Reviews for the HP Pavilion dv7-1451nr

Source: PC Mag Archive.org version
The HP Pavilion dv7-1451nr is the more affordable ($799.98) sibling of the dv7-2170us, which costs $300 more. Externally, you can tell the systems apart by the economy model's more understated crosshatched, instead of artistically decorated, black lid and its silver instead of black keyboard, numeric keypad, palm rest, and speaker surround, though they have the same smudge-magnet chrome touchpad. Performance-wise, the difference between the systems bears out the old adage, "You get what you pay for." The older 17- as opposed to newer 17.3-inch incarnation of HP's desktop replacement offers fair value, but skimps on performance and luxuries.

ATI Radeon HD 3200: Onboard (shared Memory) graphics chip (on RS780M chipset) based on the HD 2400 graphics core. It also features the UVD video engine to decode HD videos. Beware: Under Windows XP the HD 3200 may have no 2D accelleration because of a driver problem.

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

AMD Turion X2 Ultra: The AMD Turion X2 Ultra is part of the Puma platform and a mixture of the old K9 core (form the Turion 64 X2) and some parts of the K10 architecture (memorycontroller, hypertransport, crossbar switch from the Phenom). Because of the increased L2 cache ("Ultra" CPUs) and the improved memory controller, the performance increased a bit. Still a similar clocked Core 2 Duo is noticably faster.
