Hewlett-Packard HP Compaq 6730b (NB020ET#ABU): Recent Notebook with a solid Design
By Jenny • May 1st, 2009 • Category: LaptopsWith a stiff chassis, the Hewlett Packard Compaq 6730b is definitely a notch higher than HP Compaq 6735s and there is a distintive difference between the ‘B’ and ‘S’ series of HP notebooks. Compared to the ‘S’ model, this notebook is slightly squarish in size and very robust. It is a reliable machine due to the roll-cage reinforced by magnesium alloy and a strong companion. The touchpad buttons are similar to ‘piano’ keys but one gets used soon. Also the buttons are quiet and between touchpad buttons, there is a thumbnail reader as a security accessory.
With an Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 processor, this gadget is efficient and reliable. It has an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 4500MHD as its graphics adapter. It has a non-glossy 15.4 inch display screen with an aspect ratio of 16:10 and resolution of 1280×800 pixels. Weighing only 2.5kg, it is pretty much the same weight as other similar notebooks. The palm rest is pleasant and has a matte finish. It is gray-colored with discreet lighter stripes that are slightly embossed. The palm rest has HP DuraFinish technology, which does not leave traces and is scratch resistant. This is a useful point as it will ensure that the machine will last long despite everyday use. The surfaces of this machine are well-finished and the notebook is high on functionality as well as aesthetics. The keyboard and frame around the Hewlett-Packard HP Compaq 6730b (NB020ET#ABU) is black coloured. The keyboard is partially spill-proof, which means that it can resist spills to some extent. An integrated webcam, Compaq 6730b, has multimedia controls in a narrow glossy black strip above the keyboard.
