HP Japan presents their new line of notebooks which don't have any touchpad but a point stick, Compaq NC2400. How many people will actually use the small blue stick to navigate around the screen? Not me, I'm using a Dell Latitude D600 which comes with a point stick as well but I just have never used it. The NC2400 sports a 12.1-inch WXGA TFT LCD screen with resolutions of 1280 x 800 and the whole system is powered by ultra-low voltage edition Intel Core Solo U1400 1.2GHz processor running on Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition. It also features 512MB DDR2-SDRAM, Mobile Intel 945Gm Express chipset and 60GB 4200rpm HDD with SMART capability. Conveniently, a fingerprint reader is also integrated for quickly logging into your system or Web-based accounts. For additional peace of mind, the nifty system has a Trusted Platform Module (TPM). TPM is a hardware component that encrypts passwords and security keys that are of cos better than the competitive protection Microsoft Windows alone offer. On the connectivity side, it has a built-in fingerprint sensor, Gigabit Ethernet LAN, IEEE 802.11b/g wireless LAN and Bluetooth. Not just that, it also has a built-in fingerprint certification sensor. On the surface, it has a Type 2 PC card slot, IEEE 1394 FireWire, two USB 2.0 and mini D-Sub 15 pin. The brightest spot in the NC4200's performance is its stellar battery life. HP offers three battery configurations: a three-cell, six-cell, and nine-cell battery. Compaq NC2400 weighs 1.29kg with the size of 285 x 213 x 25 mm. It is now available in the primary Jaapn market with the floating base configuration price of 157,500Yen which is about USD1,358.
