Compaq Evo N800 series

For those who crave computing power but also need portability, the Compaq Evo N800 is a good choice. In its core hardware it resembles the other desktop replacements reviewed here, with a 1.7-GHz P4-M processor, a 28GB hard drive, and a 15-inch display, but it's thinner and lighter. Measuring less than 2 inches from top to bottom and weighing only 7.3 pounds (travel weight), it's still too heavy for road warriors but not for infrequent flyers.
