The Compaq Presario R3000 is a series of laptops designed and built by Hewlett-Packard Corporation under the Compaq Presario brand.
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 expansion port for HP's Expansion Dock that allows an extra array of ports when the laptop is docked, as well as an option for a hard drive. 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]
