Hi Folks,

Do any of you have any particularly good or bad things to say about your
experience with laptops? I've always had a Dell, and never had any
problems. I would look at other vendors, however, if someone recommended
them. I'm interested in durability, value for the money, and also any
features that you have and decided were a waste, or features that you wish
you had. Office Depot has a Compaq Presario R3000Z with an AMD Athlon XP-M
Processor 2400+ for sale through 3/8 for $399 after some rebates. The
machine has 256 DDR Memory, a 40 GB hard drive, 8X DVD-ROM drive (not
burner-- can get the burner for $55 more), 15" XGA screen, 32 MB nvidia
GeForce 4 420 Go (upgradeable to the 64 MB for $25) graphics card. The guy
at Home Deport recommended that I upgrade to the high definition clear
screen for $75. I don't know if this is a good deal or not. Also, does
anyone know if there is a non-biased site that rates PCs (other than
Consumer Reports)?

Thanks much!
