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.

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. smile.gif.

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. smile.gif.
