Compaq Presario 1245 (146151-167) PC Notebook

Pros: It's a laptop and it's portable.
Cons: Slow, slow, slow. Too much pre-loaded software.

My sister loaned me this laptop because she has MS Access 2000 loaded on it and I wanted to learn about databases. The Compaq Presario 1245 is not something I would buy for myself if I were to buy a laptop. This particular model is no longer...

Pros: Sleek and light weight
Cons: Absolutely Nothing

After two hours in a local computer store, I finally settled on purchasing a laptop for the beginning of my college career. I had looked at many brand name computers, both IBM as well as Macintoshes, but I finally decided to purchase a Compaq laptop. I...

Pros: Cheap
Cons: Everything else

I bought the Compaq Presario 1245 to replace my old laptop, which had been a shop-built number.

To begin with, I was fairly impressed. The extra buttons below the touchpad (Easy Access Buttons, apparently) are of variable use. It's nice to...

Pros: Cheap Memory
Cons: the price is kind of too high

I bought me a compaq labtop 1245. It is good but however its not as fast as i had expected.... I got a good deal on it so for the price i paid for this labtop, i think its still pretty good. I got it for less than 4600.
Oh, the good thing about it...

Pros: fast, sufficient, long battery life
Cons: none

Ok...here goes:
I bought a new Compaq Presario 1245 for School, Internet, and Personal use. I bought it in September 1999. At first I had no problems. The batteries life was great and everything. One day I left it on, with the adapter so not...

Pros: Price Tag
Cons: Locks up all the time

I just purchased a brand new personal laptop compact Presario computer, and I DON’T LIKE IT AT ALL. All the thing does is lock up. Whether it is just opening a program or surfing on the internet, “which is what the computer is designed for,” it...

Pros: Price, Quality, and Usefulness
Cons: Speed and Speakers

I bought my Presario 1245 in July of 1999. I liked the design of the unit, and I especially liked the internet buttons on it and felt they were in a good location. I love the touchpad, too. As far as the value, I don't think you can go wrong. The...

Pros: Lots of Hard drive space...good standard software
Cons: Poor customer service

I bought the Compaq Presario 1240 last year for business use. My last computer (an IBM Aptiva, 75mhz pentium, 1GB Hard Drive) just wasn't cutting it any longer. Funny how when I bought it, people always told me, "There is no way you'll ever use...

Pros: Small, convenient, easy to use
Cons: could be a little lighter in weight

I have had my Compaq 1245 for several months now. I have had no problems with it at all. As far as the comment about the battery problems, I did hope that the battery would last for more than 1 1/2 hr., but so far that is the longest time it has...

Pros: Cheap, good sound!
Cons: Battery, software, lack of ram and not upgradeable.

The notebook has been plagued with problems from the start. There is way too much software installed on it from Compaq which slows it down a lot. I did add 128mb of ram which made the speed increase dramatically and made multi tasking a whole lot easier....

Pros: Internet Zone, CD-ROM, excellent internet connections
Cons: little ram, little hard drive, bad battery life

I purchased this laptop around a year ago, and it has been an excellent laptop. The reason I got it was because of its price tag, which at the time was $1299, but now you can find it used for about $500. It has a 24x CD-ROM drive, and a built in floppy....

Pros: price
Cons: it gets really warm

The Compaq Presario 1245 is a nice laptop. Its specs are: 333mhz, 32mb ram, 3.2 gig hd, cdrom. Currently, there are a lot of better laptops on the market, however, this one can be purchased for a really cheap price. It is sufficient for what I do. I...

Pros: Good price, all features, reliable, good looking
Cons: Lots of "extra" software, slow startups

I bought this laptop round a year ago. It was bought for me to take to school the next year. What brought us to this laptop and Compaq in general was the quality and the off-the-shelf availability. Unlike Dells and Gateways (both good too) Compaqs can...

Pros: Processor speed
Cons: low memory

I am personally impressed with the Compaq Presario 1247 notebook. It's 400 mhz processor is more than enough to keep any computer user content for the next year. I believe that mostly students would benefit from this product because of it's portability...

Pros: Word 97 included
Cons: Ram needs to be upgraded ASAP

When I think of the Compaq 1245 several features stand out. The single most important one is price. The 1245 is priced to sell at $1000.00-$1200.00 depending on which retailer you shop with. The basic features include: 3.2 GB Hard drive, 32MB Ram,...
