“Run far far away from this F700!”

Compaq Presario F700 —
This laptop is HORRIBLE! I've owned it for a year as of this month, and the screen has gone out 4 times, the AC adapter had broken off once and become loose twice. They tried telling me the adapter was from physical damage despite me never taking it off my laptop stand. Finally, after having to call 3 times yelling and screaming that the screen has gone out again, (after 2 trips to HP technicians and them claiming they recreated the problem and have fixed it) and telling them my computer is making me fall behind in my online classes, they are FINALLY sending me a new computer. This thing is a piece of ****. I cannot run anything on it at the same time as I run photoshop, so the ram is not nearly enough even for one demanding program at a time, the touch pad periodically will not let me use the scroll function and sometimes won't work for days. and the biggest problem with all of this?? the first time my screen went out I only had the computer for 5 months. save up another few hundred more and get a better one. i wouldn't wish this laptop on my worst enemy. if you ignore all this, please do 2 things: buy an s-video cable so when the screen goes out, you can use your tv as your monitor, and also, make sure you have flash drives and cd's to back up everything you don't want to lose when you send it in multiple times! worst laptop i've ever encountered. stay away if you haven't already.
