Pros: DVD, 6gb HDD, 56K modem, JBL spreakers Cons: DVD picture is "jerky" unless maximum memory is available.
This past October I bought a nearly new Compaq Presario 1200XL-111 from a newspaper ad. I hate to say this but I think one of the other reviewers here got a lemon, but I most certainly did not. My DVD works great and I am tickled with this terrific...
Pros: Good features for price point Active Matrix, DVD, Cons: Shared Video RAM arch. , Restore disk/2 gig system partition uses 1/3 of disk space
This laptop has alot of good features for the price. The features included for hardware and software are good for the price you pay. You get Internet capability (AOL type ISP software and NetZero free access software are included). You get Microsoft...
Pros: Solid crash free performance, easy use for MAC switchers Cons: flimsy case, noisy
Until the arrival of the Compaq 1200, we were primarily a MAC household with 3 aging MACs (a Performa 6205, Color Classic and Classic). When the monitor on the Performa bit the dust, we decided that the time had come to get something new. In switching...
Pros: great display, speed, modem Cons: poor documetation
When I prepared to buy my Compaq laptop, there were no reviews we could find. So I want to be helpful to others. I am an experienced PC and laptop user, so I expected no problems with the machine. On the other hand, we have had some problems, minor or...
Pros: Fast, easy-to-use, stable Cons: Poor battery life
When I went shopping for a laptop, I looked at every brand available. Compaq was on the bottom of my list based on the mediocre functionality of previous incarnations. After considerable research at epinions, PC sites and magazines, I bought the brand I...
Pros: Cheap and affordable Cons: Well the dvd player just plain sucks..
Earlier this year I was searching for a cheap affordable laptop that my sister would need for where she was going to college... I looked for a laptop with the following criteria..
THE SPECIFICATIONS
Her college required her to have...
Pros: light, large screen, user friendly Cons: It doesn't cook!
Who would have thought that it is possible for one to fall in love with their laptop? When I think of words to describe my Compaq 1200 words such as "buddy" and "pal" come to mind. I was looking for a laptop to replace my old one...
Pros: Mid range laptop, 13.3" TFT XGA Cons: Does not come with Windows 98 CD
I searhced all over the mail order catalogs, local computer stores (CompUSA, BestBuy, Circuit City etc.) and the internet for mid range > 13" TFT Active Matrix XGA display.
Final budget buy is Compaq Presario 1200 Xl-111.
Pros: Fast Modem, Great for School Cons: Nothing I can think of
I just want to say that this is a great laptop. I mean it's got DVD drive and the whole shabang. I even use the free internet that comes with it. This laptop is great for school or to take to college. So far, it hasn't had too many problems. If you...
Pros: Processor, Cost. Cons: Battery's life, system lock-ups, accessories.
Based on my own experiences, and after reading the other reviews, I see the areas where Compaq needs to improve this model. Granted, the cost-per-feature ratio is attractive, but when I choose to invest $1700.00 for a computer, I expect more than I have...
