HP Compaq nx9420 Review

Laptop Magazine reviews the Compaq nx9420 from HP, a 17 inch widescreen notebook, under 8 lbs.

HP’s Compaq nx9420 is designed for professionals who require a large display, top-notch security, and mobility around the office. Thanks to a powerful dual-core processor and souped-up graphics, this desktop replacement tackles any task. At a surprisingly light 7.4 pounds, the nx9420 might even make it home a few times a week.

The 17-inch widescreen is stunning, assuring that you’ll never have to squint when plowing through spreadsheets or watching a DVD. The full-sized keyboard and numeric keypad worked quite well in our tests. However, the placement of the fingerprint reader between the touchpad buttons creates an awkward separation while making the buttons themselves too small.

The $2,399 USD desktop replacement earns a nice four out of five on their rating scale, being docked the final point due to the small touchpad buttons and minimal software that is included.
