Sensible but flawed - is this the laptop for me?

Advantages: processing, weight, features, customer service
Disadvantages: can't handle Vista, build quality, RAM upgrade required, just for businesses

...and photoshop at once while an anti-virus and torrent client runs in the background. If this sounds like you, you should consider plumping for a more powerful processor with higher RAM or at least buying another gig of RAM to be paired with this unit. Another slight concern exists in that the build quality really isn't first rate, even for the price. If you are travelling with it alot you must purchase a quality padded case and be careful with it. I have chipped the right hand lower lip after a small drop (you will drop it too, trust me!). All things considered, HP as a company make competitively priced laptops and this is no exception. It (just) delivers what it says on the box and with budget buying you can't argue with that. But please consider whether or not you really will only require basic functions before purchasing this as many of us...

HP Dual Core Business NoteBook Review

Advantages: lite, durable, fast processing speeds, good for daily business use
Disadvantages: RAM is low for todays business needs.

...Its a core Duo processor which means its has 2x 1.6 GHz processors inside it giving you more than enough power to run even the best of 3D professional applications or soft wares. Best is the Duo technology that comprises efforts of 2 processors rather than piling all onto just one which also improves performance and keeps the actual processors cooler as they have to do less calculations between them. Two heads are better than one. The battery time of 4.5 hours is also a standard amongst most laptops note that this means of 4.5 hours of actual usage not say if you leave the Notebook on sleep mode in between. 1 GB of RAM is very good on a business oriented Notebook and means you can be using all or most of your daily business applications all at once. A 15.4 inch TFT display means you don't have the glare of a CRT monitor but...

Save money on this HP!

Advantages: Decent storage, attracts ,
Disadvantages: no wrist rest

...Well, where do I start. I can talk all day about this laptop, both about the critisism and strong points. But to avoid your boredom I wish to cut it short. Firstly, The looks is more than attractive. Its light, its stylish and its slim. What more do you want from a laptop which is already lighther than your average computer. The silver cleverly matches with the black and you wont be unimpressed with the keyboard buttons either. However, I wasnt too happy by the positioning of the keyboard. It appears to hurt your wrists because there is no resting place for it. Unless of course you dont mind typing all day without comfort. As for the functions, it isnt the fastest latop ever but yet it works well if you dont jam it with a lot of files. Use it to a limit, is what I'd say. It is defintely medium speed so its not the slowest...

Experience of having business series

Advantages: Solid construction, broad features
Disadvantages: failed to provide better graphics memory

...Experience of having business series, why? lets have a look on some description. Here is some my experience and suggestions about a popular product from hp. HP is a old player in notebook market and best competitor for Apple Macbook. Some time ago the most popular product from hp in business series was its 6710, and now again a upgraded version of that in market. It is more complicated to survive in portable computer market with old configurations. So that having strong ambition toward creating better well known brand in the field, hp again put its most effort to give a latest technology and configuration to its customers. As I have described in my previous Dell laptops reviews that they have well known service to give a chance to its customers of selecting desired configurations. It is most desirable and customer friendly...

Fort knox security, in a notebook.

Advantages: Amazing security, durability, fuction, price and design.
Disadvantages: none

...I have just recently bought this notebook and have to give it a resounding thumbs up. It is definately a cut above in terms of design, function, security and price! The first thing I noticed when I took at out the box was design. The notebook looks really cool in shape, colour and design. It is also quite light and thin, with a width of 14.1 in, a depth of 10.5 in, a height of 1.3 in and weighing in at 5.5 lbs. The notebook is also quite durable, it doesn't scratch easily and bumbs have no effect on design or function. It also has a nifty feature called HP 3D drive guard; I'm not entirely sure of the science of how this works but basically it prevents serious bangs from damaging your hard drive. This notebook has security worthy of NASA. With a range of features designed to keep your data safe such as drive incription...

HP Compaq Business Notebook 6530b

Advantages: its fast, stylish and very portable
Disadvantages: could be smaller for portability

...day. Another great thing about this is the sheer size of the storage space inside. The Eee PC hardly had any on the basic model and so carrying about a spare memory stick was pretty much essential. This Hp Business Compaq will certainly not require any more space though as its got a impressive 160 gb already built in. The small size of the notebook isn’t sacrificing speeds either as it will still reach 5400 rpm, the average of the normal sized laptops too. The screen size isn’t that small either, so its not limiting your workability. It offers a 14.1 TFT display and is a good quality screen with a good 1280 x 800 resolution. The only thing that let down some of HP’s other notebooks was the battery life, however this one doesn’t at all. It offers a fantastic 6.25 hours which is well up there with some...

It is cool!

Advantages: Ability to recover to initial factory settings, durable and easy to use
Disadvantages: It comes with windows vista

...I bought a HP Compaq Buisness Notebook 6720 (GR647EA) from a HP partner two months ago. He gave me the Laptop without the recovery discs. I found it strange because the laptops I had used came with discs. I requested for them and he informed me that it has inbuilt back up and recovery. For two reasons - wrong configuration of keyboard and download of an update incompatible with microsoft office - I had to perform full system recovery twice. Each time the full factory image/settings was recovered and I did not miss a thing. This thrilled me because the last laptop (a different brand) I used, the full factory image/settings was not recovered when I had to format it. It came with a trial version of microsoft office 2007 (I did not need to buy MS office for a while), a sixty subscription of Norton Virus and windows vista which can be...

...Well this laptop Truly is Business Power at a Budget! Please bear this in mind: I Manage several PC Superstores and test pretty much every laptop I wish to.

Review of HP Compaq Business Notebook 6720s

No qualms whatsoever!

Advantages: Very fast and efficient, easy setup
Disadvantages: 160 Gb not enough i feel

...This is an excellent all-round computer that can be used for more than just business use. This is because its equipped with the latest Intel Core 2 Duo laptop processor that allows you to carry out your tasks quickly and efficiently. The 160 GB hard drive is a handy aid in achieving this and i would personally require more as i have a lot of games and songs to store, but then thats what a portable hard drive is for! Look and feel The 15.4 inch screen comes in two different styles, the anti-glare or HP Brightview displays. BrightView improves the brightness, contrast and clarity of your notebook's screen. The notebook itself is a stylish black machine that weighs only 2.49 kg to make it operate effectively as a wireless machine. The optional DVD+/-RW SuperMulti DL LightScribe drive makes your storage media stand...
