Compaq released the Evo n600c in 2001, before the company's merger with Hewlett-Packard. The Compaq Evo notebook n600c boasted a 3-hour battery life, 802.11b or Bluetooth wireless capability and a Pentium 3 processor. Business executives considered this 5.2-pound laptop a good find.
With the merger of Compaq and Hewlett-Packard and the release of new technology, the company no longer makes and distributes the Compaq Evo n600c. You can still purchase new and used systems online or from computer retailers who may still have a few in inventory.
If your company has purchased or is considering purchasing a Compaq Evo n600c notebook PC, consider these 3 options:
1. Buy a new or used HP Compaq Evo n600c from large online retailers. Find cheap options that you can upgrade yourself after purchasing a system.
2. Update your existing model with Compaq n600c memory, video card, sound card and other hardware and accessories.
3. Choose another notebook similar to the Compaq Evo notebook n600c. Look for the models that have replaced the n600c.
