Is the Compaq Presario notebook on sale at Staples a good computer?

Question

Why is it so cheap, at $399.98? It even has a HP printer with it.

Answer 1

Yes it is, my daughter and I are both in Grad School and each have the Compac laptop, we love it.

Answer 2

STAY AWAY from Compaq. They have garbage products and non-existent technical support !!!

Answer 3

No no and no. Avoid Compaq at any cost. I have had two and they are frought with problems. They bait you in with a low cost and they are trash.

Answer 4

if you are in the market for a new laptop, I think is better you wait until "Vista" is installed on the new laptops, after January 30, 2007.
