CNET Review: HP Compaq nc6400 Rating: 7.0/10
Though it's not a performance powerhouse, the HP Compaq nc6400 comes with enough speed, battery life, features, and design perks for the typical employee--at a lower price than some competitors.
It is one of the first laptops to be compatible with Cingular Wireless' UMTS/HSDPA-technology. For the notebook's WWAN connectivity to work, users must subscribe to an EDGE network or Cingular's 3G network.
The notebook, which weighs about 5.1 pounds, also has an Intel Core 2 Duo processors, WLAN and Bluetooth connectivity, a 14.1-inch screen and a privacy filter. The notebook PC is Windows Vista-compatible, though minor hardware upgrades might be necessary in order for full Vista features to work on it, according to HP specs. The laptop will most likely be a competitor to the Dell Latitude D620.
With good performance and a complete range of connectivity options, the new thin-and-light Latitude D620 will keep you in business when you're away from the desk, but its battery life is merely average.
