Karanislove · 18-06-2006, 11:35 PM

Compaq Presario 700

Mobile AMD Duron Processor MMX 1.1 Ghz
240 MB RAM
18 GB Fujitsu Hard Drive
14.1 " LCD Screen
CD - ROM ONLY
Built in JBL Pro Speakers
Floppy Drive

2xUSB 1.0 Ports
S-Video
Serial and Parallel Ports
Modem 56k
LAN
Side Audio and Microphone jacks
PCMCIA Port

Includes Compaq power cable and the battery will only last 10 mins.

*Does not* come with any orginal cds such as compaq restore and WINXP cds. No Software (apart from WINXP installed) and cds included.

Laptop is in good condition with no cracks or dents.

Screen is in mint condition with no lines or lost pixels.

Good little laptop for word processing, only real problem is the battery does not last long (less than 10 mins, veery common problem with this type of battery) so you just have to get a new battery or have it pluged into the wall.

Laptop and power cable only

Do check out my other listings

I have just bought it for only 200 NZD which is 123.331 USD and 66.5958 Pounds. I am going to use it for just internet usage and small office works like word etc...

I will buy a new battery for it as soon as I will recieve it. What do you guys say about this deal? Is it worth of that much or I am f.....?

I'd say it's a pretty good deal considering we use talmost the same currency.
Here, it'd be $167. Nice bargain

£66!!!!! What a bargain. Here on eBay you'd get something like this!!!

"Li-Ion Battery (original battery; not tested; not covered under the warranty)" aka It probably doesn't work.

The only question eating me is, Do I need to have its own compaq restore CD to make all the drivers working on this laptop? or an Installation of WinXP will fix the problem?

Nah, a generic copy of Windows XP should be OK.

If not, you can always download the latest drivers from Compaq's website
