When HP makes a media centre notebook, it goes all out. This Pavilion not only features a widescreen 17in TFT, Windows Media Center, a TV tuner and a remote control, but twin hard disks too. It's all driven by a 1.83GHz Core 2 Duo, which requires such minimal cooling that it only becomes audible when gaming or at the peak of our application benchmarks, in which the dv9088ea scored 1.16. A good-looking, ergonomically excellent laptop with a wealth of multimedia capabilities for home users.

I have been looking for reviews of this machine for weeks, and aside from those on Dabs, there is no clear information. I was hoping PCPro or someone would have reviewed it, but alas, it must have passed them by. I took the plunge, and I am not disappointed. I would concur with the comments of the previous reviewer on all aspects, but I have not tested the battery, and I use a wireless mouse, so I haven’t had the same negative issues. I will try to only add stuff here that wasn’t mentioned.

100,% Hewlett Packard Pavilion dv9088 PC Laptop Review
Source: Unbeatable.com Archive.org version
In short, just a great laptop for what you pay for. When compared to other laptops of the same cost, it outperforms all the others. In the way of games: I have been playing company of heroes and dawn of war on high settings, and it seems to lap it up. Neverwinter nights 2 has been playing on high settings. Half life 2 and Dark M of might and magic have settings maxed out. The only down side would be the 2-3 hr battery life (less if your playing games or DVDs) All in all, a great option for both an entertainment games laptop and a mobile desktop replacement.

Comment

NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600: The NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 is a middle class video card of the 7000 series and suited for games of the year 2006. The performance is very similar to ATI X1600 / X1700. Compared to the desktop 7600 it is clearly slower.

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.
