The HP Compaq nx6125 notebook PC, which is expected to be available worldwide starting this month, offers mobility, advanced security features, ease of use and real business value to the small to mid-size business professional.

Turion is actually a mobile version of the Athlon 64 desktop processor, on the most significant changes being related to power consumption which in the case of the Turion is obviously smaller.

The standard version of nx6125 is fitted with ATI's Mobility Radeon X300, a 15 inch display, Turion ML-28 processor, 256MB of memory, a 40GB hard drive and an integrated 802.11b/g wireless chip from Broadcom. This version costs $999.
