    hi,
    i need help with buying a computer and i have heard that HP's and compaq's are cheap because they crash almost every day and that they have almost no computer capabilities at ALL.

    thank you

    cheers.
    and it's already been teleported.

    as to your original question i use loads of OLD Compaq pc's which i'm more than happy with and my laptop is a very new HP Pavilion however i'd rather others comment on your purchase as they'd probably have more up to date knowledge than me, but i'll stay subscribed anyway
