HP’s new offerings to the small- to- medium business market that sports a newly redesigned look and upgraded features. The nx. HP Compaq nx. 70. With a 1. 5. 4″ wide screen LCD, a high- end graphics card and a multi- format DVD writer, this unit can pull double duty whether it’s for work or play.
Reasons For Purchase. I have been searching for a notebook that has the ability to play the latest games, while still having the battery life and weight that will allow me to be mobile. After finding the HP Compaq nx. The Centrino technology would provide the long battery life, the ATI Mobility Radeon x. I went on to HP’s online shopping website via www.
HPShopping. ca and placed my order. The unit only came with a standard 1- year worldwide coverage, so I decided to get the 3- year extended warranty for an additional $1. CDN. Having that extra 2 years of coverage is definitely an insurance policy that’s worth it. Repairs after the standard 1- year warranty will more than pay for the cost of the extension.

I have checked a few HP regional sites looking for the model’s availability, but it seems that this model is not available in the United States. HP Compaq nx. 82.

Design & Build. At first glance, I liked the clean lines of this unit. In previous business models, they had silver accenting pieces throughout the notebook that looked too flashy, but HP has switched to a toned down color scheme and has decided to use just one color, which is more suited for a business environment. From a distance, the notebook looks black, but on closer inspection, it’s more of a dark gray/graphite color. Top of LCD Cover (Large Image)The outer casing is generally plastic all around, except the LCD top cover. It’s made of a Magnesium- Alloy and feels solid. Pressing on the back of the LCD panel did not produce any rippling on the screen (the effect you get when you press an LCD screen). All exposed surfaces, with the bottom being an exception, were designed flat and smooth. The hinges were firm, but not overly tight. It allowed the screen to be opened with one hand without any problems. The screen locks in place with two latches at the top of the screen. One design feature of the unit I really liked was the rubber feet. Who cares about the rubber feet? Well, HP used to design their units with one of the rubber feet attached to the battery. If you were using the notebook without the battery, this would cause the unit to rock back and forth while typing on it. With all of the feet attached to the casing instead of the battery, it’s completely balanced on your desk. There are also four additional feet to give another level of stability. Rubber Feet Indicated in Red (Large Image)LCDThe screen that came with my nx. WXGA+ LCD. It provides a wide horizontal viewing angle with a maximum resolution of 1.
I personally found this resolution proper for an LCD this size. The fonts on the screen are sharp and clear, but sometimes on the small side if I decide to sit back on my chair. As with all LCD purchasers, everyone is worried about dead pixels. I can happily say that this unit arrived without a single dead pixel. The screen is not one of the glossy, extra- bright LCD’s that most people seem to love. HP does have this type of LCD labeled Brightview, but they decided not to use this type on their business models. It has a standard matte finish, which I guess is more suited for an office environment. The LCD is generally bright, but it could have been 1.
Brightview LCD option. The LCD also includes an Ambient Light Sensor that can be disabled. This sensor, when enabled, will change the brightness of the screen depending on your current light conditions. In a brightly lit area, the screen will automatically get brighter, and will reduce brightness in low light conditions. I enabled the light sensor and found that the range from light to dark was not very noticeable. I think they should have spent this money on a better LCD. Audio. You would normally expect to get very shallow, tinny audio from a notebook computer that is as thin as the nx. When watching a DVD movie, the overall power output was very impressive. I was capable of increasing the volume to 1. With the audio at 8. I was still capable of hearing the audio clearly from 6ft away in a quiet room. Even though the notebook lacked the heavy bass, it was still adequate to provide a good movie experience. If you’re one of those types of people that must have heavy bass, then external speakers or headphones would be recommended, but I’m sure most would be satisfied with the sound the internal speakers produce.
Storage. The Fujitsu HDD used in my unit was probably one of the quietest drives I have ever had in a notebook. It executed applications and performed disk reads/writes quickly. The heat produced was a marginal 4. C to 4. 5 C during operation. The HDD sits right under the right palm rest and would get a little warm, but it did not produce enough heat to really be a problem. The nx. 82. 20 was also pre- configured with a DVD+/- RW Multi. Bay II Optical Drive. This drive is built with the new 9. This allows the notebook design to be thinner while still allowing the unit to have an optical drive. Being a Multi. Bay II device, it allows hot swapping. This means that the drive can be pulled out and another device popped in while the OS is still active and the power is still on. It’s nice to see that HP has decided to utilize multi- format DVD burners in their notebooks. Especially since HP is one of the supporters of the +R/RW format.
Processor & Performance. At the heart of my nx. Intel’s new Pentium- M 7. CPU’s operating at 1. GHz, with 2. MB of L2 Cache & a Front- Side Bus @ 5. MHz. It was accompanied by 5. MB of DDR2 memory @ 4.
MHz and a 6. 0GB HDD @ 5. I found the 1. 7. GHz CPU a good balance between performance and battery life. The Pentium- M 1. GHz CPU allowed my nx. P4 2. 0. GHz desktop computer in Boot- up Times, PCMark. Super Pi scores and are listed in the chart below.
Even with all this computing power, I found that noise and heat was not a big issue. At first power on, the CPU fan would kick into high gear, but would quickly turn off. Once in the OS, the fan would run at a slower rate (while connected to AC), which was hardly noticeable in a quiet room. The fan kept the CPU at an average operating temperature of 4. C. At this temperature, I found that the system would get fairly warm on the underside of the unit. The warmest area of the notebook is on the top of the keyboard, just left of the center. This is where the graphics processor is located. It primarily uses passive cooling to keep the temperature down. Benchmarks. I put the nx. 82. I ran the tests twice with different configurations. First, with the default OS from the manufacturer, and second was on a manual load of the OS and only the drivers to make all hardware operational. Benchmark Utilities Used: I utilized all of the free demo versions available from each website, so the tests are limited to only the available options. System Configuration. HP Compaq nx. 82.

Intel Website. Audio, Bluetooth, LAN, Media Card Reader & Modem Drivers were all used from the HP Website. Other than the above listed drivers, no other drivers on the HP Support page were used. From the above tests, we can see that the original OS load is very bloated with utilities and applications running in the background, which reduced overall system performance. These performance numbers were achieved without any “tweaking” of the system settings. Keyboard/Touch Pad.
The full- sized keys on the keyboard were nicely spaced and provided just enough resistance. While typing, the keyboard felt solid and I did not notice any flexing. Typing was quiet.
