| bakababa's Full Review: Hewlett Packard Compaq Business Notebook nc4000 (D... |
Good: I bought this notebook from ecost.com for a little bit over a thousand dollars. I've been using it for about 3 months and loving it! The design is awesome. You can choose to use both touch pad or pointing stick. Decent processor speed. WiFi works great! I only see ONE little speaker located on the left side and not sure what kind of soundcard is installed but the quality is pretty good. (max volume is a little bit too low but not a big issue)
Bad: [Problems I encountered]
1. The two USB ports are too closed to each other. When using a USB thumb drive, the other USB port becomes unusable.
2. Battery life is very bad. Mine last less than 2 hours
It also gets SUPER HOT where the battery located underneath this notebook. First I was afraid it will be overheated but that never happened. (I usually have it turned on for over 3-4 hours with power cord)
3. WiFi can't be used with wireless mouse. When using a wireless mouse, WiFi will be disrupted and lost signal.
