i cant find the hard drive speed on these, from what i understand (very little) hard drive speed is the bottleneck on laptops, what does everyone think, useing it for school work, maybe watch dvd's in car, dont game much, thanks in advance --- chris
 
I have had one for a month. I got the customized one with:
- AMD XP 2600
- 60 Gb HD
- 15" SXGA+
- CDRW/DVD drive
- 1Gb memory (bought this at OM for a lot less than HP)

I love it. It is really fast. My coworker bought the same model and set it up with Red Hat. The HD is a 4200 RPM model, but seems fast enough.
 
i have one as well, been using it for about 3 months, my only and main computer.

specs:
xp2400
512mb
40gb
dvd/cdr
15" xga

plenty face and no problems!11
 
The Compaq Presario 2100 series for the most part uses IBM 4200rpm 2.5" HDDs w/ 2mb of Cache and up to 80gb in size as options, the default config is an IBM 80GN 40GB 4200rpm drive w/ 2mb of cache. Hope this helps...
