It’s easy to get into the details of the technical specifications of a notebook, but a large part of buying a great laptop for you is one with the right design gets. And the HP EliteBook 8440p is a ripper. It compares favorably with top-end business laptop from Dell and Lenovo. The magnesium alloy body feels incredibly sturdy and looks beautiful. The LED-backlit display is held in place by metal hinges and locks the notebook has a locking system. Embedded in the ring are a webcam and a keyboard light.

The display has a nice matte finish (great if you work under fluorescent lighting). It has no exceptional viewing angles, but images look crisp and clear.

The EliteBook 8440p weighs just over 2kg, so it’s not an ultraportable notebook. But given HP Data Sheet is designed to authenticate “the tough military standards (MIL-STD-810G) for vibration, dust, humidity, altitude to meet, and high temperatures, we are not surprised, and the weight feels reassuring (we the love of her balance). The keyboard is exceptional, with full-sized keys that are comfortable to type. We wish the keys had one more travel, but this is a quibble.

Above the keyboard are touch-sensitive buttons for the touchpad and wireless, the volume off and start a web browser. There is also a button that displays a menu of HP software (such as HP 3D Drive Guard to protect your data if you knock the laptop) to install. We could not find any way to this key to something useful, which, frankly, is bizarre to do remap. We loved the location of the fingerprint reader – on the palm of the extreme right – because out of the way and you’re unlikely to hit it with your thumb when using the touchpad.

The touchpad is a little tight, but has a nice smooth texture. If you’re like us you prefer the joystick-like pointing device located in the middle of the keyboard. It’s great when you’re writing, but public transport, and it has two special buttons. (Some people might prefer the rounded end of a trackpoint device on a Lenovo ThinkPad rather than the spherical end to the EliteBook, but we did not mind.)

The notebook is not only the beauty chassis deep: inside there are parts that need to take any road warrior happy as long as they are not involved in specialized tasks (such as 3D design) or playing high end games (stick to Solitaire) . The notebook features an Intel Core i5 540m CPU which runs at 2.53 GHz and 2 GB of DDR3 RAM. The CPU has two physical cores, so you will have four virtual cores to play with in total with Hyper-Threading. Turbo Boost can jack the clock speed automatically to 3.066GHz. Frankly, most office productivity tasks that require this – the multiple cores are much more important because they make multitasking a breeze.

If we ran WorldBench 6 test suite, the notebook scored an excellent 107. The MP3 encoding and the Blender 3D rendering test lasted 58 seconds and 54 seconds respectively to complete, which is not particularly impressive – these results are slightly slower than the Medion Akoya MD98330 budget, a i3 Core notebook for home users. 3DMark06 returned a low score of 1770, this is a surprising result of the integrated Intel graphics card (although still lower than many non-business notebooks have integrated graphics). Modern games are virtually excluded – hardly a surprise for a notebook that SRS BSN means – but you’ll be able to high-definition video viewing.

We tested the battery by turning off energy-saving, turning the screen brightness and Wi-Fi option, then looping a SD video. The notebook lasted 2 hours 26min. It’s not a bad result for a laptop of this size packaging decent components under the hood. 15in Probook HP 6540b only took 2 hours 13min, while Dell’s smaller, 13in Vostro V13 lasted 2 hours 1min.

Around the edges you almost everything you want from a business notebook: four USB 2.0 ports (one double and one eSATA port), an ExpressCard/54 slot, FireWire, a dial-up modem, microphone and headphone jacks, a SD card slot, Gigabit Ethernet (there is also 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth), a smart card reader – deep breath – a Kensington lock, a DVD burner and a VGA (D-sub) terminal and display port for connecting of an external monitor.

Fri admit that we fall in love with this notebook, we heard strains of Barry White play every time we came near. But we think you’ll probably love: the beautiful appearance while maintaining a functional design, and offers almost everything you could want from a business notebook. Check it out in store and prepare to be beaten. You cap of nearly $ 2,700, but for a business notebook of this caliber we think is a fairly reasonable proposition.

Design

Compaq designs are indicative of the modern era, such as metals are synonymous with trendsetters such as Apple and Asus. The 8440w uses the brushed metal cover, which not only sleek and stylish, but it’s also tough as nails. That’s because HP EliteBooks undergo a series of modified military tests, including heat, cold, dust and moisture. The 8440w is definitely a solid machine than the Lenovo T410 and Toshiba Tecra R10-S4401, and looks better, too. At 5.6 pounds, it is marginally heavier than the 5.5-pound Lenovo T410-both of which came with huge 9-cell batteries. Although portable, they are not the kind of business laptops that you want to travel a lot with, lighter 14-inch systems like the Lenovo ThinkPad T400 (3.9 lbs) and the Toshiba R10-S4401 (4.2 lbs) not considering almost as much.

The houses a 8440w 14-inch widescreen display is large enough for the system to make your primary PC. It is the same size as the one found on the Lenovo T410, with the exception of 1600-by-900 resolution is slightly higher. The T410 uses a 1440 by 900 resolution, which still falls into the WSXGA + spectrum. Visually, there are very few differences between the two screens.

