Along with the nc6400, PCMag has also reviewed its sibling, the Compaq nc2400 laptop. Before you read the detail review (link below), here are some reminders about this HP’s notebook. Powered by Intel Core Solo U1400 (1.2GHz) processor, nc2400 laptop comes with a Graphics Media Accelerator 950 chipset, a 512MB of RAM and 40GB of HDD.

Other features packed on this 12.1-inches notebook are WiFI connectivity, DVD/CD-RW combo drive, integrated 56K modem, and more.
