Hi Damon, we have had a Compaq laptop for two years and touch wood no trouble at all. We are using Windows XP on it , but it will be okay with Vista. I also have a Compaq desk top PC which is also very good.

Am considering buying a Compaq laptop which seems to have everything I need in it at 350 pounds. Has anyone any particularly good or bad experiences with the Compaq brand? Any recommendations? Or should I steer clear in your experience? Am using it mainly for surfing the web and am going to plump for Vista Home Basic. Thoughts appreciated. ...Damon -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
