Review HP Compaq nx7400 Notebook

Solid Basics. The Hewlett-Packard Compaq nx7400 is optimized for ...

Robust Case, Good Keyboard, Touch pad comfortable, Suffiecient bright display with good illumination, Acceptable noise and temperature emissions

Wobbling battery, Teetering hinges, Reflecting display, Vertical stability to the vantage point, Below-average battery runtime
