Compaq Presario F502EU

Well built good sound

Runs faster with XP installed. Vista pushes the machine mor and slows this a little

smart, stylish and excelent value

none

battery life is very poor. You also have to remove the battery before it can be charged. The lap top also has to be switched on to charge and will not charge on stand by or when off.

Extremely Reliable Easy to move around Compact

Battery life not as good as expected, however by changing the performance mode helps.

Good overall layout and design

Could benefit fron a few extra ports (USN, Firewire, etc)

Good performance, and good value for money.

There are not enough plug-in ports.

well I bought it for its colour! and that it is a sony, sorry my son is the nerd and said it was a good buy. dont know what to expect re battery, i use it in a power point most times and it says when the power is getting low... son says weight is good...

i prefer to use a proper mouse, so with that plugged in and a memory key there are no slots left for anything else (eg a printer)
