Attention, graphics pros: The 6-pound Compaq nw8240 combines portable computing with a 15.4-inch 1920-by-1200-resolution (WUXGA) wide screen powered by ATI's powerful Mobility Fire GL V5000 graphics chip. The hitch: Its high resolution makes small fonts hard to read. And this notebook isn't cheap. My test configuration listed for $3100, not including business applications. Nevertheless, if you need a wide workspace for graphics or for displaying big spreadsheets, the nw8240's wide screen delivers, offering 20 percent more information than a standard 15-inch UXGA screen can.
