HP Compaq nc6320 dual core laptop with EV-DO reviewed

In an amazing feat of journalistic skill, Laptop magazine has managed to both review and organize their impressions of HP's dual core Compaq nc6320 notebook on the very same day it was announced. Actually, Laptop got an early review unit for their business notebook shootout, and proclaims the nc6320 "best in category"- if you're not looking for a widescreen model, that is. The HP gets high marks for its bright, sharp 1,400 x 1,050 15-inch display (which may be "too high for some users," opines Laptop), integrated Verizon-flavored EV-DO, 7-in-1 card reader, Presentation button for one-touch video out, and generally solid performance and build quality. Security is also tight, with optional fingerprint and smart card readers, as is battery life, at 3:38 with WiFI on, but the integrated graphics and MobileMark score mean this is no gaming rig. Still, for $1800, it sounds like business-types get a pretty good deal on a machine that excels in communication and presentation.
