Are the Compaq Armada 7800 & 7400 the ultimate MS-DOS retrogaming laptops? With ESS Audiodrive, General MIDI hardware wavetable, and S3 Virge graphics, they have everything retro gamers dream of. But is the Pentium 2 processor a hidden advantage or a dealbreaker?
Let’s put these vintage powerhouses to the test and find out if they deserve the title of “Dream Machines” for DOS gaming!
ThePentium 2 CPU is not ideal for speed sensitive games designed for older 386 and 486. while late DOS era titles might be too demanding for these Armadas.
However, both the armada 7800 and 7400 are great choices for 286 games. and also well-suited for games released between 1995 and 1997.
Choosing between them, the decision ultimately comes down to the form factor preference or availability.
I'm giving them an RB score of 3.5
