Reviews for the HP Compaq 6735s

65% HP Compaq 6735s review
Source: CNet English
Business and consumer laptops tend to be built to a different set of criteria. Stolid dependability is usually the order of the day with business machines. HP is one of the main players in this market, and the Compaq 6735s, available for around £540, is one of its more popular models. Well-made and with a no-nonsense design, the HP Compaq 6735s will no doubt appeal to those seeking a low-cost, dependable laptop, but there's little to get excited about and the specification is rather lacking, given the price

It might not be the cheapest budget laptop on the block, but the great screen, decent components and comfortable keyboard make it a suitable replacement for your ugly office desktop. Just make sure that you whack another gig of memory inside to ensure your sanity remains intact.

Comment

ATI Radeon HD 3200: Onboard (shared Memory) graphics chip (on RS780M chipset) based on the HD 2400 graphics core. It also features the UVD video engine to decode HD videos. Furthermore, it supports Hybrid CrossfireX (for accelleration) and PowerXpress(to save current) with a dedicated graphics adapter (of the HD 3000 line). Beware: Under Windows XP the HD 3200 may have no 2D accelleration because of a driver problem.

Lower end of Graphics Cards for users who want to play games. New games should run on these cards, but only with decreased details and mediocre resolution.

15.4": 15 inch display-variants are the standard and are used for more than the half of all notebooks. 15.4 inch display with 16:10 are the standard for notebook displays. Nowadays, more and more 16:9 displays with 15.6 inch appear. The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much energy and the laptops can be kept quite compact.

2.5 kg: This notebook is lighter than the average of all notebooks. It is too heavy for sub-notebooks. 14 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
