Advantages: portability
Disadvantages: price, amount of ram and hard drive

One thing HP Compaq are good at is making great laptops for business people. This clearly shows in this laptop as it incorporates everything a business man would need in a laptop. This laptop clearly isn’t the best looking laptop iv ever seen, but its not ugly. Its all in one colour, black, which in this case doesn’t make it look so horrible due to its nice square shape structure. There are so many things wrong with this design, yet ...

...website which requires a password. The laptop cannot be faulted in terms of its practicality, reliablity or style. However it is designed primarily as a high capabilty business laptop so it cannot handle very high end games that well. Overall its a very good laptop and if you are intending to play games of high graphics and processing power then this isnt the best laptop especially since most laptops arenot designed for gaming. ...

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.

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 ...

The measurements are (W x D x H)-- 12.1 in x 9.8 in x 1.2 in Other ... Read review

Advantages: Wide range of specificatons, Eaily Upgradable, Good battery life

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.
