CNET editors' review

  • Reviewed on: 02/22/2006

To get the workhorse ultraportable HP Compaq nc4200 to its fighting weight of 3.9 pounds, you'll have to sacrifice an optical drive; while laptops of comparable size offer integrated optical drives, the nc4200's drive is external (choices include CD and DVD burners). Otherwise, the nc4200 combines a decent selection of midrange components with a 12.1-inch XGA display and 802.11b/g and Bluetooth connections to let business travelers keep up with basic productivity work while on the road. And though the nc4200 doesn't offer as many configuration options as some of HP's other laptops, it does give you a choice of Intel Pentium M processors from 1.73GHz to 2GHz; 5,400rpm hard drives from 40GB to 80GB; a healthy 1GB of RAM (expandable to 2GB) at either 400MHz or 533MHz; and an Intel 915GM 128MB graphics adapter. The $1,788 HP Compaq nc4200 that we tested had decent performance and was light on the shoulder. Find out more in our full review of the HP Compaq nc4200.
