HP Compaq NX9005

There’s something rather reassuring about the HP Compaq NX9005. It took us a while to put our finger on just why: it wasn’t the double-barrelled tier-one brand name, nor the reasonably tasteful silver and dark grey trim -- although these no doubt helped. No, the reason why the £769 (ex. VAT) NX9005 feels comfortable to be around is its traditional approach.
