HP Compaq Presario 1200

It is empowered with AMD processors. The chips introduced were of the range 333 MHz to 550 MHz. It has allured the mobile users especially the business class owing to its light weight and standard dimension (12-inch).

Running XP Pro and has RAM maxed out at 188MB. Video Memory set to a whopping 8MB Shared. Has Linksys Wireless card and streams music from a laptop in another room with an external drive. Streams 320 Kbps music all day long. Its single USB port has an IR reciever that I used to control it with a Media Center Remote.This computer has been on for the last 3 years and I never shut it off.

I got my Compaq 1200 in June of 2001 for graduation, loved it. It's been my best friend for seven years--until it ran out of space. That's my bad, but the fact that it's short on space has caused issues. I've had to delete almost all my programs off of it and it hasn't really fixed the space issue... I know I should have de-fraged it a long time ago, but it always took forever or ran into errors so I just skipped it. My screen broke about a year ago, that's been really annoying, I have to prop it open any time I want to use it. As of last night, it just turns off on me and will only restart in Safe Mode. I have no idea what's going on-something obviously is bad somewhere. I knew this was coming eventually, and I'm pretty sure I can recover my files. I should have bought a new laptop when my screen broke last year. I am sad to see it go though, I loved it!

Got it for 50, works a treat

I use this HP computer with a wireless network card, to read my Email, surf the web, run star calculators and map software. It's like having a really big PDA.

Well i just bought this laptop and it is great. I paid my friend $300 and he gave me this computer with a new battery, a 30gb hard drive and a ram upgrade (its at 308 mb ram). This laptop is fast, speakers on it sound great, and instead of having hard plastic by the mouse pad, it's a rubbery type thing i really recommend this laptop.

I have had my HP Compaq Presario 1200 laptop since my dad bought it for me for a graduation present from grade 8. It's been a great laptop since then. I have dropped it about 5 times, had the screen break but replaced for 50 bucks on eBay. I still get about 2 hours worth of battery life with the original battery. The floppy door guard broke off. Other than that it's been great. Good quality laptop for homework, and the Command and Conquer Red Alert 2 game works great with it.

Even though this is my first and only laptop, I think that it is a great one.

Overall the HP Compaq Presario 1200 notebook is perfect for people who work more often outside than inside the office due to it's size.

The keyboard is nice, every keystroke gives the confidence to the user what was ebing typed. The JBL speaker is outstanding with it's placement towards to the operator's face, it gives full sound power with good quality sound produced.

The only problem with the notebook is the notebook shell which is very easily cracked and as usual HP products parts price is killing its consumers

The HP Compaq Presario 1200 is a very solid machine, reliable. After five years I had only had a problem with the screen cable

I bought a HP Compaq Presario 1200 new in september of 01. Its been a good computer other than the battery. No major problems. Only minor things i have done to it my self. Upgraded the memory to 320mb, small improvement over the 128 mb from the factory, but it did help.
