When the Compaq Evo n800c laptop debuted in 2002 it became an immediate success. Stephens Institute of Technology gave one to every incoming student, many hospitals gave them to doctors to carry around and businesses everywhere were on top of this trend, buying the Compaq n800c for their office workers.

But soon, users realized their system may not be as worth the money as they thought when newer, cheaper models began to show up on the market. The systems aren't as fast as the other Pentium 4 models in the same price range. The Compaq Evo n800c wireless capability works great but weight--6.7-7.5 pounds with accessories--is slightly uncomfortable.

If you need to upgrade, or replace, your Compaq laptop:

1. Buy a new or used Compaq Evo n800 laptop and upgrade it yourself, making it more modern for a cheaper price.

2. Choose another Compaq or Hewlett-Packard business computer in place of the Evo n800c laptop.

3. Purchase another brand--other than HP or Compaq--in the same price range as the Evo n800c.




Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Compare the new, used or refurbished Compaq n800c specs and purchase computers online


Compaq Evo n800c models come with up to 1GB RAM, a DVD/CD-RW combo drive and a battery that lasts 2 to 3 hours. One of the first computers to come standard with USB 2.0, the Evo n800c is a great option for business professionals who want a standard used computer for a lower price than its newer companions.

I recommend: Look over the specifications. If you decide to purchase this computer, search online at large retail websites such as eBay and Amazon. Browse computer retailers like Super Warehouse, USA Notebook.com and Used Laptops.com for new and used Compaq Evo n800c laptop models.

Upgrade your Compaq Evo n800c and make it more current for your small business


Purchase a new Compaq Evo n800c battery, AC adapter, memory card, sound card, video card or hard drive, to update your current Compaq laptop. You can customize your notebook with the features you need for your business. Install Compaq Evo n800c driver and update packages to keep your computer working smoothly and up-to-date.

I recommend: Read your Compaq Evo n800c manual and troubleshooting guides to fix your computer's small problems. Purchase new batteries and adapters from NexTag and Apex Battery to keep your computer usable at the office or on the go. Add Compaq notebook-compatible memory to make your laptop run faster with your business multi-tasking.

Choose accessories for your Compaq n800c laptop


Along with installing a new Compaq Evo n800 battery and hard drive, consider new external accessories to make your work a little easier. Choose accessories to carry your laptop with you and run a business wherever you need to go.

I recommend: Search for carrying cases and travel kits to keep you organized and make sure your Compaq Evo n800c is safe. Find projectors, external keyboards and speakers or headsets and other equipment for your business meetings, and consider a new HP printer to keep on top of all your growing printing needs.

Give your business an edge over the competition-add new software to your Compaq


As a small business you need certain software to keep up with the larger companies in your field. This software can range from basic word processing to human resources and payroll organization and design suites. Choose the latest editions and best programs you can afford to stay on top in your field.

I recommend: Install Microsoft XP Professional onto your Compaq Evo n800c computer. Vista is too complex for your processing system and lacks support. For your basic business needs make sure you have Microsoft Office Small Business--using the industry standard will help you communicate better with clients and colleagues. Use Adobe Acrobat to create, view and update PDFs. And, of course make sure to use a strong computer protection program like McAfee.

Review, compare and purchase other laptops similar to the Compaq n800c online


If you decide not to purchase a Compaq Evo n800c notebook, choose another computer similar in price and performance. Buy a laptop from Hewlett-Packard or Compaq, or search for another brand, depending on your business needs.

I recommend: Browse online for Compaq or HP notebook computers. These are the systems that replaced the Evo n800c laptop and come with the same great customer service and performance. Consider other options such as Dell, Gateway and Apple laptops, which are alike in performance and features. The prices are similar to slightly higher than the Evo n800c.
