HP was so excited about this new Compaq 2330s that they announced it a whole 14 days ahead of schedule. It was originally set to be announced on the 19th but better early than late I guess.
The 2330s is a budget notebook PC for small business, it weighs only 4 pounds and has a nice little look to it. Kind of reminded me of the look the old ThinkPads had, a lot of people thought that look was ugly but I actually like that old look.
I had a chance to play with it for about 5 minutes last week, and while it isn’t the greatest business notebook you can get it is perfect for small businesses that need a mobile work force such as real estate agents and it’s also great for schools in my opinion.
I will get you pics of this machine as soon as I can.
