See the review on this laptop :http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/hp-compaq-business-notebook/4505-3121_7-30790829.htmlYou'd be hard-pressed to find a mainstream laptop that provides more for less and in a smaller package than the HP Compaq Business Notebook nx5000. At 6.3 pounds, not only is it smaller than competing systems, it also shows the possibilities of using Intel's Pentium M processor to downsize bulk for the sake of mobility. Despite its compact size, the HP Compaq Business Notebook nx5000 is not an underpowered weakling. On the contrary, this affordable business laptop has all the right stuff for work and play, including a 1.6GHz CPU, a 15-inch screen, excellent audio, and all the ports you could ever want. The nx5000's three-prong power cord can make it difficult to find an outlet for recharging, but you won't have to plug it in often, because this marathoner can run for more than six hours on a charge, making it an excellent all-around travel companion.

By packing so much into such small a space, the HP Compaq Business Notebook nx5000 is a hybrid that has the gear, the performance, and the battery life of a desktop replacement in the case of a mainstream notebook. It provides all of the creature comforts of a huge laptop for pounds and inches less than the rest, and it does it with a sophisticated design that you'll be proud to show off wherever your travels take you.

A wireless on/off button above the keyboard helps you conserve power when you're off the network.

At 6.3 pounds and measuring 1.5 by 12.8 by 10.8 inches, the rounded, black-and-silver plastic case is a few tenths of an inch thinner and a few ounces lighter than IBM's ThinkPad R50, and it's tiny compared to the ABS Mayhem G1. Add in the compact AC adapter and the power cord, and you have a tolerable 6.8-pound travel weight, although you'll need to find a three-prong outlet to power up this puppy. The system's 4,400mAh lithium-ion battery pack gives the HP Compaq Business Notebook nx5000 an exceptional six hours of use.

Like its Compaq cousins, the nx5000 has a large central lid release that is easy to unlatch but requires an extra hand to flip open. After you fumble with it a few times, you'll learn to do it with one hand by slipping your thumb up to push the lid open, but other notebooks have latches that are easier to use. Once you get inside, you're rewarded with full-size, 19.3mm keys with 2mm of depth, which makes typing comfortable and intuitive. The oval touch pad is responsive but lacks a scrollwheel or a button for zipping through long documents.

Even when working hard, the HP Compaq Business Notebook nx5000 keeps its cool, despite having only a single, very quiet fan on the bottom. The JBL Pro speakers and the SoundMax audio chip are a bonus because, despite its business pretensions, the nx5000 can rock, with solid bass, rich midrange tones, crisp treble, and the ability to blast it with the best of them. With excellent push-button volume controls and a mute button that lights up red when activated, all the system lacks are external CD-player controls.
