The HP Compaq 6820s does not rely on silly gimmicks to make this a great notebook, HP have decided that going for a conservative design was the way to go. The laptop itself can handle itself in this modern age of computing, but the lack of extra features makes it a little tough to sell.

The weight of the laptop is very impressive; just 3kg which is great considering that it has a 17-inch screen. One great sell though has to be the battery life, around 191 minutes, perfect for those business users.

The HP Compaq 6820s comes with a 2.0GHz Intel Celeron 550 Processor and 2048MB of RAM. The notebook comes with a 160GB hard drive as well as a dedicated graphics card from ATi, allowing complex multimedia presentations run smoothly.

The notebook comes complete with Windows Vista Basic Operating System and a DVD/CD-RW combo LightScribe DVD±RW SuperMulti with Double Layer optical drive. The HP Compaq 6820s 2GHz 17-inch Widescreen Notebook has three USB ports as well as SecureDigital Multi Media Card.

Woot are currently offering this laptop for $529.99.
