HP Unveils Compaq 2230s Ultraportable

Last night, HP announced the Compaq 2230s, a 12.1-inch business notebook running on Intel’s new Centrino 2 platform. HP hasn’t announced a starting price yet, but given that it’s part of HP’s entry-level “s” line, we expect it to be pretty affordable. Thanks to the built-in DVD burner, it starts at 4.1 pounds, which is heavy for an ultraportable. Here’s what you get, spec-wise:

  • Intel Core 2 Duo CPU up to 2.8 GHz
  • 120/16/250/320GB SATA hard drive/5,400 rpm
  • Up to 4GB RAM
  • 4-cell battery
  • 12.1 inch display/1280 x 800 native resolution
  • Intel GMA 4500MHD, up to 384MB shared memory
  • Intel 802.11 draft n, Bluetooth 2.0
  • ExpressCard/34 slot, SD card reader
  • 3 USB ports, HDMI, VGA, Ethernet, modem, headphone, mic, optional Kensington lock slot
  • 3D accelerometer
  • Drive encryption
  • HP SpareKey
  • HP File Sanitizer
  • Fingerprint reader
  • 11.6 x 8.9 x 1.1 inches
  • Starts at 4.1 pounds
