Review HP Compaq 6730b Notebook

 

Compaq notebooks designed for business use (indicated by 'b') are ...

Solid Case ; User-friendly keyboard ; Matte WSXGA+ screen ; Quiet operation ; Pretty good battery runtime ; Relatively light

The software part of the laptop is at least not perfect ; Quality of materials could be better ; Chassis gets hot

To summarize, the HP 6730b has a number of desireable advantages. Unfortunately HP disregarded the software side. So, this laptop might sometimes tax the user's patience if something fails, does not run as expected or contrary to the expectations

HP Compaq 6730b

 

The HP 6730b is an uninteresting and overpriced business laptop with poor battery life.

Matte display, Centrino 2, Large comfortable keyboard, Fingerprint reader

No 64-bit Windows available as pre-install, No discrete graphics card available, Not very customisable, Poor battery life, Low resolution display

HP is gunning for sales into SMB accounts with its HP Compaq 6730b notebook. The Test Center takes a look to see how it might go over.

Review: HP Compaq 6730b Notebook

 

When it comes to notebook computers we tend to be obsessed with what's cutting edge. Whether it's the smallest, lightest, most powerful, or longest running, it is easy to focus on the exceptions, not the standard systems that get most people through...

HP Compaq 6730b

 

A longer-lasting laptop.

Performs considering its price, very long battery life, screen is not highly reflective, wide variety of expansion ports

Heavy, small hard drive

The HP Compaq 6730b is a good value laptop with an excellent battery life and relatively wide selection of expansion ports. Although it sports a small hard drive and is quite heavy for a 15.4in notebook, the positives outweigh the negatives.

HP Compaq 6730s (FV305PA)

 

Excitement is overrated

Business-friendly design, dedicated graphics chip, spacious display and keyboard

Business-friendly design, underperformed in WorldBench 6, a little on the chunky side

The Compaq 6730s (FV305PA) is the Dunlop of business notebooks. Like the famous shoe, it's plain, workmanlike and reliable, yet also incredibly dull. If you're on the lookout for a basic business laptop with some gaming capabilities, it will get the...
