Compaq Presario C700t Reviewed

A review of the Compaq Presario C700t widescreen Notebook has been posted over at Notebook Review. 'The Compaq came packed in a simple red box with just the Compaq name on the side. Only the sticker on the side gave any indication what was actually in the box. Inside the laptop had some custom Styrofoam holders that secured it by the ends preventing any sort of movement and keeping about 1½" of space on all sides of the notebook. There was a box for the AC adaptor and battery then a separate box for the warranty paperwork, a quick start guide and various offers from a few companies that had undoubtedly paid to have their bloatware added to my machine. The packaging was rather simplistic, but it gets the job done.

There was no media at all included in the box. Rather, the necessary recovery files are stored on a separate partition on the hard drive with the option to burn a single copy of the restoration media. To burn a copy of the restoration image takes 10 CD's, 2 DVD's or a single dual-layer DVD. The restoration disks will only restore the system to factory defaults - with all the bloatware installed. There is no included option for a clean Vista install.'
