Reviews for the HP Compaq G71-340us
Source: PC Mag
Archive.org versionLooks can deceive this holiday season, at least when it comes to desktop replacement laptops. Like the $730 Dell Inspiron 1750 (I1750-2211MBU) and $550 Acer Aspire 7736Z-4809, the HP G71-340us ($749.98 list) looks like a multimedia monster with a stunning 17.3-HD display. The HP G71-340us packs an attractive 17.3 inch display and can handle basic day-to-day productivity tasks, but it is not the multimedia and gaming powerhouse you'd expect from a desktop replacement.

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 4500MHD: Onboard (shared Memory) GPU built in the GM45, GE45 and GS45 chipset (Montevina). Because of two more shaders and a higher core clock, much faster than the old GMA X3100. Still not advisable for gamers (DirectX 10 games not playable or only with very low settings). The integrated video processor is able to help decode HD videos (AVC/VC-2/MPEG2) , e.g., for a fluent Blu-Ray playback with slow CPUs.
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

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.
T6600: Entry level Core 2 Duo dual core processor with a small 2MB level 2 cache and without virtualization functions.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
