Because we know that you can never get tired of reading laptop specs, we have five more HP models to drop on you, including the waif-like 12-inch nc2400 (pictured) which weighs in at a mere 2.8-pounds. All five of these Compaq-branded notebooks are targeted at business users, and all but the 15.4-inch (WXGA or WXSGA+) nx7400 series -- which can also be equipped with a Celeron M -- sport one of several Core Duo or Solo flavors. Graphics here range from integrated (the 12.1-inch nc4400) to ATI Mobility Radeon X1300 (14.1-inch, WXGA or WXGA+ nc6400) to an ATI Mobility FireGL V5200 card available in certain configurations of the15.4-inch nw8440 series. All these machines offer WiFi and a minimum of 512MB RAM and a 40GB HDD out of the box, with some models sporting extras like a fingerprint reader, 7200RPM hard drive, and LightScribe dual-layer DVD burner. No prices are known for the nc2400 or the nc4400, which are coming on May 22nd, but the other models are available immediately with prices starting at $1,549 for the nc6400, $740 for the nx7400, and $1,599 for the nc8400 series.Read- nc2400

Dude, engadget, didn't you find the nw8440's 15.4-inch WUXGA screen noteworthy? I don't know of anyone else offering such a display, do you?

The Dell Inspiron 8600 has WUXGA maybe?

The nc6400 spec sheet (http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/pscmisc/vac/us/product_pdfs/nc6400.pdf ) has three options for the OS, XP Pro, XP Home and FreeDOS does this meant it will actually be possible not to pay for yet another Windows license when buying this laptop?

Re #3.
I don't see the Inspiron 8600 listed in any Dell division. The Inspiron 9400, XPS M1710, and Precision M90 are apparently available with 17" WUXGA displays. That's a lower dpi, and more to carry.
The Latitude D810 and D820, and Precision M65 and M70 claim to be available with "15.4" Wide screen WXGA display or WSGXA+ & WUXGA active matrix (TFT) UltraSharp displays", but there are configurations with 15.4 WUXGA listed right now.

re. #5, that was supposed to be "there areN'T ANY configurations with 15.4" WUXGA listed right now".
