HP Compaq 6710b review

A no-nonsense approach for this corporate-aimed workhorse

Tough build ; Powerful performance ; Good battery life

No 802.11n ; Pricey

A good choice for the commuting corporate user, but for the everyday user this laptop doesn't offer great value for money

HP Compaq 6710b (GE821PA)

The forgivably plain look of the HP Compaq 6710b (GE821PA) clearly states the fleet style, workhorse aspirations of this business focused notebook. Al...

Price, Speakers, Sturdy build

No draft-n Wi-Fi, Could have had more comprehensive maintenance software

Although the HP Compaq 6710b is not at the top of the game, it's a good value for money option. The included software could have been a little more comprehensive, but this simple notebook still does what it needs to do reasonably well.

Robust case, good workmanship ; Good input devices ; Matt display ; Very low noise and temperature emissions ; Very good battery runtime possible

Somewhat unreasonable order of ports ; Moderate performance

HP Compaq 6510b Review

The 6510b isn't made of any fancy magnesium or aluminum composite, it's mostly plastic in its build, but it's by no means flimsy because of this. It's not exactly a notebook you'd want to take along if you're a road warrior, but rather good in terms of...

Solid build, pleasing design though nothing flashy ; Excellent wireless connectivity options ; Great performance with Intel Santa Rosa platform ; Reasonable price ; Good LCD

A little bulky for a thin-and-light notebook ; Plastic insert instead of a flap for PC card slot ; Touch sensitive buttons are not very responsive ; No pointing stick that other HP business notebooks offer

Outside of the ubiquitous Norton anti-virus software you get on any HP notebook, there was nothing I would describe as bloatware installed. There were a number of useful business-oriented utilities, primarily for handling security. Windows Vista...

HP Laptop 6710B Intel Core 2 Duo 2.00 GHz 4 GB Memory 750 GB HDD 15.4" Windows 7 Home Premium

They really need to send out the disk set for these refurbs.

Got this for my older (disabled) sis who just needs it for FB and browsing. She can't get out. It does good for that and prolly much more.

The Windows Home Premium needed reset from recovery partition cause it didn't have an OS installed. Even worse, once recovered, it wont activate. Opened a ticket with Newegg. no resolution yet. the 30 days is about up. I hope that's not used as an...

ehh...

If you're looking for a used pile of junk, feel free to buy this but I strongly suggest you spend the extra money on buying something "Laptop Worthy". This thing shouldn't be sold, it should be thrown in the trash...

It turned on?

Fried battery - Will not charge so I'm forced to leave it plugged in Only one working USB port Ethernet adapter does NOT work Massive damage to the mouse buttons Casing cracked on the front corner and even separates from the rest of the case The list...
