HP Compaq NX6125 Review
Pocket-lint has a review up of the HP Compaq NX6125, I still think the name sounds like a spaceship name.
Related Posts:HP may be one of the largest suppliers of notebooks in the world, after Dell it’s ranked second worldwide, so why do their machines lack that “must have” factor of the likes of Sony and Apple? For the main part, HP works to the keep-it-simple approach and just take care of business.
Which segues neatly with the arrival of the HP Compaq nx6125, which so clearly is taking care of business, users that is. This is the first Compaq to sport an AMD processor and it has taken the arrival of the Turion 64-bit processor to make an impression. Turion is being billed as the rival to Intel’s all-dominant Pentium M chip and while we’ve yet to see any real battery gains from the Turion, the use of 64-bit processing means its more than powerful enough for notebook use.
At this price point you find the Turion 64 ML-30 CPU running at 1.6GHz and is complemented by 512MB DDR SDRAM and a Seagate 60GB hard drive with a 5400rpm rotational speed. As a base specification this isn’t too bad but if you consider that the nx6125 has a list price of £645 (inc. VAT) and suddenly you’re looking at something special. In use, we found that this notebook could more than handle daily tasks. If you want to edit a little video or audio, it’ll more than handle that too.
