I am writing this review to inform the good people that good things in life can come cheap, my n600c is the best purchase of my life so far.
As i got this laptop for about 80 pounds i decided to upgrade it with some more RAM at the moment im running an Intel Pentium III m and Microsoft XP with 767mb RAM. the total cost of this laptop with upgrades was 110 pounds, considering this has nearly 1GB of RAM it is perfect for browsing the web and is very well at doing basic functions, Browsing the web is very fast and with the right browser and settings multi tasking is very good considering it has a singular core.
The speed for the specs overall is good, the sound and video card are not spectacular but obviously can still play music and video at a basic level (youtube, itunes etc) it is great for going anywhere, its relatively small and quite light at about 1.3kg and the battery life is around 3 hours, i know mine has been changed before purchase though.
it looks very good and although its getting on its style is still quite modern, mine did have a few surface scratches when purchased but these seem to have been caused y a knife or something similar, The keyboard is very nice and there is 2 options for the mouse; the bobble and the touchpad. It has a few buttons which only work with windows 2000 but these are merely for show in my case. the keys and buttons are well positions making for quite ergonomic, for the price i wouldn't expect much more from it
As for robustness i haven't really tried breaking it, but it hasn't broken so far, everything on it has quite a strong feeling quality and the plastic outer is very nicely textured, although mine has one surface scratch this seems to have been caused by a knife i rated it at 4 because i cant really comment,
The value for money on these laptops is pretty good, if you want a basic laptop for travel or just for word processing off line this is for you, its worth looking around for a good price because although when i was looking on ebay these were about 160 i found this refurbished one for a fraction of the price, this is a great buy and i highly recommend it, i also recommend if bought to upgrade if you know how, because upgrading is well worth the price,
Advantages: Durable, loads of fixes on the hp site, quite nifty for its age Disadvantages: just getting on a bit
...to my review of the Compaq Evo N600c.
Please look for my video review which should be up in the next few days or so.
This item isnt available new, but is well worth a purchase second hand. As with all my reviews, items are used in the most demanding places around the world, they dont always survive, but this little baby has done me proud.
Without any replacement parts (Not even a battery!) it has survived in several continents and in extreme temperatures ... ...a hard wearing reliable laptop that can easily kick the rear end out of even the newest of models.
Its construction is fantastic, meaning that even when dropped, it usually survives! All bits and bobs can be pulled out and replaced with ease, i.e. the DVD can be removed, and replaced with a floppy, the Hard disk can be removed without removing the chasis etc etc.
With a simple cooling system (As in one way) cleaning the gunk out of the cooling ...

Advantages: Medium weight, wireless enabled and well equiped for office workers needing wireless connectivity Disadvantages: Available only in black case, does not have a floppy drive or DVD writer, no firewire connectivity
I have been using this laptop for the past 2 and half years and it is quite good serving my purpose. I use my laptop for my leisure time at home. I use it for downloading stuff from the internet and it is quite fast. I have a wireless card attached it to connect to the wireless network in my house. The speed is quite good. I use it basically for making Office presentations and writing word documents. I also use it for browsing and surfing. I am not ... ...during the evenings and during the weekends. I store my digital photos in this. Absence of firewire is a great problem with this laptop. It also does not have any portable external drives. So I cannot write my cds or dvds. I get my leisure work done on this laptop and also I hear to music and it has good high quality audio by downloading songs from the internet. It has a stylish looking square black case, with 2 inch wide silver module on the lid ...

Advantages: Lightweight. Ideal for travel. Good battery life, Good speed, Complete Black body Disadvantages: No CD/DVD writer, No built in firewire port, External floppy drive has to be purchased
Evo N600c has been my friend for the past one year and three months. I use it everyday as I work from home. I use it while travelling on train to my work place once in a while. It is lightweight and ideal for travel. It has good battery life. I have not personally faced any problems with this laptop except the fact that it generates a lot of heat.
It cost me £400 to get this laptop, which we got from a friend.
It weighs 2.5 kgs and it has a width ... ...in Black color. (Since I am used to a black Laptop, my next choice would be silver). It is quite elegant.
Basically being a web developer, I have to run a lot of softwares (dreamweaver, sql server, ) and I find it quite fast to use my system while using all these are running simultaneously. Rarely I get the Windows virtual memory problem when I run many software simultaneously. My laptop Specifications:
Processor - Intel Pentium III-M 1 GHz
