HP Compaq nc8430 - PC Mag
PC Magazine have posted their review of the HP Compaq nc8430 business laptop. 'The HP Compaq nc8430 ($1,680 direct) has a lot of stature for a business laptop. When it comes to meeting work deadlines and taking on various projects, this powerhouse lives up to its reputation. The 15.4-inch widescreen display is a compelling reason to go with the nc8430. It lets you have three windows open at the same time (arranged so that each gets its own space) or gain several more columns on an Excel worksheet. If that isn't enough to meet your business requirements, then check out the system's Intel Core 2 Duo processor and discrete graphics.
The Compaq nc8430 isn't as much of a space hog as a desktop, but it does give you plenty of screen space for a machine that weighs just 6.2 pounds. Granted, it's not as light as the 5.8-pound Lenovo ThinkPad T60 Widescreen, which also has a spacious 15.4-inch screen. Large screens like this enhance productivity by letting you multitask more efficiently. Instead of minimizing and maximizing application windows, you can have several of them opened at the same time. The nc8430's 1,680-by-1,050 resolution is extremely sharp for presentations and video and picture slide shows, and an antiglare coating on the screen eliminates the reflection from fluorescent lights.'
