[quote="redhawk_six":d3fc9]I happen to disagree with you Joe. I've got a Compaq Presario Laptop, and I love it. I would highly recommend it to anyone who can afford it. And I've had no problems with the company when I noticed the Norton Anti-Virus CD that was supposed to come with it wasn't there, I just called them, told them what disc was missing, and they mailed it to me right away, I had it in less than a week.[/quote:d3fc9]

Well, evryone has their opinion. Just me personally, I work with alot of compaq PC's, and the hard drives tend to die on them within a year. As for the laptops, we stick to Toshiba & IBM, but most of my friends and some of the ones we have here are Compaq, and they have problems like dying batteries, burnt out processors, hard drives, etc. I've just had alot of issues with Compaq, but Dell wasn't that bad.
