Here's a heavy-weight contender from Hewlett Packard with a middle-weight price tag. The DV4000 Pavilion is powered by the quickest M class processor from Intel, and is also equipped with an ATI Mobility Radeon X700 graphics card. Quality hardware like this places the HP DV4000 notebook squarely in the gaming arena of Acer's feature rich Ferrari 4000.

If you'reinto top-ten lists, those annual college rankings, and anythingelse that compares one thing to another - here's some news foryou from the laptop world. And for those of you looking for amidrange priced, high quality, feature-rich machine, listen up,too. The new DV4000 HP Pavilion might be right up your tech alley.

The dv4000 HP now comes armed with the 2.13 GHzPentium M 770, the fastest M class that Intel produces. Alsoin the mix is an ATI Mobility Radeon X700, which puts the newPavilion in the gaming league of Acer's Ferrari4000.

For a price in the mid $1000s range, the DV4000 HP laptop willbe hard to beat among multimedia notebooks geared toward gaming, videos, and music listening.The latter two functions are optimized in the Pavilion by the15.4-inch widescreen with optional BrightView, along withQuickPlay, which allows you to watch a DVD or play music withoutpowering up the computer.

Ports and peripheral-compatibility are high on this notebook'slist, as well. The HPdv4000 comes with a FireWire and four USB ports. Access any Flashperipherals with the 6-in-1 card reader. And listen to all ofyour music and movies with the booming Altec Lansing speakers onthe notebook's front end. Speaking of music, when you burn songswith the read-write DVD, you can also burn trippy images into theactual disc with the LightScribe feature.

With all good, though, must come some bad. The Pavilion dv4000series is no exception. Thanks in part to that vivid widescreen,the notebook tops out at a sumo-sized 6.6 pounds. Battery life is not the best out there either.

Is this enough to sink the Pavilion's reputation? Not at thatmid-$1000s range.
