Compaq Evo

Solid performance; long battery life; reasonable price; includes both touchpad and pointing stick.

MultiPort creates a bulge in case lid; no FireWire port; battery life isn't as good as that of other Pentium M notebooks.

The Compaq Evo N620c offers solid performance and an acceptable, if mundane range of features for a thin-and-light notebook. It's excellent for business travelers craving long battery life.
