Ok , I bought this laptop in about 2006 and i think its great. Till this day in 2007 .

I dont think it has EVER crashed on me. I am running Windows XP Professional as sold to me by PC World for 900 Pounds.

I can run games like Sims 2 , GTA San Andreas and more , usualy in medium or low mode.

Due to the 128 mb video card. I can store a few of them with the nice 40 GB Harddrive.
The screen isnt your standard plastic screen , this has a thin layer of glass so it keeps it shiny and proteced.
I think its well worth the price , because many computers you bought at that time can’t even compete with this.
The laptop is silver with black top and bottom , it has COMPAQ engraved on the Lid .

The laptop wieghs exactly 5.2 lbs which is ok for a widescreen laptop.

The only bad point is the hing at the back can break , but it opens and closes fine still .

Thank you.
