Compaq Evo N1015v Review

- WHAT'S HOT: Compaq's low-budget Evo N1015v scrapes the bottom in terms of notebook pricing, but it doesn't scrimp on features. For a reasonable $899, the N1015v delivers a roomy-enough 13.3-inch screen and 20GB hard drive. Anyone who needs a good travel notebook or who likes to lounge on the patio away from an outlet would be thrilled with this configuration's near-4-hour battery life. Its performance, meanwhile, would be welcome at any price: Driven by its 1.2-GHz mobile Athlon XP 1400+ processor, this N1015v turned in a PC WorldBench 4 score of 90--putting it only about 10 percent behind the average 2-GHz Pentium 4-M notebook we've tested.
