Summary: Last year's top pick at this year's low price!
Review: What do I like the most about my new (2001 model) Compaq notebook?
The quality, workmanship, and features for the "end of the model" production price! Imagine--512 RAM, 20 gig hard drive, floppy drive (educational world still operated in this mode), DVD drive, CD-CW drive, and a 15" screen that is as big as my 17" desktop viewing area!! Not to mention the 1.13 Pent III speed. What? --you want the P-4M and have a battery life of about an hour??-- This beautiful machine has a battery life of about 3.5 hours!! ...
Now, if you plan to do some serious traveling- this model may be a bit too heavy to be lugging around! Because I only go between two schools- the 7 plus pounds of this unit is no problem. Thanks to Amazon.com and their reviews for introducing me to this outstanding laptop computer.
