DV4000 HP PavilionIf you're into top-ten lists, those annual college rankings, and anything else that compares one thing to another - here's some news for you from the laptop world. And for those of you looking for a midrange 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 GHz Pentium M 770, the fastest M class that Intel produces. Also in the mix is an ATI Mobility Radeon X700, which puts the new Pavilion in the gaming league of Acer's Ferrari 4000. For a price in the mid $1000s range, the DV4000 HP laptop will be hard to beat among multimedia notebooks geared toward gaming, videos, and music listening. The latter two functions are optimized in the Pavilion by the 15.4-inch widescreen with optional BrightView, along with QuickPlay, which allows you to watch a DVD or play music without powering up the computer. Ports and peripheral-compatibility are high on this notebook's list, as well. The HP dv4000 comes with a FireWire and four USB ports. Access any Flash peripherals with the 6-in-1 card reader. And listen to all of your music and movies with the booming Altec Lansing speakers on the notebook's front end. Speaking of music, when you burn songs with the read-write DVD, you can also burn trippy images into the actual disc with the LightScribe feature. With all good, though, must come some bad. The Pavilion dv4000 series 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 that mid-$1000s range. By Matthew Brodsky Wednesday, September 28, 2005 |
