I took this laptop in Oct 2007 at a price of 28K from Hyd CTC. The laptop has been working fine till date... Although it did not contain any software, so I had to put Windows XP in it. It did give me some trouble in the beginning with the software part.
But never had any hardware problems. Once I downloaded a good quality OS the system did not give me any trouble after that. As far as service is concerned it sucks. I went to a few service stations in India but all of them suck. No one was willing to help. they just want to do their job. They dont really care what the customer wants and weather they are giving their best to the customer.
Otherwise laptop is fine and its working great... especially the graphics are amazing I have a latest Dell Latitude now.. But still no one can beat the Compaq when it comes to clarity and graphics... I just love it..
