Reviews for the HP Pavilion dv8299XX
Source: Mobility Guru
Another big and hefty notebook, the HP unit continues with the same silver and black motif we saw with our first two roundup candidates. Like the Fujitsu, the HP's upper deck has a matte finish, but it takes a bit more effort to smudge or smear its surface (it does show fingerprints more than the Acer, however.) The bottom deck is metal on the front third and uses a matte finish black plastic for the rear two-thirds, which is also used for the palm rest on the top of the keyboard deck. Like the other notebooks, this one also has six rubber feet to protect and cushion whatever surface it sits upon.

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.
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

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)
T2600: Second fastest Core Duo based on the Yonah core. Does not support 64 Bit operating systems.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
17.1": Meanwhile the 17 inch display size is a more frequently offered standard format for desktop-replacements. The DTR-laptops can't be carried easily, need much energy 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.
