Reviews for the HP Pavilion dv5000t

80% HP dv5000t Review
Source: PC Mag
A new addition to HP's Pavilion dv5000 line of consumer laptops, the HP Pavilion dv5000t ($1,964 direct) is one of the latest mainstream notebooks to feature an advanced Intel Core Duo processor. A related new model, the dv5000z ($1,514), uses an AMD processor. Both systems give you a rich media experience, but if the seductive Pavilion dv5000 series really floats your boat, which system do you go with? A machine outfitted with a 64-bit AMD Turion processor or one with an Intel Core Duo chip? On the outside, there is no difference between the dv5000t and the dv5000z. Each sports a very sleek-looking chassis, similar to the former Editors' Choice, the HP Pavilion dv4000.

Overall I give this notebook an 8.5 out of 10. I think this notebook is a good buy if you're looking for something with a 15.4-inch widescreen with lots of CPU power. The biggest selling point is the value for the money. At around $1,500, you have a good desktop replacement that plays pretty much every game on the market! It would be a 10 out of 10 if they gave it a Geforce Go 7800 GTX graphics card. If you can deal with not having the best graphics card on the market for a notebook, this is a good choice for you.

80% A dual-core entertainer with plenty of style and endurance
Source: Laptop Mag
HP's 7.4-pound Pavilion dv5000t not only takes advantage of Intel's new dual-core processor and HP's Instant On capabilities but also boasts over seven hours of endurance using the 12-cell battery included in this configuration. This is an excellent mainstream notebook at a reasonable price. Aesthetically speaking, the dv5000t is, for the most part, a well-designed notebook. It's carefully shaped with sloped edges that add a subtle but futuristic touch to the black-and-silver body. The only flaw and really the only major drawback to this notebook is the battery chamber that sticks out the back. Unlike most batteries that fit seamlessly into the bottom of the notebook, the dv5000t's is 0.4-inches thicker than the bottom and causes it to sit on an incline.

Comment

NVIDIA GeForce Go 7400: The NVIDIA GeForce Go 7400 the competitor to the ATI Mobility Radeon X1400. Caution there are some versions with reduced momry bus available.

Lower end of Graphics Cards for users who want to play games. New games should run on these cards, but only with decreased details and mediocre resolution.

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)

15.4": 15 inch display-variants are the standard and are used for more than the half of all notebooks.  15.4 inch display with 16:10 are the standard for notebook displays.
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 current and the laptops can be kept quite compact.
