The HP Compaq 6530b HP Compaq 480459-002 DVD Drive makes a pretty strong case for itself as a useful business box. The laptop has some speed where it counts, and doesn't cost an exorbitant amount of money. Its display is still a bit of a downer, but we suppose something was going to get short shrift to keep the price low.
Between its durability and incredibly robust software applications, HP's 6530b makes a pretty strong case for itself as a useful business box. The laptop has some speed where it counts, and doesn't cost an exorbitant amount of money. Its HP-Compaq 480461-001 BD-ROM Drive display is still a bit of a downer, but I suppose something was going to get short shrift to keep the price low. If you're on the hunt for a business laptop, you might want to check out Lenovo's SL400, a fairly evenly matched (though slightly more expensive) machine.
The 6530b earned a mark of 81 -- not too shabby, and close to the Lenovo ThinkPad SL400's score of 84. (The SL400 costs about $100 more.) In battery life, too, the 6530b HP-Compaq 486262-001 DVD Drive is no slouch, lasting for about 4 hours, 22 minutes in our tests. That result fell shy of the SL400's running time of 5 hours, 8 minutes, but the great thing is that this HP-Compaq 488747-001 DVDRW Drive laptop is a lot lighter: The 6530b weighs 5.3 pounds, while the beefy SL400 is 6.1 pounds.
Withe the HP Compaq 6530b will you be able to view your pictures and watch the occasional DVD on your next flight? Yes, but the video won't pop as much as it might on a glossy panel. That's the trade-off you make with any matte screen: the colours are less vivid, but the screen is viewable in any lighting condition. This particular panel, however, is a touch dim even when compared with similar matte screens.
