Would You Buy Hp Or Compaq?

Window Washer sounds like a superficial cleaning program. if the computer comes with any "junk" software running in the background, you'll prolly just have to figure out what it is and disable it manually, for example use run -> msconfig.exe to go through the start menu and trim down the amount of stuff that's running at startup (Windows doesn't require most programs that insert themselves into the startup list).

as for your concern about bundled software-- you might wanna have a look around on eDonkey and see what's easier to get hold of. that network is a little bit slow, but it's pretty reliable for getting hold of large warez files.

i dunno enough about current HP/Compaq models to comment on which is actually better, though.

yeah i have to agree, as much as i am a fan of AMD, for labtops i would go with the qaulity of a intel and the low power usage

your choice, but i would go P4(also known as P$ hehehe look at your keyboard) for a labtop...

however if you are truly money tight then try out the new e-machine labtops, really cheap, pretty nice qaulity...

called a laptop

wtf is the difference bcuz hp makes compaqs

for starters, there's the official description of what the difference is. i doubt you'll bother to read it since you seem to have made up your mind already that there is no difference.

but i'll link it anyway.
