HP Omnibook XT6050 Review

by Carla Thornton

- WHAT'S HOT: HP's latest low-end business notebook offers lots of bang for relatively few bucks. The Omnibook XT6050 mostly sticks to the tried-and-true Omnibook design: It has a relatively slim two-tone case, a good keyboard with touchpad lock, a modular bay on the front with a push-in, slide-out side release, and a relatively light weight of 6.5 pounds, including the power adapter and an 8X DVD-ROM drive. Without the power adapter and with a travel module instead of an optical drive, the XT6050 weighs just 5.4 pounds. The XT6050's other warm-swappable bay options--a combination optical drive, a SuperDisk drive, a Zip 250 drive, and a second 30GB hard drive--are the same ones that are used in all Omnibooks, which could be convenient for businesses who want to buy several notebooks and share the peripherals. The XT6050 made an impressive 4.5-hour showing in our battery tests, the longest time we've seen yet for an Omnibook. A quartet of application shortcut buttons adds one-touch convenience.
