HP Pavilion dv9341eu review

 

A desktop replacement with impressive features

Good storage capacity ; Runs quickly

Mouse buttons felt loose ; Runs very hot

An impressive machine, but lacks the power to be a true desktop replacement

HP Pavilion dv9398ea review

 

Is there more to this HP than its interesting design?

Comfortable to use ; Reasonably portable ; Decent set of features

Average build quality

A well-specified laptop that is able to stand out from its rivals

HP Pavilion DV9341EU laptop

 

HP has been something of a revelation in recent months, releasing a number of great notebooks that have hit different price points but have always hit their target market firmly and squarely. The HP Pavilion dv9341eu offers good value for the price and...

Great price, nice big screen

Not powerful enough, ageing GPU

The HP Pavilion dv9341eu offers good value for the price and its build quality will than satisfy most people. However, don’t come to this notebook expecting it to be anything special.

HP Pavilion dv9790ea review

 

The HP Pavilion dv9790ea is the top of the range of HP's Entertainment series of laptops, a large-screen model that would make a good desktop replacement model if you haven't got space for a full-size PC.

The HP dv9790ea offers decent performance, but its benchmark results were below expectation for the CPU/GPU/RAM, and a lack of HD facilities limit its future entertainment potential. However, the asking price of £1,299 is reasonable for a large-screen...

HP Pavilion dv9800 (dv9821TX)

 

For work or play, this notebook is great

Blu-ray drive, HDMI, strong processor performance

Screen not full high definition, weak graphics card

For users wanting a home entertainment centre or a powerful desktop replacement to work with, the dv9800 is a very strong contender.

HP Pavilion dv9018TX Entertainment Notebook PC (RL766PA)

 

One of the upper tier Core 2 Duo notebooks in HP's newest selection of entertainment machines, the HP Pavilion dv9018TX Entertainment Notebook PC come...

HDMI, remote control, Altec Lansing speakers, full size keyboard with numberpad

No DVI, 17in display

If you need a machine with a 17in display that will play your movies, download your photos, store your music, play games and has connectivity that will work both on the road and in your living room, the Pavilion dv9018TX will do a good job.

HP's Pavilion dv9000t media laptop

 

HP's latest model of their media power laptop lineup, the dv9000 series, now has one more option for users to configure when they go to order theirs: Core 2 Duo. It's not as though we haven't seen enough of these Core 2 Duo machines already this week...

HP Pavilion dv9700t review: HP Pavilion dv9700t

 

HP Pavilion dv9700t

Attractive design; bright, crisp display; Blu-ray drive; thorough set of audiovisual controls, ports, and connections; long battery life; touch pad power button; fingerprint reader.

Mediocre gaming performance; HDMI port takes the place of one USB port; decent, but not great, speakers.

The HP Pavilion dv9700t doesn't have enough graphics power to satisfy gaming enthusiasts, but it is a great choice for home users who don't want to spend a fortune on a Blu-ray equipped entertainment notebook.

HP dv9000z (Vista Ultimate) review: HP dv9000z (Vista Ultimate)

 

Beautiful design; bright, crisp display; complete set of AV controls, ports, and connections, including an HD DVD drive; long battery life; touch pad on/off button; excellent software.

Display resolution could be higher; media controls provide audible feedback when pressed.

The HD-friendly, feature-laden HP Pavilion dv9000z offers a high-end entertainment experience without the high-end price tag of competitive models.
