HP Pavilion N3290
WHAT'S HOT: This $2399 Pentium III-500 version of HP's consumer model (the Pavilion Notebook PC) combines above-average sound with external buttons for convenient DVD and CD playing. You can program the touchpad buttons to launch applications, and the keyboard is quiet and comfortable. Parts are easy to access; the hard drive is locked in by one screw.
WHAT'S NOT: Calls to HP's technical support staff are on your nickel, and the company charges you for this support after three years. The headphone port sits inconveniently at the back of the unit, and the translucent-blue CD controls are hard to read and too shallow to press easily.
WHAT ELSE: With a PC WorldBench 2000 score of 109, the Pavilion's performance is average for a PIII-500 notebook. Likewise, its 2:52 battery life is mediocre.
BEST USE: The Pavilion N3290 would make a nice personal machine for a music-loving desk jockey or for someone with money to spend on a fast processor, a big screen, and a DVD-ROM drive.
