HP Compaq 6535b Notebook PC
$779.00
Released July, 2008
The Pros:16:10 aspect ratio--very rare in modern laptops. Display is bright and reduces glare fairly well. Headphone port is located at the front of the unit for easier reach.
The Cons:Very dated hardware options (AMD Turion and Athlon processor options, DDR2 RAM). Boxy, clunky design is both unappealing and less functional than sleeker laptops. Very heavy for a 14" laptop at over 5 lbs.
