Compaq is made by Hp.

I was about to say, haha. HP bought Comaq out a couple years back or so. You have to go through HP's website to order a Compaq's computer. Now I don't know if Compaq is still independent in there pc's or if HP has some control of there new products.

The new Compaqs are Hp computers, they have been for a while now. So i dont see what lukes getting at. Yeah theyre more of a budget computer, but theyre still Hp's rebranded as Compaq's.

^that doesn't look that bad but it still doesn't really compare with my hp, or most hp's for that matter. Id post a pic of mine but i have a craptastic camera that would make it look bad and i have dial. So id rather not spend 20 mins uploading a pic.

Mums looks sorta like that but its a 17" screen and the top buttons are a little different. It was a good deal it was marked down 200 bucks at bestbuy

got it for 650 w/ tax added already

Compaq - Presario Laptop with Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core Processor T2370 - A931NR

thats the exact model but we got ours before the price jumped again.
