HP Compaq 6515b

Angle Back Open Front

review

One quick glance at the size and design of the HP Compaq 6515b ($1,359 direct) will tell you that it's aimed at professionals who spend equal amounts of time on the road and at their desks. More important, it gives remote users the ability to stay connected, incorporating a host of wireless options, including Draft 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0, and your choice of Verizon's EV-DO and Cingular's HSDPA. The unit I received also has one of the fastest AMD Turion X2 processors installed. Still, it isn't quite a match for the Lenovo ThinkPad T60p in performance and usability.
