Compaq Presario 1620 for sale. $1500 Great color laptop in excellent condition. Here are the specs: Processor: Pentium 166 MMX (upgradable to 233 MMX (ZIF socket)) Memory: 80 megs (upgradable to 128) Hard Drive: 2.1 gig Internal 56K modem (embedded, doesn't use a PC card slot) USB ports 24X CD ROM drive 5 Speaker built in sound system Details: Screen: forget what they called it at the store - it isn't perfect active matrix, but it is not dual scan either - you can see it from the side...some weird name like TFDT or something..... Memory: manual and compa say it is only expandable to 80 meg, but I had access to two 64 meg chips, and the included 16 meg is not soldered to the board, so I tried it, and it worked perfectly with the two 64's - so therefore it is really upgradable to 128. CD ROM and FLOPPY operate at the same time - they both fit into the unit - no bays or swapping, etc. Two PC card slots. Sound system is wonderful - the best laptop sound I have ever heard, no need for speakers with this. Perfect condition, no scratches, nicks, etc. $4000 paid last September when it was new. Some caveats: screen is not as tight as it was when it was new - if you bring it too far forward or too far back, it will fal back or close shut, but only at angles when you wouldn't be able to see the screen anyway, so who cares. Also, I think the battery is dying after a year of use. Finally, it comes with a compaq quick restore cd - just pop it in and boot off of it and you will be back to the factory installation. Works great. Email me at john_kozubik@hotmail.com if you are interested. I chose $1500 because it is about $100 less than what my local Computer Renaissance said they would be selling it for (have a friend that works there). -John -----== Posted via Deja News, The Leader in Internet Discussion ==----- http://www.dejanews.com/rg_mkgrp.xp Create Your Own Free Member Forum
