Overview

HP Compaq 6715b

Editors rating
Rating: 7.2
Verdict

This AMD Turion 64 X2-based system has an excellent 15.4in. screen and a usable keyboard, and delivers solid performance. It's an attractively priced business workhorse that's perhaps best suited to desktop replacement duties.

Typical price

£ 555