The user experience is satisfactory. The 8440w has a full-size keyboard, but the keys are a bit mushy when pressed. The typing experience is not as responsive as the one on the Lenovo T410, which, in my opinion, has few peers, but PCs like the Dell Latitude E4300 come close. The 8440w comes with two pointing devices, a pointing stick and a touchpad, although the stylus (eraser mouse) was stiff at times and the touchpad seemed small after using the one on the Lenovo T410. The rubbery buttons are soft and non-resistant.

Features

The words “fully loaded” summarizes the 8440w’s feature set, directly comparable to the T410. It has four USB ports, FireWire, a ExressCard slot, a media card reader, display port, modem jacks and VGA out. Both business laptops have an internal DVD burner drives with an option to Blu-ray, and they both use 7200rpm drives with 320GB capacity. But the model we reviews has a 500GB HDD. The 8440w is loaded into the wireless section and, using the latest Intel 802.11n Wi-Fi cards, Bluetooth and 3G modems (Gobi 2000). A 3-year warranty is another important function that should not be forgotten, as the T410 starts with a 1-year warranty.

HP sells this “pre-configured” systems, which leaves very little room for change. For example, if you downgrade to a slower processor or upgrade to a SSD drive, the starting price will change dramatically to more than $ 2,500 instead of $ 2,000. The Lenovo T410, on the other hand, is highly configurable.

Performance

Performance seekers will find this laptop configuration impeccable. It runs on a 2.67GHz Intel Core i7 640M processor and 4GB DDR3 memory, which is faster than 2.53 GHz Intel Core Lenovo T410 i5 CPU 540m. Lenovo, on the other hand, lets you use the same Core i7 upgrade option for $ 120 more. Because of the faster processor, 8440w took top honors in the Cinebench R10 (9254). In PCMark Vantage, but it scored 6690, which surpassed Lenovo T410 with a score of 7315 in overall performance. In video encoding tests, the 8440w hit the Lenovo T410 with 4 seconds. The Dell E4300 Core i7 will receive treatment in a few weeks, so I will hold off to compare with the other two.

Since the Lenovo T410 and 8440w workstation use similar video chipsets Nvidia Quadro their 3DMark06 scores are almost identical (4182 vs. 4178, respectively). The application in a graphical workstation, is not in 3D gaming, but rather in ISV (Independent Software Vendor) certification that the stability of commercial CAD applications protection. This configuration comes with a 93WH (9-cell) battery and slightly smaller would fall at the mercy of the power-draining Core i7 processor. The 8440w scored 7:34 minutes in MobileMark 2007 tests, which beat the Lenovo T410 by at least two hours (5:34). HP sells a 55Wh (6-cell) battery, which is available in an alternative “pre-configured” model. I have tested the 8440w and only managed a score of 3 hours and 46 minutes.

About $ 200 separates the HP EliteBook 8440w and Lenovo ThinkPad T410. Faster Intel Core i7 processor and a 3-year warranty justifies the higher price on the HP, the corporate laptops are champions when it comes to performance and feature sets loaded. The 8440w, on the one hand, got more battery life from the 9-cell battery and is a more durable laptop-based building materials. The Lenovo T410, however, has a better user experience and is more flexible with configuration options. You can not go wrong with this machine, but the Lenovo T410 still has the competitive edge.

The Envy 1917 is slim enough that you could not think at first that he qualifies as a true desktop replacement machine. At just 1.25 inches thick and 7.5 pounds, this is an impressively sleek machine. The laser-etched lid and the chassis, both resisting aluminum bronze, shouting sustainability, fingerprints, and hint at the high-end components lurking underneath. The keyboard deck is clear aluminum, dark bronze, following the motive. As with the cover, it has a dotted texture that comes from an etching method we have seen only Envy notebooks. The left wrist rest gets very warm, however, even mild use. (On the right was cool.)

The backlit keyboard and Chiclet dedicated number pad are very comfortable and pleasant to type on. The well spread, flat-top keys to someone with slim-to-medium-sized fingers. (The keys might be a bit small for people with larger fingers, though.) The keys are hard plastic with a good vertical travel for a notebook and a nice tactile response. Also, we want the media playback and display functions are swapped with the Function features. (Not at all confusing, we know!) Translation: What this means is that instead of hitting a key combination of Fn + F7 to decrease the volume, so you just hit F7 to decrease the volume. If you ever need a system like the F7 key to activate, you then would use the key combo.

The huge touchpad (it measures nearly 5 inches diagonal) offered unparalleled precision with the cursor. The pad has an integrated mouse buttons, so the pad is actually a large button with lines painted on the button near it. We liked the large size and smooth feel, which does not produce any drag.

