Amazon.com Product Description

The HP/Compaq Evo N610c notebook PC offers a good balance of mobility and technology. It features a thin, light, durable design, enterprise-level performance, and corporate-level features for dedicated road warriors. Weighing 5.5 pounds, this notebook features a 30 GB hard drive, 256 MB of installed RAM (1 GB maximum), 1.8 GHz Pentium M processor, a bright 14.1-inch screen, CD-RW drive, and Windows XP Home edition operating system.

The Basics
<ul>

Hard Drive: The 30 GB hard drive is small in comparison to contemporary business-oriented notebooks (where 80 GB is becoming more the standard). However, it's still more than enough room for loading a business productivity suite and storing a wealth of spreadsheets, documents, and presentations.

Processor: The 1.8 GHz Pentium M (Centrino) processor is a bit old and slower than currently available processors (August 2006). But it is still adequate for office productivity software tasks, from complex spreadsheets to databases. The Pentium M processor is designed specifically for low-power mobile usage, and it features the latest in power-saving technologies--ensuring you push your battery and productivity to the max.

Memory: The 256 MB of installed RAM (266 MHz) will get you started, but you'll want to add more to handle any kind of multimedia application and most business productivity suites. This notebook has a 1 GB maximum RAM capacity.

CD/DVD Drive: This notebook includes a CD-RW drive, enabling you to burn presentations and music mixes to CD.

Keyboard & Mouse: It has a standard 86-key keyboard and electro-static two-button touchpad. </ul> Screen, Graphics and Sound
Video and graphics are powered by the ATI RADEON 7500 card (AGP 4x) with 16 MB of video RAM, which provides a maximum resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels on the 14.1-inch screen and 2048 x 1536 pixels on an external monitor. It also features an integrated Sound Blaster 16/Pro-compatible audio card with headphone and microphone jacks.

Customer Reviews:

It does what I need it to, mostly........2007-01-06

I actually got this through another site (refurbished) at a deep discount. The first one I had, had a defect and I had to send it back and get a replacement. The second one that I am using now, has worked fine for me for many months. The only problem that I have had is that it came with an extra A drive. I thought initially "I will NEVER need this." then yesterday I did. When I put it in, it made all sorts of groaning, grinding noises so I took it out. Then when I put it in again it refused to work. I tried everything, it just crapped out. So the A drive that I never thought I needed, and did need- now doesn't work. Other than that, I have no other complaints. It is a nice little unit at a nice little price. I don't use it for much more than surfing, blogging and doing my household budgeting- and this is the perfect computer for that. So while it doesn't "wow" me it doesn't disappoint either.
