thread: Compaq AMD-based notebooks overheating!!!
A worthwhile nugget from an Inquirer.net article about recent Compaq supply problems. What a mismanaged company! That includes selecting a family of chips infamous for running hot for their notebooks...what was Compaq thinking? This suggests to me that the HWP-CPQ merger will be disastrous for the two, but overall neutral or even beneficial for Intel.

from: theinquirer.net
Arggh… a CompUSA like disaster. The Best Buy chain has replaced Compaq
networking product with Netgear and Linksys branded goods, reports Best Buy in
Sterling.

And over at Cary, some customers with 715US notebooks are saying that they're
overheating and locking up. Is this normal, the sales folk want to know.

Brentwood. "The store was rather slow and the employees seemed disinterested in
what I had to say". No spiffs, guys?

The Antioch branch reported that the 710 notebook is overheating all the time and
keys just come off. But it loves the Ipaq.
