I am currently on a Dell 8000 850 MHz with 512 Ram and love it! Just remember it is a true replacement for a desk top and carries the weight that goes with it! I use two batteries in it most of the time and get about 5 and half hours of power. A friend of mind just bought the Dell 8000 1 GHz with 512 Ram and loves it as well. If you are wanting something to carry all the time, you probably want a lighter weight machine. Both of us got the Ultra Screen instead of the Super so I can't tell you how much difference their is between them. If you are getting 256 RAM, I would recommend getting it on 1-Dimm. This leaves the other slot open for future use. This is the same recommendation I gave my friend who within 2 months had order the second 256 1-Dimm for his machine.

BTW, I requested the 3Com internal modem and Ethernet mini-PCI card. It seems to get me connected at higher speeds than I was getting on my various desk tops. You can also add a modular RW-CD Drive in the future allowing direct CD coping.

I have no experience with the Compaq.
