What's Hot

Business-friendly design, dedicated graphics chip, spacious display and keyboard

What's Not

Business-friendly design, underperformed in WorldBench 6, a little on the chunky side

The Final Word

The Compaq 6730s (FV305PA) is the Dunlop of business notebooks. Like the famous shoe, it's plain, workmanlike and reliable, yet also incredibly dull. If you're on the lookout for a basic business laptop with some gaming capabilities, it will get the job done.
