I am curious to know if there are any compaq laptop users out there that would be willing to comment on the R3000T compaq series--some online reviews are positive, but I would love to hear from those who are actually using the machine

my intended purpose is for use in a techincal laboratory--word processing, some excell statistics, some very large graphic jpeg manipulations for publication purposes but also want the processing speed to run some high end software for electrophysiological data collection.

I don't need all the bells and whistles of alot of the gaming laptops on the market these days but am looking for a reliable fast processing machine. I don't care about weight, and I have considered toshibas although the reviews are very mixed.

Any comments any one is willing to share would be helpful.

Thank you.

i did my share of reasearch on that system (the R variant) before i bought my uniwill. If you want RAW CPU POWER I do recommend you get the R (with 3700+). but if you do need raw video, you will need the 9600 gpu of the T.

both are good system. but my experience with HP tech support is rather terrible

thank you that is most helpful
