| knickpat's Full Review: Compaq Presario 305 (102331-003) PC Notebook |
I first saw the 305 while at Compusa looking for a replacement laptop. The size attracted me. I have used two IBM laptops and now have a real aversion to weight. The Presario 305 with its features stood out. I also looked at the Sony 505 but it was more expensive and the CD was an additional purchase. A review somewhere mentioned J&R Music as a good shopping and service experience and in two business days my machine was delivered. Set up was easy. I had the same ethernet difficulty mentioned somewhere else but changed to a Xircon 10/100 and was up and running. I also have connected with the modem.
I plan to upgrade to 128 from the 64 meg of ram. The screen is really bright and the keyboard is positive and after some practice is not a problem.
To summerize; great look, great price $1889 plus $24.95 shipping and $119 for a 3year warrenty parts and service. I feel that I have a machine that meets my business needs and with mobility and quality.
