Hmmmm...my wife's laptop uses a Pentium II Mobile, so at least the
name is different.  I don't know if there is any functional
difference.  This laptop includes a tiny fan that is apparently
utilized based on temperature.

Someone else posting to this thread bashed Compaq laptops.  My Aero
(486SX) & Armada 1120 (P-100) are reliable Linux machines & are still
supported on Compaq's web site (software) & pcservice.com has repair
parts available.  Both have memory upgrades & I've have installed disk
upgrades (1.2gig & 2gig) myself.  I'm not particularly a fan of Compaq
(I prefer to assemble my own desktops) but these laptops have served
me well.
