Expert review by : tech.co.uk staff (techradar.com)
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
Expert review by : tech.co.uk staff (techradar.com)
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 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.

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...

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.

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 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
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.
Expert review by : Michelle Thatcher (cnet.com)
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.
