FS: 3Ghz Laptop w/ 768 Ram

[Jim]

Compaq Presario R3000US Laptop

Pentium 4, 3.0 Ghz
768mb of DDR2700 Ram
ATI Radeon 9600 Mobility w/ 128 DEDICATED RAM
60gb 5400 RPM Harddrive
15.4 inch Wide Screen
Built in 802.11b/g Wireless
10/100 NIC Card
Comes with XP Professional

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.

[amicheze]

[wo1fpack2004]

i knew this laptop would sell right away.. thats damn cheap and a nice ass laptop..

[treimche]

Sounds like a hella good price Jim. I don't like the part about the battery lasting only 1.5hrs though. A laptop is not supposed to need to be plugged in all the time.

[Jim]

It's got a 3 ghz pentium 4, fast hard drive, powerful video card, and a big monitor... you can't expect battery life to be very good.

My mom has a 17" toshiba and that thing lasts like an hour tops....

[amicheze]

so is it sold for sure?

Bump for an awsome laptop, too cheap for the specs. I had the same one with only 733mhz AMD 64 and 1gb of RAM, and that was pretty fast. To make clear of the life of the battery, mine had the same problem too, only last about an 1. My new Gateway last atleast 2 and a half hour, could it be a compaq glitch?

[tweak]

shit i wish i'd known you were gonna sell it, i would bought that from you instead of buying a new laptop...oh well, bump for a nice notebook.

[PSiedTSi]

my dell lasts about 3.5hrs(its a year old :))

[SmitEvo]

Mine lasts 4 hours plus.........I bet Jim gets a pimp laptop like me.

[BlueSRT0483]

[Jim]

Thanks for the interest guys, Raider let me know if you have any questions...

[Raider]
