Summary: This is not Penium 4 Nothwood! only 256 Cache not 512!
Review: This is slow CPU, not worth the money.
I Like both company AMD and Intel, but AMD 1.47 Ghz is much faster Notbeook than this.
Old Penium4 are slow CPUs!
If u buy Penium4 make sure it has 512 Cache wich is Northwood P4

Summary: My second notebook, may be my last for a long time!
Review: Wow, three years ago I bought an IBM 760ED Thinkpad. I thought it was a good deal, but after about a week it constantly froze up. It didn't matter how far you were into Windows, it did it whenever it wanted. Well, I sold it for about 1/3 of what I bought it for to a friend. After 6 months without a laptop and taking a job that required one, I picked up this baby on May 29, 2002. WOW! is all I can say! I wanted to go all out with my newest notebook, and Compaq spared no expense!This is the coolest looking notebook I have ever seen. A silver top and bottom; black around the screen and keyboard, with silver outlining the keyboard, and chrome trim (I'm a chrome freak!). The DVDR/CDRW combo drive is awesome! And I never expected such an excellent DVD picture to come out of this thing. Sure, some things are a little "snowy" and the colors aren't as vivid as they could possibly be, but I had low expectations going into this thing. My first choices before this laptop were a Sony Vaio (because they're SO slim) or an HP (since I'd used an HP at work before). But, the Vaio is too expensive, and Sony isn't built on a computer foundation like Compaq is, and the HP's look like plastic toys (the purple and black ones). With the chrome and the DVD/CDRW combo, I couldn't pass it up! Sure, the price is a bit high, but I truly believe that I got my money's worth. I like keeping my reviews updated, so if there are any problems, I will post them here! Update: 6/12/2002 I have had to figure out the hard way that this baby gets HOT very quickly! (If you receive an offer to buy one of those insurance programs, I recommend you do!) After about 2 hours or so, it gets so hot that my wireless network card will actually stop working. It takes about 10 minutes propped up and shut down for it to cool off, but with this amount of time, it can actually go as long as 15 minutes before getting hot again. Kind of hard to use in bed like this, but, hey. So, beware!!
