I have been using Compaq Presario C700 series laptop since February 2008. I purchased it from E-Zone, South City Mall, Kolkata. It came pre-loaded with Windows Vista. Its a good machine. It is useful for graphic design software like Corel draw, Photoshop.
It has only 512MB of RAM but it works well for me. I use it nearly the whole day. The DVD drive has given problems and had to be replaced. I think DVD drives give problems in all laptops. I have had to replace the keypad twice. The machine is black-brown and has a wide screen.
The battery backup is 3 hours which works well during power-cuts. The battery has not been replaced yet and its still giving good service. I have used Compaq Desktops before, I had a Compaq Deskpro from 2000-2007.In general I can say Compaq is a reliable computer brand.Spare parts are readily available in Kolkata.
There are four USB ports on my laptop. Two or three more would have been better but the ports are free of manufacturing defects. The web camera with which the machine is fitted is still working after five long years.
In general I suppose it has been a good buy though the manufacturers force us to take Windows Vista though everyone needs Windows XP more.