The pad can also perform certain tasks, multi-finger, for example using two fingers to scroll. This worked well, but not great. The path does not inertia scrolling, like what Apple provides on its MacBooks and other products. (Inertia scrolling is when you quickly flick your fingers and watch the screen scroll quickly, depending on how fast you cut it.) We also had some trouble getting our two fingers to register on a web page so the page does not scroll when it should have. You can rotate pictures with two fingers, pinch-zoom, and this worked well in our tests. The Synaptics touchpad applet that HP bundled with the system indicated that we could three finger movements as possible, we tried but did not work. Generally we would classify the multi-touch experience as picky.

The full-HD screen was great for playing Blu-ray movies, and the viewing angles were simply the best we’ve ever seen in a laptop. In fact, we could see the whole picture no matter how far from the center of the viewing angle. If the front of the screen at all, you can see what’s playing on, without loss of color. Glare was very noticeable in this glossy screen, but that’s to be expected from a media-centric machine.

Listening to the media was a good experience in the Envy 17, thanks to the audio Beats (Beats high-end audio software used by the artist Dr. Dre, exclusive to HP notebooks.) Volume was very strong, and the speakers were much stronger than what you usually get from a notebook. As we heard more bass than usual from the laptop speakers, this system was a bit lacking in that department.

The port selection on the Envy 17 is generous. Along the left, you’ll find a VGA port, a mini DisplayPort, and an HDMI port, all for exporting to an external monitor. You can do all three at once, thanks Eyefinity ATI’s multi-display technology, which allows you to connect to three external displays, which is made possible by the onboard ATI Radeon graphics chipset. Also on the left is an eSATA / USB combo port for connecting an external hard drive, a USB 3.0 port and a headphone / microphone combo jack (for a headset when making VoIP calls), and a more standard headphone jack. That’s plenty of connectivity per se, but on the right, you’ll find two USB 2.0 ports, a five-format memory card slot, a power jack and a Kensington cable lock slot. We were also pleased to have a slot-loading Blu-ray drive, which is rarely seen in notebooks. (Almost all Blu-ray drives in laptops we’ve seen so far clunkier tray-loading drives.)

Another nice extra is the HP TrueVision HD Webcam, which produced excellent images for video chats. On our side, skin tones the camera looked a little red, but the person on the other hand, said the picture is crystal clear (we were connected via Ethernet), and she did not think we looked at all red. The camera captures images at a maximum resolution of 640×480, which seemed low for an HD webcam. The images looked pretty good, though, even when blown up to full screen size. We did notice some noise and motion blur in the video recording, but not enough to really complain about. It handled low light surprisingly well, we could see fine with just the subject face the light of the screen.

Wireless connectivity options are a bit limited on this laptop with only Bluetooth and 802.11n radios included, but given the size of this notebook, support for mobile WiMAX broadband or probably would have been overkill. We do not expect a lot of 17-inch notebooks see daily commutes.

Now the fun part: the performance. The Envy 17-supported by its quad-core 1.6-GHz Intel Core i7 CPU Q72 and 6GB of DDR3 memory performed very well on our tests. On our PCMark Vantage test, a measure of the overall system performance, the Envy 17 fluctuated around the average scores we have seen from the desktop replacement laptops, with scores of 5.849 on the 32-bit version of the test (the average is 6289) and 6324 on the 64-bit Edition (6288 average). Perhaps more importantly, it helps beat two of its closest competitors, both priced just $ 100 less, the Acer Aspire 8943G (scored 5969 on the 64-bit version of the test), and the Asus Republic of Gamers G73JH (which yielded a much lower 3936 on the same test).

Specific testing the CPU, we run different encoding tests, which include the transcoding of a standard video clip in Windows Media Encoder (WME) and converting 11 standard MP3 files to AAC format in iTunes. The system did well on both tests. It took 3 minutes and 10 seconds to complete the test task in WME, the two competitors finished in 4:00 (for the Acer Aspire 8943G) and 3:53 (for Asus). In the iTunes test, the times were a little closer, with the Envy 17 completing the process in 2:59. Here, the Asus system beat it by 5 seconds (which is essentially a tie) and the Acer Aspire brought up the rear at 3:50.

A final test we run is CPU Cinebench 10, all of the cores (in this case, four) of the processor load. Again, the Envy 17 beat the similarly priced competition, with scores of 8425 (on the 32-bit version of the test) and 10,250 (for 64-bit). The Asus Republic of Gamers system came in second in the 32-bit test (8134), but the Acer is second on the 64-bit test (9709). Generally these are very good scores. They indicate that you are able to handle large images, multi-tasking and doing a lot of productivity tasks without spending much time at all watching the little blue circle to do somersaults.

Moving from the CPU to the graphics chip: We run a series of graphical tests. Envy the 17′s powerful ATI Mobility Radeon 5850 chipset, with its own dedicated gigabyte of memory, thankfully blasted through our 3DMark06 test, DirectX 9 graphics performance measures. Here, the Envy 17 struggled to keep pace with the Asus Republic of Gamers system, but easily lost the Acer, providing scores of 11,986 to 1,024 x 768 resolution and 9368 at its native resolution of 1,920 x1, 080. (The Asus ROG edges of the Envy 17 with scores of 12,526 and 10,927 in the same resolution, the Acer never cracked 10,000.)

