Amazon.com Product Description

Balance your need for productivity with great multimedia performance with the HP Pavilion dv8330us notebook PC, which features an amazingly bright, widescreen 17-inch BrightView display--perfect for multitasking between document windows and watching movies in their native aspect ratio. And you can easily burn your home video productions to DVD for friends and family with the dual-layer, multi-format DVD/CD burner, which enables you to store up to 8.5 GB of data on a DL disc. It also includes LightScribe technology for personalized silkscreen-quality, laser-etched CD/DVD labels created right in the drive. Enjoy movies or music in seconds with the external DVD or music buttons to launch HP QuickPlay (which bypasses the boot process). Control playback settings from up to 10 feet away with the included remote control, which stores conveniently in the PC Card slot. Easily share digital photos with the included HP Photosmart Premier software.

It's powered by Intel's new, groundbreaking processor--the powerful Core Duo T2250--which provides an optimized, multithreaded architecture for improved gaming and multitasking performance and a more efficient power consumption. The dual execution core T2250 has a 1.73 GHz processor speed, 533 MHz system bus, and 2 MB L2 cache. Enjoy smooth video processing with the Nvidia GeForce Go 7400 graphics/video card with 128 MB of dedicated and 128 MB of shared video RAM. Other hardware features include an extra-large 200 GB storage capacity from dual 100 GB hard drives, 1 GB of installed RAM (2 GB maximum), tri-mode wi-fi LAN (802.11a/b/g), a wide variety of connectivity options, multi-format memory card reader, and Windows XP Media Center edition. This laptop is also ready for the next iteration of Microsoft operating system--Windows Vista.

The Basics
<ul>

Hard Drive: You'll be able to store large libraries of digital audio, video, and photos on the dual 100 GB hard drives (5400 RPM), for 200 GB of total storage--one of the largest capacities you'll find currently in multimedia notebooks (June 2006).

Processor: The Intel Core Duo T2250 processor is built with the Mobile Intel 945PM Express chipset, and it has a 1.73 GHz processor speed, fast 533 MHz front-side bus (FSB), and large 2 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)

The Intel Core Duo processor has two computational execution cores in a single processor, providing greater system response when running multi-threaded applications simultaneously with no significant increase in power consumption. It's optimized for multitasking and is ready to support the next version of Microsoft Windows, code-named Vista. It can simultaneously run multiple demanding applications--such as graphics-intensive games or serious number-crunching business productivity applications--while downloading music or running virus-scanning security programs in the background. It's more efficient, thanks to Intel's Power Coordination and Deeper Sleep, which help to transfer power only to those areas of the processor that need it. It also features Intel's Digital Media Boost, which delivers enhanced performance on floating point-intensive applications such as CAD tools, 3-D and 2-D modeling, video editing, digital music, digital photography and gaming.

Memory: The 1 GB of built-in memory (PC5300, DDR2 SDRAM, 2 x 512 MB) is good start, and it offers a top-of-class 667 MHz speed. It has two memory slots, enabling you to add a maximum of 4 GB to handle immersive 3-D video games, video editing, graphics-intensive presentations, and multiple open business productivity applications. Also, to receive the benefits of the dual-channel DDR2 RAM, any RAM additions require memory modules of same capacity and clockspeed.

CD/DVD Drive: Offering the latest in DVD writing technology, the multiformat DVD/CD drive is compatible with writing both DVD+ and DVD- disc formats as well as dual-layer (DL) DVD+/-R discs, which can store up to 8.5 GB of data. It features 4x DVD-R DL Write Once, 2.4x DVD+R DL Write Once, 8x DVD+R, 4x DVD+RW, 8x DVD-R, 4x DVD-RW, 16x DVD-ROM, 40x CD-R, 24x CD-RW, and 40x CD-ROM speeds.

This LightScribe DVD+/-RW drive lets you laser-etch silkscreen quality text and images on to CDs and DVDs . Your software, PC and discs work together for a no-hassle way to burn just the labels you want. After you burn content, just flip the disc over, reinsert and burn your label--anything from a simple title to a full-disc work of art.

Keyboard & Mouse: This notebook has a 101-key keyboard and a touchpad with on/off button and dedicated vertical/horizontal Scroll Up/Down pad. It also includes two quick-launch buttons (HP QuickPlay Music and DVD). </ul> Screen, Graphics and Sound
The 17-inch WXGA+ high-definition BrightView widescreen (1440 x 900 resolution) provides a 45 percent larger picture for DVD movies than a 15-inch screen. Video is powered by the Nvidia GeForce Go 7400 graphics card with 128 MB of dedicated video RAM as well as 128 MB of video RAM shared with the system memory--for a very strong 256 MB total. Nvidia's TurboCache feature increases the performance of this thin and light notebook PC without increasing its size or draining its battery. It's coupled with the PowerMizer 6.0 advanced power management technology, which significantly extends your notebook PC's battery life while minimizing the amount of heat it produces.

Connectivity and Expansion Slots
This laptop has an integrated tri-mode Intel 3945ABG wireless LAN, which is compatible with 802.11b/g networks (commonly found in home routers and wi-fi hotspots) as well as 802.11a networks (which has a higher throughput, but more limited range--great for closed office environments). It also includes a next-generation ExpressCard 54/34 card slot (in addition to a standard PCMCIA slot), which lets you take advantage of thinner, faster, and lighter expansion cards for even more advanced wireless, networking, storage, and security features. You get a very good offering of connectivity options, which does include super-fast USB 2.0 and FireWire: <ul>

4 USB 2.0 ports for connecting a wide range of peripherals--from digital cameras to MP3 players

1 FireWire (also known as IEEE 1394 or i.Link) port for connecting digital video camcorders and other peripherals

1 VGA monitor port

1 S-Video port for connecting to a TV

1 PCMCIA (or PC Card) slot (Type I/II, 32-bit)

Preloaded System and Software
The pre-installed Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 (Update Rollup 2) is essentially Windows XP Professional Edition with a variety of tools to help you to create, organize, and enjoy digital media ranging from music to home movies to photo slide shows. The Update Rollup 2 upgrade offers support for the Windows Media Center Extender technology built into XBox 360 game consoles, which lets you access entertainment from your Media Center PC--whether it's live and recorded TV and movies, music, photos or Online Spotlight--on any TV in the house.

It also comes preloaded with Microsoft Works (for working with word processing and spreadsheet documents), Symantec Norton Internet Security 2006 (with 60 days of LiveUpdate), PC Recovery, MSN Encarta Plus, Microsoft Money, Sonic DigitalMedia Plus, muvee AutoProducer, RealRhapsody, Vongo, and HP Photosmart Premier for digital image editing and organizing.

The best laptop!.......2007-05-01

I absolutely love this computer. I will have had it a year this coming August. It's blown me away in terms of performance. I've not had 1 single issue with it yet either. It was 100% worth the money I paid for it. It's much better to pay a large sum for a computer that will last, than to pay less for one that will give you problems.

Love my laptop.......2006-11-03

Still haven't tried all the features, but everything I've used works great. My favorite part is the tv tuner along with the media center. I don't have to worry about working late and missing my shows. Tons of storage for video downloads (Vongo).
