I am in the IT department at work and I have worked with Aramedas and have found that they are qiute defective in the fact that when it is connected to network, after about five to ten minutes they freeze up and are no longer able to browse the network. Something is defective.

User friendly and easily portable, although it is quite heavy. Has a fair amount of power for a small machine. Upgrades are difficult.

Pretty powerful notebook. Mine is a PZ 400MHZ 5GB hard drive with 64 RAM. I like its size and active matrix display. It's pretty light too. Good for school.

I own one of these and I have had zero problems with it. It always runs fine and is versatile.

Combining sleek engineering and smooth style, it looks the best out of all the laptops. At less than one and a half inch high and less than 5 and a half pounds, it will probably storm the market. Only downside is that it is not a full size keyboard.

I've only used one a few times but I thought it was kinda ugly, and a little heavy for something that wasn't really exceptional. Maybe they've gotten better it's been a couple of years.

Good for the multimedia, but the service and parts are expensive. The best for a multimedia presentation.

The Armad series of Compaq is afriendly yet powerful laptop.
