Good Points
Very good battery life
Excellent keyboard compared to my Compaq Presario 1550 and my Gateway Solo 2150
Bad Points
I haven't got any complaints, except a minor issue - no media controls
General Comments
My HP NX6110 laptop is configured with Pentium mobile 740 1.73ghz processor, 1GB RAM, DVD RW/DL, and the travel battery that mounts on the bottom.
I love it! It's the best laptop I've owned, for my purposes. I am not a gamer. I use mine for work. I am an IT sales person, and I also use it for image capture for my astro-imaging with a long exposure CCD camera, and I also process my deep sky images with Photoshop. So far I am very pleased. I don't think it can be beat for value.
Comparing it to my Presario 1550, the Presario might have a slight edge in power, but I can't really see any difference, and the Presario has a faster chip (P4 2.2ghz). It was sold as a desktop replacement, but it really sucks for battery life and the fan almost always runs, the base gets very hot and it is not too comfortable on the lap for long.
The NX6110 is very quiet and runs cool.
