Compaq Notebooks

They suck in my opinion. My first laptop was a Compaq Persario and I had a few problems that turned major. The backlight went out on it within the 1st year, but that was easily fixed. However the ac adapter kept burning. I went through about 10 adapters before the Geek Squad finally realized that this was dangerous. I remember getting a replacement adapter and using it for all of 10 seconds when it stopped working. I tried to take it out and burnt myself in the process. Since being in college I have encountered others with the same problem. One young lady has to make sure her laptop is adjusted in a certain way otherwise the adapter won't work. The sad part about this whole thing is that Compaq won't do anything after the warranty is out even if the problem could kill you.
