Compaq Presario B2800 launch

It's understandable if you get a sense of deja vu when seeing the Compaq Presario B2800 for the first time, as the white minimalist exterior is reminiscent of Apple notebooks. Targeting at students and executives, HP has kept the price low with an affordable starting price of S$2,599.

Running on the latest Centrino platform, the 533MHz mainboard can be coupled with a Pentium M 770 chip running at 2.13GHz and an ATI Mobility Radeon X600SE with 256MB video memory for an intense gaming experience on its 14.1-inch display. Standard connectivity are provided, with nice additional touches like the generous four USB 2.0 ports and optical audio output. Wireless connectivity to 802.11b, 802.11g and Bluetooth are available, though infrared is left out. This notebook comes bundled with an optical mouse and will be available across Asia-Pacific markets by end November.
