Reviews for the HP Pavilion dv2000t

80% It’s hard to beat this low-priced, lightweight dual-core laptop.

With its 14.1-inch widescreen wrapped in a 6.3-pound, one-inch–thick shell, the HP Pavilion dv2000t is a more portable multimedia machine than the rather bulky 15.4-inch entries here. The slick design, with its subtly pinstriped black-lacquer exterior and glossy silver interior, still hasn’t worn out its welcome (though constantly wiping off the fingerprints has), and HP goes the extra mile when it comes to convenience touches.

Extraordinary styling and a complete feature set make the HP Pavilion dv2000t stand out among affordable widescreen notebooks. We thought previous HP Pavilions were pretty stylish, but the new design of the dv2000t is even more appealing and makes the major competition look stale by comparison. Add to that a complete feature set and an attractive price ($1,149 after $100 mail-in rebate and $50 instant savings), and it's easy to understand the line's growing popularity. Slick is the best way to describe the 5.3-pound dv2000t's look. The high-gloss, piano-black exterior, with its subtle pinstriped wave pattern, is appealing to the eye and touch. At only one inch thick, this notebook is easy to carry. Open the latchless lid and you'll find a black keyboard offset by a glossy silver surround.

Goodbye, boring black and silver. Hello, high fashion. A glam exterior encases the HP Pavilion dv2000t, a sophisticated entertainment notebook that replaces the dv1000. With the Pavilion dv2000t, HP breaks new notebook-design ground with Nissha film imprinting, an advanced molding technique that incorporates attractive patterns into an object's surface. The unit's high-gloss metallic and piano-black finish contains a subtle wave design, just as some cell-phone casings and luxury-car interiors do. (HP has also installed this new design on the Pavilion dv2000z, as well as on a handful of other new consumer and business notebook models.)

HP dv2000t Review

To reiterate, the HP dv2000t is a lightweight but powerful machine that's perfect for college or home/office use. Although it lacks in gaming performance for post-2004 3D games, it is a great solution for people who only do office work, listen to music, watch movies, etc. The webcam option makes the notebook great for Skype or MSN video chatting with its decent 1.3 Megapixel camera and 2 omni-directional microphones integrated above the screen. Aside from the cheap mouse buttons and glossy touchpad, the notebook feels very solid throughout. The 14.1" BrightView widescreen 1280x800 LCD and full size alphanumerical keys makes it comfortable for long-term typing and viewing.

With the release of the Pavilion dv2000, HP inaugurates a new look and feel for its Pavilion line of laptops. Departing from the familiar matte silver-and-black case, the dv2000 has sleek rounded edges, a high-gloss finish (which HP says is particularly scratch resistant), and a subtle Zen wave design on the lid. Looks aside, however, the Pavilion dv2000 sticks to the same basic script as previous Pavilion models: you get a strong set of components and most of the features that a home user will want for a competitive price, starting at $830. HP has also upped the ante with the dv2000's processor options: you can configure it with either an Intel Core Solo or Core Duo, or AMD Sempron or Turion 64 X2 processors.

Comment

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 950: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 is an integrated (onboard) graphic chip on Mobile Intel 945GM chipset. It is a faster clocked version of the GMA 900 and supports no hardware T&L (Transform & Lightning) accelleration (which is required for some games).

Only older games can be played fluently with these graphics chips (if they were not too demanding). Shared memory graphic cores in this category got the advantage of less heat production and longer battery runtimes. For office, internet, image processing, and video editing tasks these graphics chips are still useable without any restrictions.

Intel Core Duo: Double Core processor with a very good relation of performance to current consumption. The 2 MB L2 Cache are used together by the double. The maximum capacity of 31 watts is only 4 watts more than with the Pentium M (predecessor). Both cores are lowered automatically and independently of each other by speed steps down to 1 GHz. In addition it now supports also SSE3 instructions. At least it is just as fast as a equivalent Pentium M. With applications, which were designed for multi-processors, the performance can be nearly twice as fast as with the Pentium M (e.g. CineBench around 86% fast)

T2300:

14.1": 14 inch display size is a mixture between the small formats of subnotebooks and the 15 inch standard display. The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much energy and the laptops can be kept quite compact.

2.7 kg: This notebook is lighter than the average of all notebooks. It is too heavy for sub-notebooks. 14 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.

HP reviews

77.4%: This rating is not convincing. It must be considered, that there exist hardly any laptops, which receive a rating below 60%. This notebook is evaluated below average, this is not really a recommendation for purchase.
