The Compaq 700 series, launched in the late 1990s, represented an innovative leap in portable computing. As a part of Compaq's continued efforts to cater to both business and personal users, this series managed to strike a balance between performance, design, and reliability.

One of the standout features of the Compaq 700 was its robust build quality.
