Apart from its decent hardware configuration and creature comforts such as the touch sensitive shortcuts and discrete but functional Bluetooth mouse, this 2.27kg notebook certainly comes with staple business features IT managers and executives would appreciate. From the rugged housing, HP’s 3D DriveGuard (hard drive protection), TPM 1.2 Embedded Security Chip, matte display screen to the onboard biometric scanner, everything just seems to come together nicely for this business oriented notebook. Starting at about US$899 (SGD$1,363), the HP Compaq 6515b Notebook PC represents great value as well, which makes it even harder to give it a miss.
