HP is going toe-to-toe with Lenovo in the business laptop market, positioning the HP Compaq nc6320 as a competitor to the ThinkPad T60. I think the T60 is still the superior system overall, but the nc6320 is a very enticing, lower-cost alternative, with just about everything a mobile professional could want. Although its 15-inch screen adds size and weight, it is still portable at 6.1 pounds (slightly lighter than the T60). And it is joining the pack of business notebooks that offer an integrated card for Verizon EV-DO high-speed cellular data network.

The HP Compaq nc6320 raises the bar when it comes to features offered on a business portable. There's wireless broadband, a dual-core processor, and configuration options galore. If you can't build a model that fits your business needs, you're not trying hard enough. The 15-inch LCD screen is bright and sharp. The 1,400-by-1,050 resolution on our model might be too high for some users, but HP offers lower-res panels as well. The 4:3 aspect ratio, however, will mean a tight fit when traveling. And since you'll see a noticeable color shift when viewed from above with the lid open less than 90 degrees, this could be an issue for commuters and frequent flyers.

Comment

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 950: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 is an integrated (onboard) graphic chip on Mobile Intel 945GM chipset. It is a faster clocked version of the GMA 900 and supports no hardware T&L (Transform & Lightning) accelleration (which is required for some games).

These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.

Intel Core Duo: Double Core processor with a very good relation of performance to current consumption. The 2 MB L2 Cache are used together by the double. The maximum capacity of 31 watts is only 4 watts more than with the Pentium M (predecessor). Both cores are lowered automatically and independently of each other by speed steps down to 1 GHz. In addition it now supports also SSE3 instructions. At least it is just as fast as a equivalent Pentium M. With applications, which were designed for multi-processors, the performance can be nearly twice as fast as with the Pentium M (e.g. CineBench around 86% fast)

15.10":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

2.7 kg:

With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.

HP: Founded in 1939, the US company is a major server and printer manufacturer and one of the leading IT companies in the world. Until 2015, the company was called Hewlett-Packard Company. After a split, the computer division was renamed HP Inc.

80.2%: This rating is slightly above average, there are somewhat more devices with worse ratings. However, clear purchase recommendations look different.