To get a better idea of how the Envy 17 would perform in a real-world gaming scenario, we put it through its paces with one of our standard test games, Company of Heroes. All we saw frame rates were very playable. In our DirectX 9 Company of Heroes run of the test, 140 frames per second (fps) managed at its native resolution. DirectX 10, the score dropped to 50.4fps, which is still excellent. That’s on a level with the Asus Republic of Gamers machine within 1fps was for both tests. The Acer Aspire did not come close to these scores. The numbers of Envy just the $ 4,000 configuration we tested Malibal Satori, who only managed 91.3fps and 31fps at these settings.

Typically for a large, powerful notebook, the Envy does not offer much in the way of battery life. It turned out unceremoniously when playing our test DVD (The Matrix) 1 hour and 42 minutes into the movie. That means you, Äôll want to travel with the power brick, which unfortunately is almost 6 inches long and about 3 inches wide. Remember that all it gets warm when the notebook is in heavy use.

HP loads the system with many useful software goodies and not much bloatware. Take the Synaptics touchpad applet, for example, lets you tweak various presets for the touchpad. There also HP aos, aos Beats control, and full versions of Corel PaintShop Pro and VideoStudio Pro X3 X3 for image and video editing. You also get Roxio, aos 2.0 CinemaNow for playback of DVDs and CyberLink DVD Suite. Oddly enough, our system did, AOT with the near-ubiquitous trial version of Microsoft Office, but you can get a copy of Microsoft Office 2010 Starter Edition, included at no extra cost to get. As for the warranty, HP supports the Envy 17 with an impressive two years limited hardware plan, Äîtwice as long as the industry standard.

HP Envy 1917 ISN, AOT the fastest or the most powerful notebook with a LAN party or an artist studio aos grace it, aos not a workstation or a gaming rig. It, aos an entertainment notebook that does a great job of entertaining. Playing music was very good, Blu-ray movies looked great, and high-end 3D gaming is more than possible on this notebook. Plus, you get so many extras, including slot-loading Blu-ray drive, the three-screen functionality with ports onboard, the HD webcam, some really good software that normally costs a few hundred dollars, and much more. What aos perhaps the most impressive, the system weighs only 7.5 pounds yet manages to fit into that beautiful 17-inch screen.

Construction and Design

The design of the HP DV4 has the same heavily chromed accents like the dv5 and new HDX models. I think that HP went slightly overboard with the use of shiny surfaces and in some cases, you will end up blinded by a number of things. could trim when using the notebook outside on a sunny day, the touchpad, speaker grills, media access keys, or even the palmrest blind when the sun hits it just right. Another high-gloss surface that is not the happiness of this model include the Infinity glass panel over the already glossy display. The few models that we in our offices with that setup have had to make viewing the screen a challenge in all but perfect lighting conditions with the amount of reflections.

Build quality is above average, with durable plastic all around the chassis. The painted surfaces seem to hold up well against minor scratches from day to day use, but they do not win a few fingerprints. The plastic, from which the palm rests fairly rigid but flex under moderately heavy pressure. The display cover is the same way, only bend a little, a lot of pressure. I do not think this notebook would have easily carried in a backpack with a bundle of heavy textbooks.

Display

The glossy LED-backlit WXGA (1280×800) panel is bright and lively, with excellent colors for viewing images or movies. Contrast seems a bit of everything, because the black shows up as dark gray wash full instead of black. Viewing angles are average with limited vertical viewing angle that gives you a sweet spot of +/- 15 degrees. Horizontal viewing angles are much better with the colors remain true, even from very wide angles. Brightness levels are more than adequate for viewing in a bright office setting. Sunlight readable, the glossy surface is limited, but if you have a site with some shade, it should be fine to find.

With the included Blu-ray drive watching HD is limited to around 720p content with the lower 1280×800 screen resolution. On a screen this small you probably would not even notice the difference. The HDMI output is a better choice for movies, capable of outputting the full 1080p resolution Blu-ray movies, and high-definition audio.

Keyboard and touchpad

The full-size keyboard is comfortable to type on, with only slight pressure needed to complete each key. The individual key action is smooth with a bit of plastic jiggle as you type. Keyboard distance is excellent, and no part of the keyboard felt cramped as though HP wanted to fit more keys than necessary into the mix. Keyboard support is excellent, with a very rigid surface that do not even move with very strong pressure. If the keys were painted black you could probably get through even called it a business notebook keyboard.

The touchpad is an ALPS model and feels very responsive with little lag. The entire surface of the touchpad consists of a high-gloss plastic, and hard on the first pass. The surface must collect some finger natural oils to allow easy sliding across the surface. If you clean it with alcohol every so often, it will be difficult to move your finger in one smooth motion until more oils collect on the surface. The touchpad buttons are in an easily accessible location and can be easily controlled with the thumb. The buttons provide mild feedback with a short throw that gives an audible click when pressed.

controls for quick access to movies, the DV4 a touch-sensitive media access panel above the keyboard. It has dedicated buttons for the QuickPlay HP media control area, Mute, Volume up/down, media controls, and wireless on off.

