Good

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

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

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

great all-rounder if you're a business user/traveler.



Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: point-stick device, size, weight, matt wide-screen, superb data protection software (from shock/theft/hacking)
Cons: price, terrible built-in speaker, only 2 usb ports, no media card slots, lousy internet support (indian helpdesk)
Opinion:
i've owned the nc2400 about a year now. with a 3 year int'l warranty, i've had hp telephone support in different countries (new york, new zealand, malaysia and singapore). but please don't use the internet tech support. it's terrible.

the size and weight is good as a portable laptop, except the 6 cell battery protrudes out. the power brick is also small. the keyboard is full sized.

battery life is super at almsot 5 hours. with a built-in battery indicator (like a mac) you know how much juice is left in the battery at a press of a button without turning on the computer.

the speaker built-in is located at bottom front, so if you place it on soft places like the bed, it's muffled. the quality is also terrible.

all ports are easily accessible. the build-quality is top notch; no flexing, even the usb ports look reinforced.

too bad there's no media card slot ... Read more

 

so-so performance, always hanged when the monitor is closed.



Rating: 5 out of 10 (Average)
Pros: small size, light enough
Cons: expensive, lousy battery life, not stable
Opinion:
First battery only last 5months, 2nd battery last 8months and service center did not want to replace the 2nd battery.
With the purchased price of SG$3000+, it's really not worth the money.
