<p>I actually have a compaq (I was just wondering what other people thought of them), and I've had it for a year and only had one problem, which was fixed for free (since it's still under waranty) in 3 days total (Fedex picked it up on tuesday, and dropped it back on thursday) and the phone tech support people were very friendly and helpful. It wasn't a cheap one ($1,700) so maybe that made a difference, and it's not anything I'd call light, but it's my desktop replacement, and has been working great. I would reccomend it. It's the Compaq (which is indeed pard of HP) Presario R3000.</p>
