COMPAQ has managed to stay among the leaders of the notebook market by offering a wide range of machines in this category.
The Compaq LTE Elite series is the premier collection in the range.
Simon Hong, marketing manager for Compaq Computer Hong Kong, said: ''When one considers the LTE Elite range, what immediately strikes a user is the high performance, easy upgradeability and innovation.
''And when you talk about innovation, the single most striking feature of this range of notebooks is how we have made it even more compact and reduced the total carrying weight by offering totally integrated, built-in A/C adapters.
''By doing away with the cumbersome and heavy A/C adapters, we have managed to instantly grab the attention of notebook users.'' With the built-in adapters as standard, these notebooks weigh little more than three kilograms. Also, they have full motion-video-graphics capability using pre-installed Microsoft Video for Windows Runtime.
Another feature, which can be upgraded, is the removable hard disk. There is also an enhanced EasyPoint trackball of 12.7 mm in diameter for better feel.
Also included are power conservation capabilities with a hibernation mode to save power when idle; power is turned off in Windows or DOS environment to save battery life.
