Not to completely disagree with you, but if we're talking reliability and longevity AND notebooks, where's the shout-out to ThinkPad? They might hit the wallet a little harder, but the extra cost is worth it. They don't break, period.

i just wanted to say i agree with earlier comments about dell's customer service - i think it should be renamed DELL's HELL indeed!. i live in the caribbean, i ordered my laptop twice and i still have not received it as yet. I had to be transferred a million times from america - bahamas - panama - where ever because my toll free number wasn't working and to make matters worse my sales agent went on vacation without even leaving a message on his voicemail, which means i was having all those problems with no sale rep to assist me. Well, i have just completed reordering the laptop, hopefully i get it soon. So i can be rid of Dell's awful customer service.

Hi,
I'm planning on buy a COMPAQ LapTop ( http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/me/en/ho/WF06b/1770577-1770863-1771313-1771313-1771313-12723670-77918597.html )
of the followong spec.

Now, I need someone to tell me if its a good choice. Also, will it be capable to run WINDOWS VISTA smoothly ?

Thanks

I've had about a half a dozen computers since my first one, which was a 486sx. Then came a 486dx2, then P166, Compaq Deskpro (P200), then a P2-266 and P2-300 and recntly I got lucky at a yard sale and currently own a Compaq Deskpro which is a P2-400mhz with 192 MB RAM.

One thing they all had in common, they where all second hand and all I could afford. And its still my philosophy for buying computers now.
