Reviews for the HP Pavilion dv8000t
Source: Laptop Mag Archive.org version
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.

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)

17.10": This display size is a standard format for desktop replacements (DTR). The DTR laptops are heavier to carry, need more power, but texts are easy to read and high resolutions are no problem. 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.
3.4 kg:
A laptop with this weight is comparatively heavy and less designed for mobility than for use at the desk. Therefore, the devices tend to shine less with battery life than with a large screen and higher performance.

80%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
