Power packed

Style and performance combine seamlessly with the Compaq Presario B2800 notebook computer from Hewlett-Packard.

This laptop weighs 2.15kg and measures 30.98 x 25.4 x 3.30cm, but features a 14.1-inch widescreen display. It also ups the ante for power-consumption efficiency and multitasking processing power.

The 'piano-white' chassis houses Intel's Centrino Mobile system chips, up to 2 megabytes of Level 2 cache, 512-megabyte DDR2 memory, an 80-gigabyte hard-disk drive, ATI's Mobility Radeon X600SE graphics cards, 4-in-1 digital memory card reader, Bluetooth module and six-cell lithium battery. Prices start at $12,680, with a year's limited warranty.