Performance

The system performance with the 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T9600 processor, 4 GB of system memory, and NVIDIA 9200M GS dedicated graphics excellent. Day-to-day applications scream, mostly in the context of the top-of-the-line processor. The NVIDIA 9200M GS video card not help much for playing modern games, but it will help offload processing power when decoding Blu-ray movies. In all but video encoding the processor in our test model was not used, and a slower processor could have probably done just fine. Order from the base 2.0GHz T5800 processor T9600 for a $ 550 upgrade that could be better spent to save money on a faster hard drive or a docking station.

Speakers and Audio

The onboard speakers leave a lot with a tinny sound at moderate volume desired. Both bass and midrange were lacking, and at high volume levels the speakers distorted quite. Lack of low-and mid-range is quite common with many notebooks, headphones left as the only good option for enjoying movies or music. They are close to a home theater, the audio from HDMI, you can also support audio through the route.

Battery Life

The battery life is average with the high capacity 6-cell battery. With the “HP Recommended” power profile enabled, wireless and active, and the screen brightness to 60 percent of the system with 3 hours and 24 minutes running time before he squeaked his 5 percent and wanted to shut down. HP has an extended range 12-cell battery that should offer even more battery life, but without any specifications listed, which would be at capacity and note it is difficult to estimate how long the battery would not.

Conclusion

The HP Pavilion dv4t works and drag a media hub for a home theater, and a mobile equipment for school or travel. Port selection is fantastic, and with the local dock connector allows you to connect even more devices. The “SmartBay” removable expansion has worked well, if you wanted more storage instead of an optical drive. While the price on our configuration was quite high, because a few key components such as the top-tier processor, a more modest configuration would result in a much more affordable notebooks. Overall, you get a lot for your money in a rugged housing that should easily keep for a number of years.

This was not an Extreme Makeover, by all means. The dv5t still slightly overweight at 6.3 pounds, while the differences between him and the previous Pavilions are barely discernible from the outside. The LED-backlit HP logo was about the only adjustment made to the lid, and it is similar to the approach the Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch (Penryn) took with its logo. The glossy black finish, laminated with a decorative pattern process called in-mold decoration-resembles that of the previous system, the HP Pavilion dv9500t. I would not change a scene I enjoyed.

This is not the first time I’ve seen Pavilion all chromed up. The HP convertible tablet, was the first with a bright metallic above the keyboard, palm rest area trim, and touch pad. The new look has a better job of hiding fingerprints and smudges than a black polish, although against a fluorescent light can be reflected glare of a distraction. The surface of the keyboard feels smoother because of the chromium, but not slippery, so that typing experience is very pleasant. The mouse buttons are slightly more stable than in the previous Pavilion model are so weak pops detectable but not annoying.

The “frameless” part of the 15.4-inch widescreen is a glossy treatment extending past the scene and into the black edges, creating a uniform look. HP introduced the idea in the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC, while it perfected in the Lenovo IdeaPad Y510, complete with a drop-down hinge. As always, HP offers several options for screen resolution. In this configuration, the made-1 0.050 1680-pixel screen video and photos really pop. The touch-sensitive buttons, volume bar, mute button, and DVD playback controls are backed by LEDs and the cinematic appeal. The Altec Lansing speakers sounded very good, although HP should match the five-speaker system (with subwoofer) on the Lenovo Y510.

For all laptops that took out their built-in TV tuner, like the Toshiba Qosmio G45, I glad to see HP led in the opposite direction. Instead of the lame ExpressCard TV tuners that HP used to the latest pavilions, including the dv5t offer an option for a built-in ATSC (HD) tuners have. You must attach a separate coaxial dongle and antenna, but they had no problems receiving over the air, high-definition channels at my Manhattan location.

The feature set is probably one of the best in the industry. Like other Pavilions, the dv5t comes with four USB ports-one of which is an eSATA/USB combo port. eSATA is an alternative interface for connecting an external device such as a hard disk, and it is four times faster than USB 2.0! Although this particular configuration is not dv5t with a Blu-ray burners come, can be added for additional money. An option for a high-definition drive explains why an HDMI output that allows you to stream digital content to a larger display, a standard feature. The rest of the goodies-the 1.3-megapixel webcam, a FireWire port, and are 5-in-1 card reader, what you expect from a Pavilion laptop.

Part of the new Centrino 2 platform, code-named Montevina, the dv5t is one of the newest Penryn processors. The 2.53-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 has the support for the new 1066-MHz front-side bus (FSB) and also on the Sony VAIO VGN-FW198UH can be found. The dv5t’s SYSmark Overall score behind the VAIO fallen by 4 percent. The Sony has 4GB of memory, compared with the dv5t’s 2GB, which could change for the small difference. But in general, exceeded the dv5t’s SYSmark scores to those of the Dell Studio 15 and the Apple 15-inch (Penryn), which both had previously Penryn models.

