I owned a pretty recent Compaq laptop until, well, recently.

Their designs are really quite good, especially when you see one up close and use it for a while. There are a lot of little details that most manufacturers don't get right - stuff like the labels for the ports above them, so you don't have to turn the computer sideways to find things. They're also thermally designed really well, such that the laptops never really get hot. And they feel like they're well built. They also always seem to have various features that, taken together, are only available at a higher price in other laptops.

The problem I had is that the power connector went out on me twice. The first time, it was repaired under warranty - second time, I was told it'd be $300 to fix. I looked at new Compaq laptops for a replacement, but they all have the same style power connector and I wasn't going to take a chance again. Ended up getting a good deal on an Acer instead. And my new laptop has just made me appreciate how well-designed and built the Compaq was in comparison - except for that goddang power connector, which is kind of a fundamental and important thing to screw up.

I have the HP Presario V6000. I just bought a new one and was trying to sell the older HP if there is anyone out there interested please feel free to e-mail me at pinkice00@yahoo.com for details. I have had this one for 2 years and cosmetically is in excellent condition as well as internaly. It has been kept in a dust free enviornment. I have never had any complaints/issues meaning I have never had to have it repaired. Again if anyone is interested feel free to email me with an questions reguarding this.

Thanks,
Heather

Do you still have your laptop? I am looking for a hard drive (I think) for my v6000. Please let me know what you want to sell it for if you still have it. Thanks, Tam
