Not a great unit


Let's see, where do I start:
- hinge problems, either they seize or they completely fall apart and loosen on their own from the lcd lid
- lots of hard drive problems
- lots of battery problems
- terrible cmos battery location for resets
- mediocre cooling
- no ps/2 ports
- no cdrw/dvdrom or dvdrw options

Compaq had no problem sending out parts on time under warranty.

We ran a set of 50 on these in our business unit. Not fun. Still suffering.