Other tests, such as video encoding and Cinebench R10 proved that the new Centrino 2 platform is not invincible. The Apple 15-inch (Penryn), dv5t with a higher clocked processor, better grades than those on these two tests off while the MacBook Pro Photoshop CS3 scores only a second behind which were the two Centrino 2 laptops. The dv5t comes with a 55-Wh (six-cell) battery, which emptied in 3 hours 12 minutes, testing after the MobileMark 2007. Like its predecessors, it is a 12-cell option, though these batteries is not backward compatible in the.

Conversion of an entire line is a big deal if you’re HP. The HP Pavilion dv5t does not receive the kind of makeover you’d expect from the number one PC retailer, but the revision of certain aspects of the construction was necessary to update current HP owners. You can also view a new frameless widescreen and built-in HDTV tuner functions to check the home theater enthusiasts clamoring that should have dv5t. The dv5t The big difference is that it is one of the first notebooks available on Intel’s latest Centrino 2 platform. Nevertheless, the improvements are modest. There is some performance gains, but you will notice that there is excellent battery life to get through a 12-cell battery, not the platform itself.

AMD’s new platform also offers fair performance and battery life, but it still can not compete with similarly priced Intel Core i3 and Core i5 systems. The HP Pavilion dv6-3010us is certainly an attractive looking laptop, but you can find a better price and performance elsewhere.

I’m not a big fan of the HP Pavilion design in the past. For me, the high-gloss surfaces and chrome frame is more attention from big box shelves were put on, actually improve as the benefits to the buyer of the machines designed. The shiny surfaces attracted fingerprints within the first few seconds of the box and the glossy touch pad, which did not provide the best feel, creating drag against your mouse finger. The new pavilion design at the dv6-3010us has a surface that can best be described at a semi-gloss, and the touchpad fortunately has a matte surface. The laptop remains blissfully free of fingerprints, releasing a soft, silky shine.

The color of the Pavilion dv6-3010us is a light golden color that HP calls champagne. How long-running HP Imprint finish in the past Pavilions dv6-3010us a subtle geometric pattern. The laptop lid and keyboard deck feature of this champagne satin finish and the glossy black screen bezel and matte black keyboard and touchpad provide a nice contrast.

The Pavilion dv6-3010us has a simple, simple look. You will not find any media shortcut keys above the keyboard, yet you will find a separate numeric keypad on the right. Instead, you get a full keyboard centered below the display. It has isolated keys that look good and are comfortable to use. The buttons feel sturdy and provide the right amount of travel, but I’m not thrilled with HP decision, a column of shortcut keys on the left side of the keyboard to add. The keys provide one-button access to Windows Live Mail, Cyberlink PowerDVD 9, your default browser, a print window, and a calculator. It takes a little getting used to, before you’re not hitting the print button instead of the Shift key on the calculator instead of the Alt key or caps lock instead of the “a” key.

The touchpad is completely redesigned and is very similar to the touchpad on the Apple MacBook Pro. The mouse buttons are not separate but are a key part of the touchpad, thin white lines on the touch pad on the mouse button demark the area painted. The entire touchpad presses along its lower edge. The uniform design sounds good in theory, but it is less useful in practice.

The support from Multi-Touch gestures like two finger scrolling, rotating and zooming are in their own right, but this functionality impaired simple mouse movements and commands.

For example, left my right thumb rests on the mouse click area often causes sudden, unpredictable movements of the cursor. Click Similarly when trying on a link or icon, my thumb moved to the left mouse button area sometimes set up a small painting, before I could actually press down the key, and the cursor a few pixels on your screen moves in and out Click the link or icon I wanted. I could click to dial touch sensitivity of the touchpad, and I could touch protection feature called PalmCheck Guard under the Mouse Properties window. Setting these two touchpad sensitivity slider helped somewhat, but in the course of this review, I felt like I was fighting against the touchpad.

I like the unique method used to disable the touchpad, you should turn it off in favor of a mouse. A small LED is located in the upper left corner of the touchpad. Double-tap the corner, and the LED is orange, cautions that the touchpad is disabled. Double tap again and the LED goes off and the touch pad is back in action. The laptop has two LEDs that act as useful indicators found on the F11 and F12. The F11 is assigned as the mute button when the mute function is activated, the LED lights orange. White is also on the F12 key when on Wi-Fi, and the LED lights when turned off, the LED will become orange.

The dv6-3010us weighs a trim 5.3 pounds, with which it slightly on the bright side of the scale for a 15.6-inch laptop. It’s the same weight as the MSI P600-019US and a few grams lighter than the 5.5-pound HP Pavilion G62-144DX.

The dv6-3010us has a 15.6-inch LED-backlit display with a resolution of 1366 x 768 resolution, a benchmark for the size and capable of displaying 720p HD video. Still images showed rich colors and crisp video viewing and smooth. The screen is glossy coating helps colors pop and smooth edges, but it still manages to glare and reflections to a minimum. A low-grade, 0.3-megapixel Webcam sits above the display.

