 great inexpensive buyJun 29, 2010
ive had this laptop for about 3 years i think, maybe a little less. it works great, although vista is a slight downside. ive never had a problem with it. the battery life is about an hour and a half until it needs to shut down. id recommend it for just home usage, since its hard drive its only 120 gb, its not a great computer for someone who is downloading a lot of video and music. - - 5 star review because its reliable and it is what it says.
 Avoid HP/Compaq They're not worth the hassle.Sep 29, 2009
Purchased a HP/Compaq F750US just before Circut City announced they were filing chapter 11. Oops.
My last Compaq Presario had done a full 4 years before a hd failure lead me back to the store. I figured I'd try another one. Big Mistake.
I don't know where they outsourced their quality control to, but it sure must've saved them a LOT of money. It ran ok for the first month or so, then it started making noises in the fan, getting loud enough I thought it was about to throw a rod or something (old VW reference). The fan noise would get louder and softer at various times, all accompanied by hot laps. trying to use "wind in a can" to clean it out had no effect. Calls to HP brought no help or suggestions, aside from sending it in and paying more than I paid for it to have it fixed.
After a couple months of this fan noise, the wi-fi goes out. Fortune was with me though, as I had a wi-fi modem floating around. That worked for a while, until I notice that the internal wireless was working again after waking it up one morning. Ooooooookaaaaaaayyyy. Wi-fi internet is intermittant from then on.
Next issue, about a week or so after it's warrenty ran out, was it started to power on, then quit and shut down after a second or so. Then it would try again after a few seconds. Looping...
Investigation found that a few other HP/Compaq models had actually been recalled due to the wireless/power-on looping issue, but this model isn't one of them. Perhaps if there's a class action suit starting, I'll be able to get something out of them then.
Until then, I'd suggest staying away from any HP/Compaq products. Their quality has just taken too big a hit lately. Then their customer service quality declined to match.
 Great machine when working properly.Mar 31, 2009
This is a great machine when it is working properly. Several times when I turn it on, the battery will power on and the ventilator will hum, but the screen will not turn on to Windows. On occasion, I've had to wait two hours for the battery to power down so I can try again to turn it on. I have to keep its battery level low so when I turn it off, I won't have to wait long to get my computer up. Sometimes it takes several tries on an empty battery freshly plugged in for the computer to finally boot up properly. When it works correctly, the computer is perfect. I love its ample memory and am impressed with how many applications it can manage at a time.
Good BuyJan 06, 2009
I purchased this product refurbished, and it's been great. For the price, it was an amazing buy, for the price of a new one, I would say it depends on what you're looking for in a laptop. The only complaint I've had so far, and I can't really call it such, because I knew this when I purchased it, is that I wish it had a little more RAM. The 1GB is plenty for most applications, but for gaming and such, you're going to want to upgrade. If you have the opportunity to purchase this laptop refurbished, I say go for it. It's well worth the cost.
 touchpad driving me crazyDec 09, 2008
It's a powerful enough laptop, great screen, and all that. But they put the buttons too close to the touchpad, so when I go to press a button, the mouse pointer is now at the edge of the screen. I turned up the "palm check" in the software almost to the top, so it will ignore presses on the edge, but I am still having trouble.
I'm sure it looked all compact and wonderful to have the buttons adjacent, but it's an ergonomic disaster. I guess I'll try a strip of packing tape over the bottom of the pad next.
