HP Compaq nx7300 - Good for business

Advantages: Great overall build quality, great screen, it's fast enough for you old man
Disadvantages: Not much memory, dull looks aren't going to wow the ladies (never stopped me!)

...I've recently been able to test this laptop as my stepdad has received one through his work. It's the first time I have seen an HP/Compaq laptop, but I've used many other brands so I'll be mainly using them as a comparison. At first glance, the laptop has a very ordinary design, but when you pick it up you quickly appreciate the build quality. It is quite light, and yet very sturdy, and feels like it could happily take a few knocks ( lucky as my stepdad has a short temper!! ). I also really like the keyboard, it feels great to type on and there is no "give" like my own current laptop ( an Acer Ferrari ). The touchpad feels ok but I've never been a big fan of these, so I think I'd stick to my trusty mouse. One thing I was really impressed with is the screen. Although the resolution isn't great for the 15.4" screen, the brightness...

HP Compaq NX6325

Advantages: Excellent value for money
Disadvantages: Doesn't come with installation discs, I've had issues with WLAN

...When I finally decided to swap my bulky, faulty PC for a sleek new laptop, I made it my mission to find a decent model that didn't cost the Earth. As all the high street entry-level laptops I looked at came with £399 price tags and generally left something to be desired, I decided to look online and came across this little beauty. The HP Compaq NX6325 set me back £397 at shoplaptop.co.uk (plus delivery and a smart Belkin carrying case). Although prices seem to have fallen in the 4 months since I bought it, I think this is good value for money and technical stats-wise one of the best laptops you can buy for under £400. Don't necessarily let the "Business" bit in the title put you off - this is a brilliant computer for personal use as well, and is a cut above what most retailers offer in a similar price range. I have been using it...

HP Compaq Business Notebook Nx6125

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

...with 32-bit colour. No antiglare filter but the screen is actually quite bright and apart from when used in direct sunlight I've not had a problem reading it. It uses the AMD 64bit Turion processor which is unusual for HP/Compaq as they have only ever used Intel in the past. In fact I'm pretty certain this is the first time they've gone for AMD. Its probably one of the reasons why its cheap (£650) and the reason why you get rather good performance from it. I'll come to that later. By the way if you look at the specs that I'm listing and compare them with the specs listed for this machine in the CIAO pages you'll find a number of major differences. e.g. CIAO show this as using the 3100+ Sempron processor which is different to my machine) I'm not sure if CIAO have got the wrong specs or whether there are a number of versions of this...

HP Compaq nx6110

Advantages: small and lightweight
Disadvantages: Overheats & power adapter melts into motherboard, HP has very poor customer service

...After 9 months of using my nx6110 laptop, the power cord melted into the system board and I lost the ability to charge the laptop. It was still under warranty, repair went fine through HP until exactly nine months after it was fixed, the EXACT same problem happened AGAIN. Warranty had expired and HP customer service told me "buy a new laptop because it is approximately the same as the cost to replace the system board again!!!!! So I only recommend purchasing this laptop if you want to have the same problem repaired every nine months. I contacted HP over 23 times yet received no assistance, apology or help. Additionally, the nx6110 batteries were recalled due to "overheating" yet they stated my battery was "fine" and again refused to stand behind their faulty product. My experience has been so bad that I will NEVER purchase any HP...

HP Compaq Notebook Nx6110

Advantages: Has everything you have
Disadvantages: some may not like the colour

...The HP Compaq nx6110 Notebook is with useful it is good for taking around, and at the price of £450 - 550, it is a very reasonable. It can also be connected to the internet on the move using a mobile phone. It is very well designed and you can basically run your life from this if you wanted too there are so many features you can add to laptops now. It has a very nice design a slick black for that professional edge. You can use these casually for university or business; everybody will be looking at you and wondering what you're doing on it.

HP Compaq Business Notebook nx6325

Advantages: A powerful machine for your work needs
Disadvantages: Will most likely need an extra harddrive

...The HP Compaq Business Notebook nx6325 is built to a very high standard as you would expect from a HP machine. It security features make it an ideal machine for business use, especially having the biometric scanner although I have personally that it can take a couple of attempts for the machine to verify you, which a slight irritation but not so much as to warrant you not purchasing this machine. The security features incorporated into the machine does ensure that any sensitive files you need to have will be suitably protected by multiple password protections to ensure that no-one can accidentally access them. The machines processor is more than capable of running complex spreadsheets and databases without the machine itself slowing down. To test the capability of the processer I tried streaming High Definition video to my home...

NX9020 HP COMPAQ Notebook

Advantages: Good battery life, easy to type,
Disadvantages: Quite heavy, tends to freeze up.

...It seems that other Ciao users have had poor experiences with the Compaq NX9020, but i decided to wait until i'd used it for a while before throwing my hat into the ring. I bought the laptop on Ebay for around 180 pounds a year ago, as it has been discontinued this is the most likely place to pick one up, i just wanted something for internet access, music downloading, university work and taking it into Lectures It has a 1.4 GHz processor with a 60 GB hard drive and 256M RAM, DVD-RW drive, TouchPad mouse and 2 USB ports, and runs on Windows XP. I've found the laptop very suitable for my needs, it runs DVDs well, has excellent quality sound and runs multiple windows with ease, however if several memory-heavy programs are running simultaneously it can slow down or freeze altogether. Battery life was originally around 90 minutes...

HP Compaq nx6110 - Good Value Slim Laptop

Advantages: Good list of features, slim, light and good value!
Disadvantages: No DVD-RW drive, no floppy, no volume keys, little software included.

...Firstly I'd like to say that this is my works laptop so it is used daily for many hours a day. All that time it has been totally reliable! I have had this laptop for little over a month now. First impressions is that it looks very expensive and with all the equipment it has it is very slim and light. The quality as with most HP laptops is very good, it has a very nice black finish to it, however this can look greasy after use from sweaty palms. The display - The display on the whole is very good. It can be seen very well from all angles. It is sharp and displays the colours well. The brightness can be changed from the keyboard. The in between setting is just right. The screen has a maximum resolution of 1024 x 768 @ 24 bit colour, which is about right on a 15" TFT. One thing to note, the screen had NO dead pixels. In past...

HP NX9005 -Great Value, Highly Functional Notebook

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

...INTRODUCTION Well I'm sitting here writing 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 being designed for laptops. Thus it is cooler and less power-hungry than its desktop counterparts. This helps the laptop reach an excellent running time on battery of around 4hrs with light use. Memory: 256mb DDR Ram, which is more than adequate for most tasks. Unfortunately 64mb of this is shared as video memory so this is something that...

HP/Compaq nx9010- Not brilliant, but satisfactory

Advantages: Affordable
Disadvantages: Heavy

...will phone HP Tech Support and query this. Even at 1024, the text and graphics are not as crisp as they should be, in my opinion and comparing the same images on my old Dell. I have turned off font-smoothing (significant difference!), and updated the video drivers (more improvement), but its not as clear as it should be. Additionally, there is n o function to adjust the contrast of the screen. Brightness, yes. Contrast, no. Not good. Speed: Its slow. Granted, it is a Celeron processor, but this 2.8 GHz machine still runs slower than my old Dell with 0.8 GHz P3 processor and half the RAM. Additionally, I went online and discovered that the hard-drive speed is only 4200 rpm! I need to take this up with the shop I bought it from - they should have mentioned this! However, in their defence, Dell's Inspiron models also come with 4200...
