    Hello, i have old Presario c300 with broken body (only the connector from the power supply that plugs into the back is broken)
    i was thinking to buy any cheap Presario laptop from ebay to change the connector or the entire body of my laptop.
    but when i was searching ebay, i have found that Presario c300 looks the same like V5000 and c500 !!!

    so i was wondering about what is the difference between Presario c300, V5000 and c500 ??
    just the three models looks like the same !!
    what is difference in the body and the hardware ??
    thank you

    From my experience is:
    I'd upgrade cpu to dual core 2/2 of the c300.
    Also upgrade cpu to ducal core 1/2 of the c500.
    Havn't tried the v5000, i think some are AMD socket 745 and not upgradeble. Also I think it's ddr instead of ddr2, comparing to the c300 and c500.
