Compaq 8710p Notebook

 

Handsome business laptop has a cutting-edge Blu-ray Disc drive and can moonlight as a hot 3D gaming station.

Relatively light, Impressive audio

Hard drive on the small side, Lacks an ExpressCard slot

The 8710p would be a great choice for any desk jockey seeking a laptop powerful enough to replace a desktop PC. Those doing graphics work on the go will appreciate it most

So far, the 8710p has proved to be superior to my previous notebook

Pre-configured models are available starting from $2,499

Excellent build quality ; Top notch input devices ; Gorgeous WUXGA WVA display ; Powerful Nvidia graphics ; Thin & light ; Great battery life

Number pad flexes somewhat with pressure

Integrated Bluetooth 2.0+EDR wireless is also included with the 8710w. I was able to connect to and transfer files back and forth to my Bluetooth-enabled ThinkPad without problems

HP Compaq 8710w Mobile Workstation

 

For CAD types

Powerful graphics card for design and content creation applications, comfortable to use

Needs more space for the left palm rest, slightly sluggish in our CPU tests

Big and with a powerful graphics card, this is a workstation notebook for users who make a living using design and content creation software.
