There really ain't no problems with even the cheapest Presarios for most home users. The only problems I've seen with any so-called substandard configurations come in when people try to turn their box into an upgradable set of components (ala Micron XRU, or higher end Dell machines). Frankly, most home consumers don't go that route, except when they purchase video or 3-d cards for their game-playing kids.

Compaq's notebook problems, as I see them, stemmed from their inability to use components from other manufacturers. Some of the models actually required a Compaq-made modem, if memory serves. But I don't believe their current models suffer from this problem, either.
