HP nc2400 fingerprint identifier

As the "little guy" in the test group this month, the HP Compaq nc2400 is a lightweight device weighing only 1. 46kg and about the size of a hard cover book. Still wearing a mouse coat, the nc2400 is for business people and very compatible with office workers. What NC2400 brings is compact, secure and easy to use. The device has a fingerprint identifier that increases data security. In addition, HP also offers HP Mobile Data Protection anti-shock technology for hard drives at nc2400. However, because there is little space, nc2400 does not have a touchpad-like mouse device as usual, but instead is a type of eraser. 12. 1 screen is quite bright but not very sharp, supporting 1280x800 resolution. Above the keyboard is a set of sensor buttons to adjust the volume, turn on / off wirelessly and output to the projector. The device has a decent configuration in the form of ultra-light laptops: running low-power single-core CPU Intel Core Solo U1400 1. 2GHz, DDR2 512MB RAM and a 60GB hard drive (4200rpm). Nc2400's WorldBench score is only 61 points, but we cannot compare to the other desktop replacement notebooks in the article, most of them run dual-core processors (except Acer Ferrari 4006WLMi running single core). If compared to the ultra-light laptops that Test Lab used to test in previous issues, the score of 61 is not really impressive. The battery life of nc2400 is also quite good: wireless connection, text reading and mixed running are approximately 3 hours, watching DVD for more than 2 hours.

The device comes with Windows XP Pro SP2 operating system, HP's system toolkit and Symantec Norton Internet Security 2006 software.

CONFIGURATION FOR VISTA

Want to know if your existing configuration meets the requirements of the Windows Vista operating system that Microsoft is about to launch? Some "boxed" computers (both desktops and laptops) recently produced by big name companies often have a logo titled "Windows Vista Capable" or "Windows Vista Premium Ready". So what is it like? When a system is labeled "Windows Vista Capable", it means that the system meets the most basic configuration to run Windows Vista that Microsoft offers. The minimum configuration for "Windows Vista Capable" is: at least 800MHz CPU speed, 512MB RAM, DirectX 9 graphics processing capability and 15GB free hard drive to run the operating system and system "core" features system. But if you want to run more advanced versions of Windows Vista, run the new Windows Aero graphical interface, then the system must meet the higher configuration, and Microsoft has a high-end "Windows Vista Premium Ready" configuration. This configuration requires a minimum of 1GHz CPU, 1GB of RAM and a GPU with WDDM support (Windows Display Driver Module), Pixel Shader 2. 0 at hardware level and 32-bit color depth.

HP Presario V3000 (V3012TU) The most fashionable of these 7 models is the Presario V3000, which aims to entertain both home and office users. Also with the main color is mouse-gray hair but the cover is covered with glossy plastic with bright stripes that look very fashionable. Add that beauty to the mirror screen with HP's BrightView technology, which is "glossy", bright but still not very sharp despite the real resolution at 1280x800. The touchpad is also gray and the button is very smooth; The touchpad also has a button to turn on / off the touchpad so that when you type the key, you don't accidentally tap the touchpad. The keyboard button is quite large and sensitive. Above the keyboard is a set of sensor buttons for volume adjustment and HP's DVDPlay DVD player launch button. However, you must boot into the operating system to be able to run this app. The integrated Altec Lansing stereo speakers above the keyboard sound great and very "full". Notably, the Presario V3000's multi-format burner supports HP's Lightscribe technology labeling, which is accompanied by Sonic's burning software.

HP Presario V3000

The device has an average configuration: 1. 83GHz Intel Core Duo T2400 CPU, DDR2 512MB and 80GB (5400rpm) SATA hard drive. The machine scored 86 points WorldBench; quite good compared to the Presario V3000's RAM and integrated graphics chip. The most surprising was testing the movie with Roxio VideoWave, it took only 290 seconds and multi-tasking took 511 seconds, second to Travelmate 8204WMLi (280 seconds and 488 seconds respectively). The Presario V3000 also has a respectable battery life: it takes 4 hours to read wireless connection, read 4 hours and 26 minutes of text, run a mix of nearly 4 hours and watch DVDs over 2 hours and 30 minutes. It comes with Windows XP Home SP2 and other software: muvee Producer, Microsoft Works, Microsoft Money, HP PhotoSmart for image management and recovery tools, tweaking HP's system. Overall, the Aspire 9802WKMi is a good choice if you need a home entertainment device because Aspire has a 20. 1 "screen" that is very "overwhelming" and the TV tuner is quite convenient. The HP Compaq nc2400 for business people is a good choice if you need a super-lightweight laptop, especially the nc2400 is guaranteed for up to 3 years. If you need to handle workloads or other "heavy" tasks, the Travelmate 8204WMLi is a good candidate, besides the battery life of the device is also quite long. While Acer Ferrari 4006WLMi is obviously eye-catching for those who are "cool", there is a bit of speed and favor for AMD. Aspire 5602NWLMi simple, price is quite soft. The Presario V3000 has a "feminine" quality and is the most beautiful "girl" in the 7 models.
