescreen, etc etc etc. Boss machine, but 9lbs.

Pics:



Compaq Presario V2000
14" widescreen UltraBright Display
1.6ghz AMD Turion 64 processor
512mb RAM, expanded to 768mb.
60gig HD
128mb video card
5.5lbs. <3.
Also seen in the pics: 20gig external from my old HP. Bought an enclosure off eBay for 12 bucks. .

Those are the main specs. For those who don't like HP/Compaq, do you have a reason other than hear-say? Before this laptop, i had an HP Pavilion which lasted me about 5 good years before i destroyed it with downloads, overclocking, and other user-related detriments. I've never heard of anyone that i know having a problem with this company. I realize there better rated systems out there, but I personally have never had a problem. For what i do(AutoCad, VIZ, Inventor, etc..very 3d/video taxing), this system is quite cherry. .
