HP Compaq nc6400 Review

Laptop Magazine takes a look at a business machine from HP, the HP Compaq nc6400.

For the indecisive among us, the nc6400 offers both a pointing stick with dedicated buttons and a trackpad below the notebook’s spacious, full-sized keyboard, proving that it is possible to please everyone. Above the keyboard sits a series of buttons devoted to HP’s Info Center, wireless on/off, presentation settings (which allow for quick display adjustments), and three volume buttons.

The keyboard and display are surrounded by rubber bumpers to prevent the display from getting tattooed by the keys over an extended period. The area below the keyboard is coated with HP’s in-mold lamination, making the surface highly resistant to the rubbing and scratches caused by prolonged use.

In the end the nc6400 grabs itself a rating of 4 out of 5, which is pretty good. The only things listed on the negative side of the board for this 14.1 inch business machine is that there is no HSDPA option yet, and the graphics take a toll on battery life.
