HP COMPAQ 6720S REVIEW – A GENRE OF NEW ENTRÉE

The HP Compaq 6720s proffers a first-class base for every day work at the bureau or at home for slight money. Due to contemporary dual-core technology completed by Intel, it is moreover able to complete all-embracing tasks rapidly.

Design
The HP 6720s presents its own self with an astoundingly contemporary intend, particularly bearing in mind the habitually conventional style of Compaq business notebooks. Whereas it's full-size and little brothers show Spartan and clunky intend, the 6720s proffers well-designed shapes and a slender case. Particularly the serration in the container around the keyboard almost resembles VAIO laptops from Far East - but barely on a small scale. Diverse other such details, like the charge position LED straight on the power association on the left side of the container, help to modernize the look of the laptop line.

Performance
Concealed under the top of the HP Compaq 6720s is a processor completed by Intel. The Intel Core 2 Duo T7250 of our test taster can entrée two cores with 2GHz clock rate each and proffers thus plethora of presentation at any time. From web surfing to challenging video encoding tasks - the HP paces up well even with more luxurious laptops regarding brute processor influence. Current 3D games on the other hand, are a clear no-no for this office notebook. The incorporated graphics chip turns contemporary games into slide shows - if it runs them at all. In contrast with the processor, the option of the hard disk is deprived. Even though the Hitachi provisions up to 160 GB of data, it does this slower and noisier than its competitors.

The HP Compaq 6720s bowed out to be a silent companion in our test. During straightforward writing tasks in office programs it is nearly completely silent.

While the test sample merely and moderately heats up during every day usage, it doesn’t seem as good in our temperature test. A solitary small mono speaker is accountable for the resonance output of the HP Compaq 6720s. Even though 2 stereo speakers would be far better, the noise is not too bad for a access level laptop. The battery life of the HP Compaq 6720s is satisfactory in our test. Although the laptop only manages 70 minutes under full load with the Battery Eaters classic test, the 47 watt battery lasts for more than 5 hours in the straightforward idle mode test.
Overall
The HP laptop made in our tests only a small number of blunders. Workmanship and substance quality is pleasing considering the price, but it would have been enhanced if the IT Company had saved a bit less on the gear. The fact that the laptop contains only a diminutive mono speaker in spite of the huge speaker section irritates as much as the very tiresome interface arrangement.

+ Excellent keyboard
+ Snappy processor
+ Slim and light container
+ Steady display hinges
