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 Business Notebook 6530b

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

...This is another notebook from the HP Compaq range that isn’t quite as small as their other ones. Yet still has enough portability for it to be called a notebook. Its basically a mini laptop that runs on windows vista so it lets you do anything you would normally do, in places you wouldn’t normally be able to do them with a full sized PC or laptop. One of the greatest things about this notebook is that the keyboard is actually full sized. If you’ve ever been on an Eee PC for a while you’ll know that it can get a bit frustrating after a while of typing. However with this particular model the keypad is spread out right across the length of the notebook meaning they have actually been able to make a full sized keypad out of it. This basically means you’ll be able to type just as well as you would on any...

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 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...

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 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 6720s

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 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...

The notebook with laptop capabilities

Advantages: almost full sized keyboard
Disadvantages: battery life lets it down a bit

...programs was really fast too. Also the capability to upgrade to a possible 8gb of ram is there. I’m not too sure if this would do it that much good though as the Intel Core 2 Duo T5870 processor probably couldn’t cope with it so you’d probably be better loading it to 4gb of ram at the most. 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 best thing about this over other notebooks is that the keypad is almost...
