    Perhaps purchasing some accidental coverage wouldn't be a bad idea if you are accident prone.

    These notebooks are prett solidly built. Just be careful with as you should any notebook. I would recommend taking a look at www.notebookanalysis.com. This is a forum that has information solely on the Compaq R4000 and its twin, the HP zv6000. Good luck!

    Well, as the former owner of a HP zv6000 (the Compaq's twin) and a teenager myself, I would avoid eating or drinking near the notebook (I almost spilled water on the keyboard once), and be careful with the latch - if you open and close the notebook too vigorously, you may damage it, causing it to stick.

    Also, don't put anything on top of the display when it is closed - that can cause screen damage and cracks. This is especially important if you have cats. :p

    Don't block the fans from intaking air, no magnets anywhere the notebook, and unplug it when you turn it off or go away - don't want to get a power surge. ;)

    Cheers,
