'Cost-conscious consumers and small business owners will find the HP Compaq nx6125 laptop ($1,249 as tested) very appealing not only for its price, but for its solid performance and ample features.'

'Given its relatively inexpensive price, this notebook has great features for the money.'

'A docking station ($279) and port replicator ($179) are optional, as is a viewing stand ($79), which raises your system up to eye level for more comfortable desktop use.'

'The system is fully-loaded with connectivity options, including both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and the 15.4in. widescreen display is also impressive.'

'Connectivity options are extensive to say the least, given that accompanying the four USB 2.0 ports, single FireWire, S-Video, 4-in-1 memory card reader, modem, 10/100 Ethernet, PS/2, serial and parallel ports is the now thankfully almost standard 802.11 b/g wireless adapter and Bluetooth.'
