Product Description
The Compaq Presario X1000 series is a simple yet powerful package that gets the work done fast. It gives you the freedom of mobile computing backed by innovative Intel Pentium M processor with Centrino technology and state-of-the-art 15.4-inch widescreen LCD technology at a price you can afford. With the Compaq Presario X1000, integrated wireless connectivity is no longer a fantasy. Surf the net, shoot off an e-mail, or download videos, at home, at work, or while unwinding at a hotspot. With power-conserving features that extend battery life to an impressive 4.5 hours or more, this sleek portable is light and wide, bright and fast, designed to complement your mobile lifestyle.Amazon.com Product Description
Though its raw processor speed may initially seem somewhat average and its 3-D graphic capabilities aren't quite powerful enough for the latest computer games or high-end 3-D graphic design programs, Compaq's Presario x1030us will easily handle most typical leisure or professional tasks, and it won't break the bank or your back while doing so.The secret behind the Presario x1030us is Intel's new Centrino technology. Centrino refers to a triumvirate of interconnected elements -- an Intel Pentium M CPU, an Intel 855 chipset, and an Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 network connection -- all of which work hand-in-hand to make your notebook fast, lightweight, battery-efficient and wirelessly connected.
At the heart of this unit is an Intel Pentium Centrino processor with a seemingly middling 1.4 GHz clock speed. Being a Centrino processor, however, it also sports one full MB of Level 2 cache to greatly improve speed in frequently accessed applications. Compaq has added 512 MB of 266 MHz DDR SDRAM system memory, an ATI Mobility Radeon 7500c graphics card with 32 MB dedicated video memory, and an adequate 40 GB hard disk.
Comparatively portable at just 14 by 10 by 1.24 inches and 6.5 pounds, the system nevertheless features a variety of desirable amenities, including a versatile DVD-ROM/CD-RW optical drive through which you can burn and play audio CDs and watch your favorite movies, a surprisingly spacious 15.4-inch WXGA display screen capable of 1280 by 800 resolution, and an 88-key keyboard with touch pad and scroll bar.
Communication options include a 56K modem for low-speed Internet and email access, a high-speed RJ-45 LAN connector and integrated Intel Pro/Wireless 2100 802.11b wireless LAN. To ensure top-notch connectivity, the unit features an IEEE 1394 FireWire connection for quick data streaming with external peripherals such as digital camcorders, a trio of fast USB 2.0 ports for other plug and play devices, and an S-Video TV-Out.

A great laptop for a great value!.......2004-05-02
Overall, the laptop has a very appealing design and is right up there with other laptops in style, such as the Sony line of laptops. The widescreen display is just candy for your eyes and great for many applications, especially browsing the internet.
The system specs were plenty for my taste, enought to do everyday activities and once in a while a strenuous one, like play games, run CPU taxing programs etc. The HDD size is plenty, though you really only get around 33gb after the OS is installed and etc.
I have not yet ran the computer off the AC adaptor, but the few times I did take it off the power, I really like the feature that tells you (approx.) how much time you have left to run the laptop on the battery. The battery life is great compared to my last laptop. It seems to calculate to over 4+ hours.
Another great feature that I love is the wireless internet. However, it does some weird things when I turn the wireless off and then back on. It finds my network, but won't connect. I just restart the laptop which isn't a big deal. I leave the wireless on most of the time anyway. The button to turn it off and on is a great feature as well.
The feature that I must say I like is the fact that the fan, about 90% of the time, does not come on! My last laptop ran the fan all the time, but this laptop apparently can handle it without running. It's so quiet I don't know if it's on or not. It also usually runs only at around 600Mhz. I rarely see it reach the 1.4Ghz mark. The firewire port is a handy feature, but I really wished they included the 6-pin style rather than the 4-pin. I would really like to try out the infrared port too.
So far I have been very impressed with Compaq's laptop. It's thin, lighter than my old laptop (Gateway 400 series) and it's amazing because it's bigger than that laptop. The speakers are not too good, but it's tolerable. Of course you're not going to get Klipsche quality speakers, but they do their job.
The only other problem I've had is that I haven't been able to burn a CD on the laptop yet. It does have a CD-RW drive, but my software doesn't recognize the drive. I have used Easy CD Creator and Nero, but it can't find my drive. Strange.
One last pet peeve are the stickers that come on the laptop. :) I've tried to get a couple of them off, but they just won't come off!
Overall, you can't beat what you get for the price. I've compared it to the Dell Inpiron 8600, eMachines, HP, and Gateway and the only other close competitor for me were the widescreen series for Gateway. The lower price pulled me to this laptop and I don't regret it!
A Perfect Machine !.......2004-02-25
perfect.......2004-02-15
nice addition to the compaq productline (now a HP company).......2004-02-08
Great purchase!.......2004-01-31
Having owned many laptops over the years, this one is hands-down the best value. The best part is that even with sales tax, I am way under budget. One last thing, the value was not really mentioned online. I had to visit the store to get the scoop.
Good luck!

Great Value!.......2002-02-07
Personal Cd Player.......2002-01-31
Sensus.......2002-01-30
CD player good, car kit substandard.......2002-01-07
However, the car kit cassette insert for the cassette player in my car is of poor quality. It seems to work when it wants to and it doesn't want to very often.
I took a 5-hour car trip recently and was relying on the CD player to keep my kids entertained. I think it worked for a 45 minute stretch and after some frustrating attempts to get it to work, removed it and packed it away.
I would give the CD player 4 stars and the car kit 2 stars and the car kit is really why I bought this model.
Excellent value, especially with cassette & lighter adapters.......2001-08-27
