Overview

Hi-Grade Ultinote M6400

Editors rating
Rating: 7.5

Despite Intel's warnings about the use of desktop Pentium 4 chips in notebooks, Hi-Grade has designed a system that delivers very good performance and a good feature set with no apparent problems. As far as we can tell, this notebook looks excellent value for money.
