64 Reasons to Buy a HP Pavilion DV8000Z |
|
The 64-bit
craze is steadily and rapidly picking up steam, as the vanguard
of laptop users, especially the graphic artist ilk, are starting
to grasp the benefits of the cutting-edge processing
technology. Take the new HP Pavilion dv8000z with the AMD Turion 64
ML-37 processor and its 2 GHz and 1MB cache. It typifies the new
class of laptops that can juggle massive 3-D modeling and animation software,
video editing and composition applications, not to mention
broadband, e-mail programs, Acrobat and other everyday but
memory-gobbling chores. For graphic artists and other high-end software users, the 64-bit chip is gaining currency by the minute, as more and more software developers are putting out 64-bit versions. Animator software maker SoftImage recently put out a 64-bit version of its program. Epsom offers 64-bit drivers for its printers. |

Even Microsoft, the software behemoth, has 64 bits on the brain. Its Beta Windows
Vista will be a 64-bit operating system, and it already released
Windows Media Encoder in a 64-bit version.
And if you haven't heard yet, more bits is better bits. A 64-bit
setup could speed up processing times, which translates in the
business world to more productivity and greater cash streams. A
graphics job that may take days on today's standard 32-bit
system, for instance, could take only hours on a laptop like
the Pavilion dv8000z. Turion processing technology shouldn't be the only reason you choose the new Pavilion. For graphic designers and other artists, the bold, crisp 17-inch WSXGA BrightView widescreen will come in handy, as will the ATI Express Radeon 200M 128MB graphics card. And the laptop double-dips on both hard drive space (with 160 GB in two hard drives and 1.0GB of RAM in two 512MB setups). The notebook is also loaded down with ports, such as an express card slot, 32-bit card bus, an IEEE Firewire, four USBs, and S-video out link. And we really mean loaded down. The HP DV8000Z weighs in at more than eight pounds. So you may want to park this thing at a desk while you rage with its 64 bits.
