HP dv5t Review
Source: Student Buying Guide Archive.org version
The HP dv5t laptop is popular for a reason, it’s price to feature ratio is one of the best out there for laptops and the 15.4-inch screen form factor fits the bill for most people’s needs. If you’re going to be walking around campus a lot, then you may want to consider the slightly smaller and lighter 14-inch screen Pavilion dv4t. However, if your laptop will mostly be sitting on a desk in your dorm then a 15.4-inch screen is the sweet spot. If you want to use the Pavilion dv5t as an all-in-one entertainment machine by getting Blu-Ray, TV tuner and dedicated graphics built-in then it can certainly replace your TV and DVD/Blu-Ray player. In summary, there’s no hesitation in recommending the Pavilion dv5t as a student notebook if you think it fits your needs profile.

Who says travel has to be boring? HP aims to make it as entertaining as possible with the Pavilion dv5t, a notebook built as much for games, music, and movies as for everyday computing. To that end, HP stocks it with high-end, Centrino 2-powered hardware and media-friendly goodies such as a Blu-ray drive and a stowaway remote. HP's Pavilion dv5t entertainment notebook has good looks and the media features to match, though its HD functionality is limited.

It has been nearly three years since I bought my last laptop. I put a great deal of time into researching my the purchase of this HP dv5t, and it paid off. The HP dv5t meets my needs perfectly. It is an extremely well-rounded 15.4-inch multimedia notebook at a great price point. A beautiful design, superb input devices, a great screen, and good gaming performance are the major highlights of this machine. I have no second thoughts about giving the dv5t my full recommendation.

After nearly two years of sticking with the same design, HP is making several moves to spice up its Pavilion line. The HP Pavilion dv5t ($1,525 list) is part of a large group of HP consumer laptops (all the Pavilion ones, as well as the Compaq Presario laptops) to receive an interior chrome treatment. If in these new models the convergence between a laptop and a home-theater experience isn't otherwise apparent, its new "frameless" widescreen and built-in TV tuner should drive that point home.

The HP Pavilion dv5t features a frameless widescreen and built-in HDTV tuner.

The HP Pavilion dv5t sports a redesign that makes other mainstream machines look old-fashioned by comparison and backs up its futuristic-chic appearance with fast performance. There’s more than enough oomph here for a smooth Vista experience, as well as for playing the latest 3D games. And with its sharp display and robust speakers, the dv5t doubles as a portable entertainment center. This is a worthy sequel to the dv6500t and one of our favorite 15.4-inch notebooks. Be sure to check back in the July/August timeframe for a more in-depth review.

Comment

NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GS: Slower clocked 9600M GT and therefore a bit slower and cooler. In conjunction with an 9100M the 9600M GS is able to use HybridPower to save current.

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.

T9400:

15.40":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

3 kg:

With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.

HP: Founded in 1939, the US company is a major server and printer manufacturer and one of the leading IT companies in the world. Until 2015, the company was called Hewlett-Packard Company. After a split, the computer division was renamed HP Inc.

In 2023, HP had an approximate market share of 22% of global PC sales, making it number 2 after Lenovo.

79.67%: 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.
