I ordered this computer directly from Compaq, had it custom built to my specifications. I really wanted a desktop replacement computer, one that could play all the games without having to sacrifice any quality. That's why I opted for the ATI Radeon w/ 128mb dedicated ram. In most laptops today, you'll find that the video ram is shared with the main ram, meaning its much slower. This laptop actually has a for real video card in a minipci slot interally, it features S-Video Out (for out put to a TV) and can play half-life 2 at high resolution without hiccuping at all.

I also upgraded the ram to 768mb, 512 can feel sluggish at times.

The Pentium 4 processor running at 3.0ghz rivals that of nearly every desktop out still today.

I also upgraded the harddrive to from the 4200rpm model to the 5400rpm model, for faster performance.

Also comes with JBL Professional Speaker system and a 6 in 1 built in card reader.

• 3 USB 2.0 ports and a Firewire port as well....

Now for the cons: there really is only one, the battery that I currently have for it doesn't hold a charge for that long; when i first purchased the computer the li-on battery lasted for an hour and a half, now it has to be plugged in the majority of the time, can be unplugged for like twenty minutes give or take. I did find new batteries on eBay, for like $60, so its not a huge deal, but I had to mention it.

I spent over $1600 on this laptop new, I'm looking for $550 obo... Let me know if you have any questions.
