A compatible docking station is required for the docking port to work. The company presents several models.

On the front are built-in stereo speakers and an SD card reader. The SD card reader can be used as a "lock", but I will mention that later.

There is another USB port on the back of the drive, a network card connector and a modem port.

On the back, the Kensington Lock, VGA Outputs and S-Outputs are conveniently located. Convenient and the power connector on the laptop, located in the back.

Input devices for HP Compaq 6910p laptop

For business notebooks, the most important criteria are the convenience of the input device and the ability to withstand the keyboard for many days of use.

The laptop is equipped with 87 standard keys. The standard layout just makes it possible to use it in touch typing. "Del" is located in the upper right corner, and shifts are above ctrl.

The keys have dimensions of 18 by 18 mm, the dimensions of the upper part are 14 by 15 mm, respectively. The advantages of a laptop over other models are two-line input keys. You can easily get used to the keyboard.

The keyboard is firmly attached to the laptop case. Recoil of keys is good, clear, noise is low.

The keys marked with blue lettering are striking. How to drown out the perception of the white key.

The touchpad is very easy to use. In particular, the area marked with vertical lines (scroll area).

An alternative is the trackpoint with a plastic blue cap. He moves the cursor by gently pressing the button. Consider no need to move your hand from the touchpad to the keyboard. The touchpad has two keys - left and right. Unfortunately, there is no such key that quickly scrolled through the material.

HP Compaq 6910p Laptop Screen

The HP Compaq 6910p is equipped with WXGA with a maximum resolution of 1280 by 800 pixels. If you need applications with multiple window openings, then you need a model with a higher screen resolution.

By measuring the brightness, we saw a good result. With 218 cd per square meter maximum, and 189 cd per square meter minimum. Based on this, we get a result of 86.7% - a pretty good result. Brightness of 203.6 cd / sq. meter is an average result pleasing to the eye.

The screen gives a good image, although some of its parameters are not encouraging. The black value is 1.41 cd per square meter (lowest brightness level is black). The contrast image is 155: 1.

The matte surface of the screen and maximum brightness are very important when working outdoors. But no matter how it is. With the adapter disconnected, the screen dims to 113.1 cd per meter per square meter. There is no possibility of increasing the brightness. Also, brightness control does not work (Fn + F9 / F10 keys). It is not clear whether the BIOS does not, or depends on the OS (Windows XP). Although the brightness sensor worked without interference. You can turn it off at any time.

Very small vertical viewing angle. At the slightest deviation from the vertical, the screen starts to whiten. But the horizontal viewing angle is larger. When using your laptop on the move, you should adjust the display from time to time.

Performance.

Intel's T9300 processor with a clock speed of 2.5GHz and 6MB of L2 cache is not bad specs for a laptop. Although it does not run on Intel Centrino 2, thus not expecting good results from it.

The integrated Intel GMA X3100 graphics card is good for office work. And if you want to test 3D engines or something else on it, then excuse me, it is limited in this.

There are big differences between an office laptop and 3D performance. This is shown in tests on programs such as: PC Mark 2005 and 3D Mark 2006.

A laptop with an integrated graphics card shows the same results as other laptops. It only loses on a large scale to other laptops that use an external video card. And then in the 3D Mark program. And in PC Mark has already shown itself from the other side, that is, better.

Onboard there are 2024 MB of RAM (2 strips of 1024 MB, DDR2 PC5300), all this represents a good system, in dual-channel mode. You can also put on board 4048 MB of memory, only you have to replace 2 slats of 1024 MB each. Because, it only has 2 SODIMM slots. And a 64-bit system to use the full potential of the RAM.

The laptop has a 250 GB 7200 rpm hard drive from Seagate. When tested in HDTune, it performed well. The hard disk has good access times (15.9ms) and data transfer rates.

Emissions from HP Compaq 6910p Notebook

Noise

The fan is not that loud, within 33 dB. not such a loud sound, not considered annoying.

Already when working with two cores, the sound becomes louder by 7-8 dB. But that rarely happens.

Temperature

The upper part of the laptop does not cause such a thermal hassle (no higher than 33.8 degrees). Here is the area next to the fan, which will cause you inconvenience (the temperature rises to 44.8 degrees). The latter can be attributed to kneeling work.

Sound

The HP Compaq 6910p is considered an office laptop.Only the sound of the built-in speakers differs from other laptops, albeit with low bass. Listening to the sound from the 3.5 mm input, the sound is normal. If you want great sound, then buy yourself a sound card.

Battery life

On the laptop web page, it is said that "the manufacturer will ensure the long-term performance of its products for business people." This has certainly not been tested. But it is known for certain that a laptop with a 55 Wh battery lasts about 5.5 hours. The test was in the mode with the minimum power consumption (the wireless network is disabled and the screen brightness is at a minimum).

When fully loaded (maximum brightness and wireless enabled) it lasts 112 minutes.

Test with WLAN and maximum brightness, the notebook showed excellent results - 255 minutes. If you watch movies from a DVD disc, then it shows the results corresponding to 200 minutes. So, you will not get bored on the road.

The manufacturer provides two external batteries with 8 and 12 cells. These batteries are connected through a separate entrance covered with a lid on the bottom side. If the weight bothers you, use a standard 4-cell battery.
