Compaq Armada M300 or HP Omnibook 6000?

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.compaq (More info?)

Not really, not a great difference.

Is the M300 too slow, are there things you can't run?

If you don't need the compute diference, don't spend the money!

Money isn't an object here at all. I would be aquiring it as an
ex-corporate laptop free of charge. Also, I do find the Graphics on my M300
a bit restricting when it comes to running a few games. Another question I
have is: The Omnibook is still on a Corporate Domain, with only a
"Power-User" username and password. I know the u/n and p/w for it, but if I
took it off the Domain to use on my home network workgroup, I would need to
know the administrators account u/n and p/w. Any way of finding out what
they are, and changing them? And what is the difference between a "Power
User" and an Admin account?
