HP Compaq nc6400 Review
The HP Comapaq nc6400 is a great yet simple notebook, offering great performance. This is definitely a tool and not a toy. If you’re looking for a gaming notebook, I would recommend higher graphics interface, perhaps an AMD processor. But if your main need is multitasking and occasional media, this is one of the best notebooks on the market. As a final note, although HP does not seem to offer customizable models, certain features can be changed (bigger hard drive, etc.), if you can afford to wait 4-5 weeks.

HP Compaq nc6400 review by PC Magazine
Essentially, the HP Compaq nc6400 is one of the lightest business laptops around, and it is more than capable of helping you get your work done on the road, thanks in part to the built-in Verizon EV-DO capability, which will help keep you connected wherever you go.

LAPTOP Magazine - HP Compaq nc6400 Review
Our test system was powered by the 2-GHz Intel Core Duo processor. While we didn’t have any problems multitasking, the nc6400 managed a ho-hum MobileMark 2005 score of 219. That’s the same score that the Dell Latitude D620 turned in using a slower 1.8-GHz CPU, albeit one with 512MB more RAM. The nc6400 lasted a decent 3 hours and 51 minutes of battery life with Wi-Fi off, and lost only 11 minutes of runtime with the radio turned on. Thanks to HP’s Fast Charge technology, this notebook recharged quickly, reaching 90 percent in 90 minutes.

# The good: Good processor and connectivity features for the price; long battery life; includes dual-core processor; solid security features; broad wireless connectivity.
# The bad: Unexceptional performance when running on battery; lacks some standard ports, such as FireWire.
# The bottom line: Though it’s not a performance powerhouse, the HP Compaq nc6400 comes with enough speed, battery life, features, and design perks for the typical employee–at a lower price than some competitors.
