Reviews for the HP Pavilion dv7-4170us
Source: Comp Reviews Archive.org version
HP's Pavilion dv7-4170us certainly succeeds on being an affordable 17-inch laptop but the system suffers a number of feature drops compared to the Intel version that its overall value is diminished. It still retains the same aluminum exterior and long battery life but it lacks the Blu-ray drive and graphics capabilities make it less useful for HD media or games.

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470: Entry level DirectX 11 chip with GDDR5 support but only 80 shader cores. Supports Eyefinity (up to 4 monitors) and 8-ch HD audio over HDMI. Performance on par with the old GeForce 8600M GT.
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

DTR are mainly intended for stationary desk use, where weight and energy hunger don't matter. In return, you enjoy the advantages of high resolutions (more details, better legibility).» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
