Forgiving the fact that a Compaq notebook would ever be considered as anything more than a paper weight, the review of AMD mobile Turion 64 being used in it does make for a great read in this review from TH.
HP’s Compaq nx6125 marks the first thin-and-light notebook launch from the PC OEM giant that is based on AMD’s mobile Turion 64. Setting its sights on small- and medium-sized business customers, HP seeks to appease demand for top-rate performance, robustness and reasonable battery life specs. But despite its numerous high-end features such as a fingerprint sensor, a substantial security suite and integrated WLAN and PAN modules, the nx6125 stands out by wearing a relatively moderate price tag. The nx6125 we tested had the product code PY417ET and featured an 80GB hard drive, and costs around €1,200 in Europe (MSR); online shops offer it for €1,000. In the U.S., you’re looking at paying around $1,400 for an nx6125 (PZ222UA) equipped with one gigabyte RAM and a 60GB HD, according to HP. In the virtual notebook shops, you’d shell out around $1,300. This portable PC could well be a good choice for consumer uses, as well. [Read the rest]
