You may have missed that Compaq nc2400 ultraportable business laptop among the slew of notebooks we reported on yesterday, but according to Laptop magazine, those on a budget looking to travel light should probably give the 3.6-pound (with battery)...

This laptop's nice attention to design is offset by its poor performance.

Lightweight ultraportable offers a comfy keyboard and excellent battery life, but sluggish WorldBench performance.

Lightweight, with a nice widescreen

Sluggish WorldBench performance

Despite its performance shortcomings, the nc2400 does have attributes that make it appealing, including its light weight, excellent battery life, and a great keyboard--all for a reasonable price. Just don't expect the notebook to power through lots of...

HP Compaq nc2400

 

Compact with an optical drive, this ultraportable has serious staying power.

Integrated optical drive. Long battery life. Full-size keyboard. Bright screen.

Pointing stick is a little stiff. Low-powered components.

HP Compaq nc2400 review

 

The Compaq nc2400, HP's newest corporate ultraportable , is not the lightest laptop on the market, but it strikes an appealing balance between features and portability for a lower price than competitive models. Though it weighs less than 4 pounds, it...

Very low starting price; includes key security features; has a large display for such a lightweight model; three-year warranty.

A bit heavier than comparable models; lacks a touch pad and a scroll button; fewer ports and connections than competitive models.

Though it lacks the latest components, the low-price HP Compaq nc2400 strikes an appealing balance between features and portability for basic mobile users.

HP Compaq nc2400 Review

 

Since my job takes me on the road every single day, I needed a machine that was small and light. My company provided me with a Lenovo ThinkPad T60, which while being an excellent performer, was just too big and heavy with its 15 inch screen. It was by...

The market of this laptop, as an ultraportable, is clearly not performance junkies but people who need portability and long battery life. I do find on too may occasions the CPU meter staying at 100% for extended periods of time and just idling seems to...
