The HP Pavilion dv7-6143cl offers up a standard feature set with a few nice extras, but its performance in media-oriented and 3D gaming tests and a battery time that usually shows up on small ultraportable laptops—not media center desktop replacement laptops—puts it above the laptops like the Editors' Choice Acer Aspire AS8950G-9839. All this is why it's our new Editors' Choice for media center laptops.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.
