Source: Comp Reviews
HP Pavilion dv9750us is a very strong multimedia notebook for those looking for a high definition playback notebook. The inclusions of the digital TV tuner card and Blu-ray drive provide these features. The drawbacks is that the system is a bit underpowered compared to similar priced system. This is the cost to consumers for the multimedia features.

The HP dv9790ea offers decent performance, but its benchmark results were below expectation for the CPU/GPU/RAM, and a lack of HD facilities limit its future entertainment potential. However, the asking price of £1,299 is reasonable for a large-screen model.

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GS: NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GS is the DirectX 10 capable successor of the GeForce Go 7600 / 7700 for laptops and technically a higher clocked 8400M GT. The performance is slightly above the 7600 / 7700 and, therefore, it can represent DirectX9 games fluently. For DirectX 10 effects, the power of the card is not sufficient.

Intel Core 2 Duo: This is the Core Duo and Core Solo successor with a longer pipeline and 5-20% more speed without more power consumption. As an addition to the Core Duo design there exists a fourth decoder, an amplified SSE-unit and an additional arithmetical logical unit (ALU).

The Core 2 Duo for laptops is identical to the desktop Core 2 Duo processors but the notebook-processors work with lower voltages (0.95 to 1188 Volt) and a lower Frontside bus clock (1066 vs 667 MHz). The performance of equally clocked notebooks is 20-25% lower than Desktop PCs because of the lower Frontside bus clock and the slower hard disks.

T7250: Mid-range (at the time of annoucement) dual core processor based on the Merom core.

T9300:

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.