The laptop has two forward-looking Altec Lansing stereo speakers. You will not rattle on the walls, but they offer rich sound, compared to other integrated laptop speakers, as on the MSI P600-019US or HP Pavilion G62-144DX.

With three USB 2.0 ports, a combo eSATA/USB 2.0 port, VGA and HDMI video ports, a multiformat card reader and headphone and microphone jacks, which provides dv6-3010us useful extension connections. The only thing missing, that some users are looking for an ExpressCard slot. Similarly, wireless connectivity is superb, with 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth onboard. Wired connectivity, Ethernet and Gigabit first class.

The laptop hard drive is only average. Some models at or near this price offer a 500 GB hard drive, such as the Alienware m17x, but most offer a 320 GB hard drive, as is the case here. You have to spend a bit more to step up to a Blu-ray drive. The Samsung R480 has such a drive, but a dual-layer DVD burner is the optical drive of choice on the Pavilion dv6-3010us.

As with the original envy, there is also a black-clad HP Envy 14-1160se Beats Edition, the partnership with beats audio highlights. Originally, this version included a pair of headphones Beats solo and has over $ 250 on the bottom line, making it a bad deal on paper, even if only a little (solo Beats headphones, you run about $ 179 by itself).

Currently, the Envy 14 beats Edition without the headphones are available, and we have an identical configuration – but not entry-level – in the black and gray Beats standard editions for $ 1,149 (build can not knock you the Beats Edition on the same 999 $ base as the regular Envy 14). If that’s the case, we would have no problem, the selection of Beats Edition, when we color the gray better than the standard liked.

Envy of the 14 looks great and runs great in general, but there are also a handful of small but frustrating issues that arise from apparently on a high-end laptop. automatically with the volume control opens an onscreen volume bar that bumps do not switch from full-screen games, large multi-touch touch pad is nowhere as smooth as Apple’s version, and the ATI switchable graphics as seamless as Nvidia’s Optimus to do graphics.

Envy as the standard 14, the new HP Envy 14 beats Edition is made of aluminum and magnesium, but in black and gray with red highlights instead of the usual bronze, and with a slightly rubberized mat looks and feels very nice. It lacks the subtle pattern printed spaces for the palm rest and back of the lid on the standard Envy, this version makes a bit more smudge-prone.

The Envy 14 Envy, like his predecessors, feels solid and robust, but also dense and heavy compared to other notebooks of similar size. At 5.3 pounds, it is not exactly something that you would carry in a shoulder bag with a daily commute (and a 14-inch laptop is already just over the line of what we consider truly portable) would, but we did see it work for semi-regular trips to the office or cafe.

The system consists of an inner slightly sunken keyboard tray, with a keyboard far apart, flattened keys and made a Power button. While there is no quick launch or media control buttons are the row of function keys and media control other attributes as the primary mapping, has the actual F4, F5, etc., to tasks that you hold down the Fn key at the same time ( Setup HP and others are used frequently). A major advantage of the Envy 14 has over the older Envy 13 is that the new keyboard with backlighting (in this case, with red lights by matt-black keys), which is one the must-have features in every high-end laptop. A small switch for this version beats: the key “B” with a beats-Audio logo, which is in the form of a stylized letter B is a stamp

The controllers have the unpleasant side effect jumping on the screen volume display when you hit the volume up, down or mute (F7, F8 and F9, respectively). So if you use it while playing a game or watch certain types of full-screen video trying to kick you out of the full-screen mode, or even back to the desktop.

The envy of the oversize touchpad is now standard on many HP laptops. The look and feel is great, and it rivals Apple for sheer size. Unfortunately, every HP laptop with the new touch-pad, we tried the same problem: the multi-touch gesture controls do not work consistently, moving also the required two-finger scrolling. The scrolling is stuttery movement and the touch pad is also missing the scroll that helps MacBooks (and iPhone, iPad, etc.) feel so natural. The 14.5-inch widescreen LED display (remarkable, since most 14-inch laptop screens measuring only 14 cm diagonal) has a standard 1,366 x 768 resolution. Our previous Envy 14 had a higher 1600 x900-pixel resolution, but this option is not currently displayed by HP.

Above all, HP has combined with special Bass Beats Audio support software and hardware that works especially well with the beats of the allegedly brand headphones but are certainly sounds clear and strong with other headphones or speakers through the system. Killer-Audio can not list at the top of most laptop shoppers’ will, but this is certainly one of the best performers in this category.

The Envy has 14 HP a much better selection of ports and connections than last year’s 13th Envy This time you get three USB ports, including USB/eSATA port, HDMI, and a display port and a slot-loading optical drive, a feature conspicuously missing from the 13-inch version.

We tested a version with an Intel Core i5-450 CPU. A slower (and less expensive) CPU Core i3 is present, but only in the non-standard beats Envy 14th As you would rightly expect from the current Core i5 laptop, it also runs in our benchmark tests and for all but the most serious multitasking or high-end gaming, the Envy is 14 more than capable.

The ATI Radeon HD 5650 has included a mid-range graphics card for mainstream gaming. Play Unreal Tournament III at 1,366 x 768-pixel resolution, we got 72.3 frames per second, and we would feel safe with any current game on the system at medium detail settings.

