When we reviewed the Pavilion dv8000z two months ago, it earned an Editors’ Choice for its slick design, multimedia chops, and bright display. If it didn’t impress you then, it should now. This 17-inch desktop replacement is now outfitted with a dual-core processor and superior graphics. The dv8000t looks and feels the same as its predecessor but with a serious boost in performance and features. This machine still has its sloped silver-and-black design. Altec Lansing speakers line the front, and a beautiful bright 17-inch display offers good horizontal and vertical viewing angles. The full-sized keyboard is still a draw, as is the row of extra function keys that control sound, wireless Ethernet, and the calculator.

NVIDIA GeForce Go 7400: NVIDIA GeForce Go 7400 is a faster clocked Geforce Go 7300, which is a slightly enhanced GeForce Go 6200. The performance is a bit below average. Some current not demanding games can be played fluently with low details. For other games massive restrictions with the game settings must be tolerated. The performance is sufficient for office applications and surfing.

Intel Core Duo: Intel Core Duo (successor of Pentium M), is a double core processor with a very good relation of performance to current consumption. The 2 MB L2 Cache are used common. The maximum current consumption of 31 Watts is only 4 W more then with Pentium M. Due to the low energy need is Core Duo also suited for subnotebooks. Further now it supports SSE3 orders. The performance can nearly be doubled for applications, which were designed for multiprocessors (compared with Pentium M).

T2500: The strong Core Duo type T2500 is not only suitable for office applications and surfing, but also for games.

17.1": Nowadays, meanwhile the 17 inch display size is a more frequently offered standard format for desktop-replacements. 17 inch laptops are built only in 16:10 format.
The DTR-Laptops can't be carried easily, need much current, but on the other side texts can be read easily and high resolutions are no problem. DTR mainly are intended for stationary usage on desks, where the weight and the energy need are unimportant.

3.4 kg: This laptop is heavy below average, compared with the average of notebooks. Therefore especially desktop replacements fit in this class of weight.

HP: Hewlett Packard is one of the biggest international manufacturers according market shares and reviewed models at the German- and English-speaking market. HP notebooks are often in top positions according price/value ratings.
