On Christmas day, we bought a notebook with Vista Home Premium. It is Compaq Presario V3619AU (GX855PA) with RAM upgraded to 4GB from 1GB as the promotion. It costs S$1299 for the base 1 year warantee option. Since I did not trust the quality of any notebook vendors due to my bad experience with Dell Inspiron 600M I bought back in 2003 (1st year HDD and motherboard gone but luckily under warantee. Now keyboard controller is bad so I have to put an external USB keyboard), I opted to upgrade to have 3 year warantee which cost another S$199. So alltogether it is S$1498.

Hi, I also bought the same laptop with the same promotion. everything.
do u happy with what you bought?
Hi there,
I've bought same notebook as of yours in January at same price with 4 GB RAM. Now since morning its keyboard and mouse touch pad shows no response. I dont know what to do. Do you have any idea, like it a compaq problem or some setting problem. I'm really pissed off. Pls guide me.
My mail is thesurhit@hotmail.com.
with regards,
Surhit.
Thanks a lot.
To yoseph: I think it is ok. My wife is using it. She has some complains about Vista. The keyboard is not as good as our old Dell 600M (now dead because of faulty keyboard controller on the motherboard). Overall it seems to be ok.
To Surhit: I am sorry I will not be able to help you on this. You should contact HP directly. Hopefully it is still within warantee. We actually upgraded to 3year warrantee since I no longer trust any consumer notebook brands.
