Advantages: Authentic businesslike looks, lots of inbuilt luxuries, relatively large screen, large memory.
Disadvantages: Over-priced, low graphics capabilities.

Compact and neatly organized (Dimensions: 33.1 cm x 24.3 cm x 3.4 cm) it is excellent for both home use and professional or business work. The keyboard is of standard size, although the 14" TFT screen also supports wide screen (with a screen resolution of 1280 x 800). The portability is superb, with a relatively low weight of 2.4 kg for a laptop with this screen size the exterior is of a classically 'businesslike' design and looks comfortable in ...
...GB - Serial ATA-150 - 5400 rpm hard drive makes for an impressive amount of disk storage and allows for a large 1GB of RAM. The Intel Core 2 Duo T7100 / 1.8 GHz ( Dual-Core ) processor used also means that this laptop is of impressive speed and power - however, I do find the noise of the processor's cooling fan annoying at times. This laptop however is not built for gaming with only an Intel GMA X3100 graphics card, watching movies or online video ... Read review

Advantages: lightweight, reliable
Disadvantages: Mouse control

I have used this laptop for many years now as my work laptop, I have had absolutely to problems with reliability, or ease of use. The only downside I find is that the mouse control is dreadful, but as I connect a proper mouse to it thankfully I havent had to use it too much. So from a reliability point of view, its been switched on at least 40 hours every week of the year and it just keeps chugging along. Screen quality is clear for the age of ...
...but quite capable for day to day activities of word, excel, info explorer etc. Standard Processor is the Intel Pentium 1.4ghz, with 256Ram installed, although my work laptop has had the memory doubled, apparently to help XP process. Standard battery should last 6 hours on a full charge. 40GB IDE hard drive is included, with a weight of only 4.9 lbs is not the heaviest on the market. The measurements are (W x D x H)-- 12.1 in x 9.8 in x 1.2 in Other ... Read review

Advantages: Good spec, excellent value, nice looking.
Disadvantages: Some minor niggles, spec could be better.

...this review on my new hp Compaq nx9005 laptop which I'm well pleased with. I settled on this laptop after a fair bit of research into laptops at around the £800 mark. I was very impressed with this machine's specs and also the excellent reviews I'd read of it. I picked it up on the brilliant ebuyer.com for the bargain price of around £810. SPECIFICATIONS Processor: AMD Athlon XP-Mobile 2400+, a great processor which has the distinct advantage of ...
...closed, there is a large hp logo on the back of the screen. This is one area in which the plastic feels a little flimsy but otherwise it feels pretty solid. The screen is opened by the usual sliding catch on the front. It is quite weighty but not prohibitively so. Its about standard for a fully featured 14" screen model I guess. When open, you're presented with the large matt black screen and little else on the top half. On the bottom, the speakers ... Read review

Advantages: Low price- or should be by now.
Disadvantages: Not state of the art, but why should it be?

...machine after all. I mailed HP asking what the maximum hard disk size the XE2 will take. It has only tested drives up to 6Gb but believes the BIOS will allow up to 10Gb but won’t guarantee it will work. so if I upgrade I’ll make sure I can return the drive if it won’t work. The XE2 has all the usual ports most of us expect, sadly it has only one PCMCIA and USB port, however, having an integrated modem most people will get by well ...
...utility is available from the HP site to facilitate this but seems a little brutal. I would respectfully suggest running the battery down fully in Windows then boot from a bootable floppy i.e. emergency start-up disk and leave the machine until it cuts off on its own. By all means use the HP utility but try to make sure the battery is in a low state of charge first--- it does get hot using this utility. Running time depends on many factors with ... Read review

Advantages: Wide range of specificatons, Eaily Upgradable, Good battery life
Disadvantages: Produces a LOT of heat, dated design

The compaq Evo N610c is now an aging machine but still manages to handle the everyday tasks of a home-user or light business user. Compaq have developed a solid base system in this laptop which has multiple configuration options so that it can adapt to the needs of most users. Intel\'s P4 Mobile processors are utilised throughout this series and produces a longer battery life by only running at the speed needed to run the active programs. Options ...
...RAM upto 1Gb (PC2700) and docking station. On top of the configurable base system there are many external sockets to enable further peripherals and upgrades to be added. (2x USB Sockets, 2x PCMCIA Slots, VGA Out, Parallel Socket, Com Port, TV out socket, Ps/2 Socket, Headphones and Mic Socket). The optional docking station enables even further expansion by adding further sockets still. The screens used on the N610 range are top quality units and ... Read review
