Trickle Down Technology: The HP Compaq nx9420 |
 |
The world of business notebooks is experiencing the old trickle-down effect. That's the economic theory, also known as "Voodoo Economics," whereby wealth and opportunity are granted to the 1 percenters-the already wealthy and already plugged-in set-with the hope that one day some of the moolah and good fortune will trickle down to the other 99 percent. The HP Compaq nx9420 suggests the trickle down works when it comes to laptops. |

Hewlett Packard's new
nx9420 is a 17-inch business laptop that starts at only
the low $1,000s. Sure, HP's nw9440 is the higher-end model in the
family, but the Compaq nx9420 ain't nothing to sneeze
at-especially for small business owners and independent
consultant types looking for power but also staring down the bill
for said power. Said power comes from your choice of either an Intel Core Duo processor-from the T2300 to the T2500-or the ultra-new Core 2 Duo (merom) processor. A typical configuration for the HP Compaq nx9420 can also come with a full Gig of DDR2 SDRAM. That comes in one stick, so upgrading is always on the table as an option thanks to a second empty slot. When it comes to storage power, expect as much as 100 GB. And like any good business notebook today, the HP Compaq nx9420 comes lock, stock, and barrel with security. There's a biometric fingerprint reader, a TPM embedded security chip and an integrated smart card reader. Depending on what processor you get, the 17 inch display will vary between a BrightView glossy finish, or an anti-glare, matte finish. For instance, the model with the T2500 processor comes with the anti-glare, while the T2400 comes with the BrightView. One thing to consider with the HP Compaq nx9420, however, is its mobility, or lack thereof. This attribute of upper-crust business laptops didn't quite trickle down to this Compaq. Weighing in at about 7.4 pounds, consider this laptop more deskbound than a frequent flier.
