HP Compaq nx9420 review

Powerful laptop for professionals and home users

Core 2 Duo T7400 (2.16GHz) processor ; Sturdy keyboard

A little heavy to lug around long-term

This superb machine will appeal to large and small business users alike

HP Compaq nx9420 laptop

Considering HP is one of the world's largest notebook manufacturers, it isn't a brand you'd immediately think of choosing a new machine. The HP Compaq nx9420 may be a business machine but we found it a great machine for anyone to use.

Powerful, great screen, lightweight for size, 5-hour battery life

17-inches and 3.4kgs means its a tad on the large and heavy size if you travel away without the car

The HP Compaq nx9420 may be a business machine but we found it a great machine for anyone to use.

HP Compaq nx9420 Notebook review

Though plenty of 17-inch wide-screen laptops are on the market, the HP Compaq nx9420 is the only one of them from a major vendor that's designed specifically for large business and enterprise deployment. Starting at approximately $1,399, the nx9420 is...

17-inch wide-screen display; big keyboard and separate number pad; solid performance and battery life; full range of security features; portable enough for room-to-room movement.

Display isn't particularly bright; system lacks external touch pad on/off button; small touch pad.

If you're looking for a 17-inch wide-screen laptop that offers corporate-caliber security, power, and battery life, the HP Compaq nx9420 is the only game in town.

HP Compaq nx9420 Review

Recently I bought the HP Compaq nx9420 to replace my good old Prestigio 1590W laptop. This is the fourth notebook I have purchased since 2000. I had a great opportunity to sell my old notebook and purchase this one at a lower price, so I went for it....

The optical drive is a model with a 24x CD and 8x DVD writing performance and there is nothing special about it. It is a fast notebook and I will give it 4.5/5 instead of the top 5 due to the fact that 1GB is actually the minimum requirement for...
