nc6120- HP or not HP that is the question

Advantages: Lightweight, numerous ports, large hard drive, fast, dvd-rw drive, useful
Disadvantages: no on/off button for touchpad, no floppy drive

...have recently upgraded my primary laptop to a hp nc6120. So far I think it is fantastic.I have had no problems whatsoever so far which is good in computer years as I have already owned it for almost 5 months! That includes no stupid error messages or go slows due to greedy programs eating into memory even though I have the dreaded Micro$oft windows XP running on it, no core meltdowns of the cpu due to insufficient heat sinks as I have had with so many other makes and models of laptop, and no problems running any hardware or software on it yet as far as I know. The Laptop is only thin as it is built to be streamlined and lightweight for cutting edge business technology, I'd say about an inch or so thickness, which makes my slighlty older ones look quite a lot like bricks! It is only light, and I have no problems carrying it 2.5 miles to...

Review of HP Compaq Business Notebook Nc6120

A Workhorse of Laptops

Advantages: Fantastic Battery life and lots of features
Disadvantages: No Floppy Drive or PS/2 slot

...I use a laptop rather than a desktop PC at work as I need to move around from site to site. Therefore any laptop I use must offer me the same features of a desktop PC but obviously the additional benefits of a laptop. The HP Compaq nc6120 is a business laptop with a no frills design but all the features you would come to expect for business use. The main areas I consider when purchasing a laptop are, • Features • Battery Life • Cost!! The nc6120 comes in a number of derivatives and prices vary from around £700 to £1,100 depending on what you go for. It is a sensible no frills laptop that is dark grey in colour with no garish add-ons which in my opinion is a good thing. A previous laptop I owned had flashing blue neon lights everywhere which was novel to start with but the novelty soon wore off!! My nc6120...

HP NC6220 Business Laptop

Advantages: Slimline, many different options and room for expansion
Disadvantages: not too many, mainly the price issue

...only about £20 price difference or so. It is possible to have more than one optical drive, as there are two spare drive bays. Audio ------------------------------------------------------ There is a HP Premier sound card in the system. It is 16 bit and it comes with internal spoeakers and microphone. There is also an external volume button, and mute button, and there are the usual input/output sound ports. The microphone works well by the way, because I like to set up the voice recognition software on all systems, because my colleagues have long essay type documents to write frequently, and to save time, I always recommend using the voice recognition dictation tool. I have configured the laptop to use both the integrated microphone as well as a plugged in external microphone as it can give more clarity, because if you are typing as...

Review of HP Compaq Business Notebook Nc6220

Who needs a desktop

Advantages: light, good battery life
Disadvantages: poor docking solution

...generally much slower than desktop ones which spin at 7200 or even 1000rpm. Older laptops have generally had 4000rpm hard disks, with the NC6120 HP have finally introduced the slightly faster 5400rpm drive. Basically the faster the platter inside the hard disk can spin, the faster data can be read off of it. With increased speed tends to come increased power consumption and heat generation so laptop drives are generally slower. 512MB RAM, this was a single stick, with one spare slot. I shoved another 1GB in and am running at 1.5GB, to upgrade further would dump the supplied memory. Docking Station -------------------- HPs docking solution seems to have gone a bit wrong though. You firstly have to buy a stand thing that angles the laptop and raises it so the screen is higher and then you have to buy a port replicator thing that's part...

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...

HP Compaq Business Notebook Nx6125

Advantages: small, light, inexpensive, fingerprint sensor
Disadvantages: 512mb RAM with 128 of that devoted to graphics card, no infrared

...Laptops are a pretty boring subject to write a review about. We all know what they do, so what makes this one special. Well first let me quickly run through the specs so that you know what we're dealing with here. It weighs in at just under 3kg which is not bad at all for a laptop/notebook. Mind you HP call it a notebook which I would disagree with. There are Sony VIAO's out there that are real notebooks. This baby however is bigger than what I could consider to be a notebook so I'm going to refer to it as a laptop. I do a fair amount of travel on business and this machine is just about right for long distance travel to far away countries. The last thing you want is to lug around a fat heavy laptop along with your luggage at airports. It comes with a standard 15 TFT screen capable of supporting a max 1600x1200 resolution...

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...

Review of HP Compaq Business Notebook 6510b

Business class notebook.

Advantages: Fast, clear display, good keyboard feel ( very well placed keys ), fine data protection
Disadvantages: HP programs are useless, looping, freezing regardless of OS, poor materials

...'t join the fighting that XP or Vista is the better one, I rely on experience. This machine just runs better with XP. Altough it's a business notebook, considering the parts it's made of, it's an all-round machine, good processor, dedicated video card, etc. I actually use it for writing, music production, programming and gaming. Most games runs fine ( on low graphics ), I've played Burnout Paradise and It was quite satisfactory. Cubase, Reason, and Adobe Audition worked fine.. BUT There's three problems I came across, which if I know earlier, I wouldn't have bought this notebook. 1. The chassis is quite rigid, but the display cannot be closed entirely. There is no lock to hold it there. It never opened by itself, but moves a bit. And the upper side of the notebook is just not rigid enough, it moves, you can push it like a car's bonnet. 2...
