Features

Processor : Intel Core 2 Duo P8400

What's Hot

Small and portable, built-in optical drive, very good keyboard

What's Not

Only 1GB RAM, would benefit from a slot-loading DVD burner, fingerprint reader is placed on the palm rest, no webcam

The Final Word

It has a few flaws, but the 2230s is a capable laptop for business users. It has good speed, plenty of security options, and it's a portable size, but it could use more RAM and some design tweaks.
