I got my Compaq Presario R4000Z partial review
So far so good. Took it out of the box and set it up and it runs like a dream. I ordered it with 512 megs of RAM and it is lightning fast.
The wireless connection with high speed booster keeps me at 54mbs at all times with a good connection.
I just need this machine for general notetaking and school related items and it appears that it will be worth the money spent. (a little over $600)
My only beef is that I did not know it would be built in China after I ordered it and shipped via Fed Ex. I was hoping that it would be made in North America (preferable USA) and shipped UPS (where I work).
I ordered it on May 17 and it arrived on the 27th.

Don't worry Bobby, I hear that prison laborers in China make quality stuff.
:)
Actually, I did see a story that indicated that Compaq was using Chinese prison labor. Not sure about the details though.
Glad to hear that pastor changed his sign about the Qur'an.
This laptop is awesome!!
I bet it is. I was a desktop person for years, but once I got a laptop there's just no going back.
I looked it up at the Office Depot link, sounds like a nice system at a good price.
Dude, ALL major brands of computers are made in China. Dells are assembled in the United States, but almost all of the parts are made in China.
Some high-end networking gear (commercial switches and routers) is still built in the US, and Blackberries are made in Canada... but that's about it.
