Compaq Armada 7800

Compaq Armada 7800

The Aramda 7800 was a Pentium II-based desktop replacement laptop, released by Compaq in 1998. They succeeded the 7700 Series, and shared a similar design to the 7790 and 7792, only in a black case instead of beige.

They are one of only a few laptops I'm aware of to use S3 graphics, and supposedly the first laptop with AGP graphics.
