Summary: Great Computer.
Review: I know this review is late and this computer is already out of date, but I have had this 2715US for 2 years and it has worked flawlessly. No problems at at. If you are looking for a good used computer this is the one to have. The dual optical drives are great. The CDRW works great. I have probably burnt 50 or more CD's. The DVD is great with very good screen resolution. We use the computer as a in car DVD player on road trips. It keeps the kids entertained. Games work great. Tomb Raider AOD has worked great, without any problems, as well as Medal of Honor. I have it networked with 2 other computers with out any problems. So far I have experienced no PIXEL BURN OUT as previously mentioned in other reviews. I have 2 other computers, a desktop P3 1.13 and a XXXX noterbook with a Athlon 1.0 GH cpu and the 2715US is a lot faster and more reliable than the other 2. My wifes prefers this computer to her XXXX laptop. The mouse works great. The speakers sound excellent comparabel with some portable boom boxes. I could go on an on. I highly recommend this computer to anyone.

Summary: Solid powerhouse
Review: I purchased my Compaq 2715 about two months ago and I have had nothing but success with it. I have tried taxing the system by watching a DVD while recording a CD-RW and had no problems with it. It is not designed as a carry notebook but rather a desktop replacement. The processor is very fast and the 30 gig hard drive is very beefy to say the least. The 15'' screen displays DVD movies nicely and the 16mb video card keeps you in step with some of the heaviest games on the market today. The only problem I have had is selling my desktop. This notebook is worth every penny!

Summary: Great laptop!
Review: This is a great laptop. I found it on Amazon, but didn't order it here. Anyway, I don't know THAT much about laptops, or computers in general, but I know a good computer when I see one. And this is one! In fact, I am writing this review on this laptop right now.This laptop has a very big hard drive - 30 gb, which is quite large for a laptop. The screen is a good size, the keyboard is pretty good, although nowhere near as good as a regular keyboard. (However, that is true of all laptops.) The computer also has a CD-RW which I haven't used yet, but it will be helpful when I'm away at school. The CD-RW can be swapped for a floppy drive or spare battery. The computer also has great battery life. With the spare battery, it lasts 5 1/2 hours. I haven't tried it without the spare, but I'm sure it can't be less than 1 1/2 or 2 hours. The only minor thing wrong with it is that it is a bit on the heavy side. It's not difficult to pick up or anything, but it does weigh as much as a light bowling ball. I wouldn't reccommend jogging with it for this reason! However, it is not so heavy as to cause me to not want to move it from its current location on my desk. Please remember this is only a very small drawback, and isn't enough to bring it down to four stars. Overall, if you are looking for a great computer that is built like a tank and runs like a top, this is the one for you.

Summary: Replacing My Desktop Is Fun
Review: We were forced to eliminate the office at home to accommodate our expanding family. This laptop has made me excited about the whole endeavor. If you can look past the fact that I am getting about the same hardware that is in my 1 year old desktop, for twice the price, then it's all good. I really couldn't ask for more from a laptop. The screen is big, and beautiful. The dual optical drives (DVD & CDRW) are an awesome configuration for a laptop. I currently have the CDRW swapped with the extra battery that came with the computer. The included extra battery was a total surprise, and great considering it's often a [pricey]option on most laptops. I also bought a D-link wireless router and wireless LAN adapter; now I'm surfing from all over the house. How sweet it is!! If you want to part with your desktop, and not compromise you capabilities, this is a great choice. But beware, this baby is heavy. No problem going from one room to another, but I wouldn't want to lug this thing around on the road.
