Keeping It Simple aka The Simple Summary

The Compaq Armada 1750 is great for those on a budget who want to do the basics. Such as surfing the internet, writing emails, playing a card game, and instand messaging. The screen is nice and big. This laptop also featured a very nice touchpad (which controls your mouse.) It also has a spot for 2 batteries, (only one battery is included), the advantages of having two batteries would of course be that you could use the laptop longer without plugging it in.. The laptops processor (also known as it's CPU) is a Pentium 2, which basically equates to the fact that it would be great for those that just want to do some simple surfing of the net, or any other simple function. If you intend to do a lot with your laptop though I would consider a Pentium 3.

Let me also mention that out of the Pentium 2's this is my all time favorite, people seem to never have problems with these due to their simplicity, the batteries seem to never die, and they are very rugged. I highly recommend this for kids due to the fact that it has the power brick build in to the laptop which although does contribute to a little heavier unit, it also means it less likely to have someone break the jack off the back..

One of the nice things about this machine is the built-ins. Need a floppy drive? No problem, it's there.* CD-ROM? It's there too. No extra cords and equipment to tote around. It might make it a bit heavier, but I don't mind; I carry it everywhere.
* - Or swap out the floppy and pop in an extra battery pack, for 4-5 hours of runtime.
