HP Compaq 6720s
<p>
We're used to reviewing business notebooks costing over £1,000, but with HP's Compaq 6720s we're definitely at the 'budget' end of the market. Part of the company’s Balanced Mobility range, the 6720s comes in three versions: we looked at the least expensive £339 (ex. VAT) GR663ET model, while the other two cost £435 (GR665ET) and £489 (GR649ET) respectively. The most obvious questions to ask about the 6720s is: what has been omitted to meet the price point, and how usable is it as a portable business workshorse?