The Envy also features switchable graphics, the ATI card can be turned off to save power when not needed, instead, is the standard Intel HD graphics means. It is a nice option, but unlike Nvidia’s Optimus solution for laptops with Nvidia GPUs, you must manually switch the video here by clicking on an on-screen button, which, frankly, feels archaic in this place (even if you configure the system to automatically jump to the integrated graphics when using the battery).

The HP Envy 14 ran for 3 hours and 20 minutes on our video playback battery drain test, using the included battery with eight cells. This is very good for a medium-sized laptop, especially one with a decent CPU/GPU combo.

HP includes an industry-standard one-year warranty on parts and labor with the system. Upgrading to a three-year plan starts at $ 399, but also accidental damage protection and on-site service. Support through a 24-7 toll-free telephone line on the Internet, and a well-maintained on-line knowledge base and driver downloads.

Design

The DM4-1160us together with the Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch (Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz) and Asus U45Jc-A1, are mainstream notebooks that most have sex appeal. They are covered in aluminum metal and are seductively thin (about an inch thick), two characteristics that are often associated with luxury laptops. The DM4-1160us has a darker-toned aluminum chassis, while those of the MacBook Pro and U45Jc-A1 easier, silver color. HP imprinting technology is the laser across the DM4-1160us’s lid and palm rest, as the look cleaner, etched pattern-free metal-clad designs of his brothers about it. At 4.4 pounds, it is the lightest weight in 14-inch class, less than the Lenovo IdeaPad Y460 (4.9 lbs), Dell Inspiron 14R (4.9 lbs), and U45Jc-A1 (4.7 lbs).

The DM4-1160us’ s 14-inch widescreen is a number greater than that found 13-inch on the MacBook Pro 13-inch and Asus U30Jc-A1, which means that more have screen real estate to work. However, there is a general image that uses a standard 1366 x 768 resolution. If higher resolution is absolutely necessary, the HP Envy 14 scale up to 1,600 times 900th HP traditional keyboards are now replaced with the Chiclet-style way of a growing trend in laptops. All the letter keys are perfect, isolated squares, and while there in response to an input style (such as touch or hunting and woodpeckers), the Lenovo Y460 and Dell 14R have better typing experience.

The navigation experience the touch pad and mouse buttons, was also redesigned, though not necessarily for the better. It is the type of touchpad, the mouse buttons has built similar to the touchpad found on the MacBook Pro, except this one does not deliver on the multi-touch capabilities. Often, the built-in multi-touch gestures and cursor have a mind of its own when to use two fingers on the touchpad. A nice work-around is with the Tap function with a single finger, or disable the gestures in the Synaptics software (in the Control Panel). HP has a driver update that some, but not spent all the dumb mistakes.

Features

As the U45Jc-A1, the DM4-1160us combines a dual-layer DVD burner and still managed to keep a slim figure. It has a standard set of connectivity ports, including 3 USB (one of which doubles as eSATA port), HDMI, VGA, Ethernet and multimedia card reader. An ExpressCard slot is not included, though. Then again, not many 14-inch laptops these days. The huge 500 GB hard drive rotates at a fast 7,200 rpm, faster than the 5400 ones found in the U45Jc-A1 (500GB) and Inspiron 14R (320). A fingerprint reader, which is a rare find on a consumer laptop is top on the right palm rest.

The DM4-1160us Intel’s Wireless Display, a nice feature that allows you to stream, found something on the laptop to an HDTV friends wirelessly.

Performance

While many of his colleagues elected to an Intel Core processor running i3, the DM4-1160us HP kicks it up a notch with a 2.4 GHz Core i5-450M. It is a moderately faster processor than the one found in the Asus U45Jc-A1, 14R and 13-inch MacBook Pro, especially if you are an avid video or photo editor. The DM4-1160us better than the U45Jc-A1 Hand Brake (2 minutes 52 seconds), CS5 (5:18) and Cinebench 11.5 (2.14) tests, all of which measure raw horsepower. What it lacks, though, is a good graphics chip set, such as the Nvidia and ATI switchable graphics in the Asus U45Jc-A1 found and Lenovo Y460 each. But that does not mean you do not find a DM4-1160us configuration, the discrete graphics, the HP Pavilion DM4-1063cl is an ATI Mobility Radeon 5450.

In battery tests, the DM4-1160us well with his 55Wh (6 cell) battery, carried out as a MobileMark 2007 score of 5 hours 30 minutes on the Dell lasted 14R (3:31) and Lenovo Y460 (4:52). But it could not with the U45Jc-A1 84Wh battery, the spectacular nine hours took 27 minutes to compete.

The HP Pavilion 1160us-DM4 is one of the top contenders in the 14-inch consumer sector. There are some touchpad problems, but they are a modern design, a full plate of features and great battery life made of the shadows. It is surpassed only by the Editors’ Choice Asus U45Jc-A1, the dominant battery scores and a switchable graphics technology has had.
