The Compaq Presario R3000 is a series of laptops designed and built by Hewlett-Packard Corporation under the Compaq Presario brand. An equivalent model to the R3000 was the HP Pavilion nx9100 series.
The computer is encased in a black and silver plastic shell, weighs about ten pounds, has two cooling fans mounted under the keyboard, as well as a 15-inch LCD screen. The series used Intel or AMD processors, and can be ordered with either 128 MB (128 MiB) or 2 GB (2 GiB) of RAM (with some being reserved for graphical memory), with 2 GB being the maximum amount of RAM. They came with either an ATI Mobility Radeon 9000/9100 or an Nvidia GeForce Go 4 integrated graphics chip. The integrated sound card was made by Analog Devices and outputs to built-in JBL Pro speakers that sit above the keyboard.
Certain configurations included an integrated Broadcom 54G wireless networking card. Connection ports include USB, Firewire, 3.5 mm audio output, 3.5 mm audio input, S-Video output, VGA output, and parallel.[1] One port that was special to this series (as well as other HP laptops of the time) is the proprietary expansion port for HP's Expansion Dock that allows an extra array of ports when the laptop is docked. Several optical media options were available including a standard DVD-ROM/CD-RW combo drive up to a DVD+RW/CD-RW drive at varying speeds.[2]
The Compaq Presario R3000 line of laptops primarily shipped with Windows XP preinstalled, however they can also be configured with either Windows 98, Windows 2000 Professional, or Windows Me preinstalled if the user ever chooses to do so.
