    CNET Review

    March 30, 2007

    The Good: Improved design; antiglare display with sharp resolution; options for 802.11 draft-n, EV-DO, and HSDPA wireless; great-sounding speakers; strong components for the price.

    The Bad: Lagged on Office productivity test; has somewhat heavy travel weight; lacks an ExpressCard slot.

    The Bottom Line: The HP Compaq 6515b notebook computer offers enterprise-level features and decent performance at a price that's friendly to small business.
