HP Compaq 6910p Full Review

[ZT3000!]

What the hell is the point of putting two speakers on one side of the notebook and calling it "stereo sound"?

Granted, this is a small notebook, so even if the speakers were placed on opposing sides of the computer there wouldn't be a whole lot of separation going on, but still.

Oh well, that's what headphones are for as marmion stated.

*EDIT* Great review by the way. I really like the look of HP's new business models. No nonsense and tough looking.

Thanks, I'll update the review to reflect this. Quite weird though, having both speakers on the right.

The speakers are placed as such, but there are actually two of them, thus producing a stereo sound. Shine a torch through the mesh and you should see two holes on the right.

Yes, you're right. I looked into Maintenance and Service Manual and the placement of the speakers is the same as on nc6400. There are two speakers, both of them are placed to the right of the SD media slot. The QuickSpecs are not accurate in this regard.

Nice review, marmion!

I wished we could get such a nice config in AU. The options here are pretty crazy, you either get a T7100 or a T7700, with nothing in between and the T7700 option is waaay too expensive. We also don't seem to have the X2300 option here so far, only the Intel graphics. Guess it's time to look into the channel partner configuration catalogue for the RCTOs.

I bought it from C1 Shopping Mall, one of the many online computer shops in NZ. Harvey Norman/Noel Leeming etc. don't sell business laptops (and they'd rip you off big time anyway). I'm in Auckland as well.

Nice review. Could you go through it with Lavalys Everest and have a look at the monitor/display section? I'd like to know which manufacturer and model did HP use in your laptop.
