I HOPE COMAQE IS OWNED BY HP

Compaq is owned by HP, and they use the brand name to market some consumer aimed products.
The HP line of notebooks is aimed more at a business market.
Many come with an extended warranty as opposed to the standard 1 yr, and all come with XP pro as opposed to XP Home.
These are just a couple of the reasons they cost more, as ell as the fact that they are better built & designed.

Compaq is now a part of HP...
Moreover, Compaq is for beginners. i.e if it is ur first laptop,
Forget all this...i would suggest a MAC BOOK.
i.e Apple Mac Laptops. They come with LINUX softwares and are cool for students (especially IT)

HP is better. Its manufactured by themselfe.
Compaq is good but manufactured by some outsourced company.
Quality wise cheaper can never be better.
