The easy-to-use HP m7640n Media Center PC is the complete home PC system that delivers more entertainment choices, and brings them together in one place with easy access from anywhere in the room. You can watch, record, and pause live TV programming as well as schedule the PC to record upcoming episodes or entire series. The built-in TV tuner and personal video recorder (PVR) let you watch, pause, rewind, and record live television--up to 305 hours on this 500 GB hard drive. An online Electronic Program Guide (EPG) lets you review the TV schedule and select individual episodes or entire series, so you can watch your favorite shows on your own time, at your own convenience. And you can easily burn TV shows and home video to DVD for friends and family with the dual-layer, multi-format LightScribe DVD/CD burner, which enables you to store up to 8.5 GB of data on a DL disc. LightScribe technology burns custom, silkscreen-quality labels and artwork directly onto LightScribe-enabled discs, right inside the drive.

A built-in drive bay fits an optional HP Personal Media Drive (PMD), for up to 300 GB of additional storage that you can carry away with you when you go (PMD not included). It also features a built-in camera bay, designed to accommodate the docking stations on select HP cameras--providing convenient access and optimal cable management.

This desktop is powered by the Intel Core 2 Duo processor, which offers a 20 percent performance boost over its predecessor while using 28 percent less power--so you get the benefit of a powerful dual-core PC plus all the benefits of mobility. The dual-execution core E6400 Core 2 Duo processor provides an optimized, multithreaded architecture for improved gaming and multitasking performance, and it features a 2.13 GHz speed, an amazing 1066 MHz system bus, and large 2 MB L2 cache. It also features 2 GB of installed RAM (8 GB maximum), NVIDIA GeForce 7300LE video card (with up to 256 MB of shared video memory), 15-in-1 memory card reader, Intel VIIV multimedia technology, up to 8 channels of surround sound, and Windows Media Center edition operating system. This is a Windows Vista capable PC, and it's also Windows Vista Premium ready.

The Basics
<ul>

Hard Drive: The incredibly huge 500 GB Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive (7200 RPM) offers a wealth of storage space, perfect for storing up to 305 hours of television programming, a vast multimedia collection, or for editing digital video. This SATA hard drive also quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data--akin to FireWire and USB 2.0.

Processor: The Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 processor has a 2.13 GHz processor speed, amazing 1066 MHz front-side bus (FSB), and a 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 2 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 Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. 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. Some of the advanced Intel innovations of the Core 2 Duo processor include: <ul>

Smart Memory Access: Improves system performance by hiding memory latency, thus optimizing the use of available computer data bandwidth to provide data to the processor when and where it is needed.

Advanced Digital Media Boost: Effectively doubles the execution speed for instructions used widely in multimedia and graphics applications.

Dynamic Power Coordination: Coordinates Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology and idle power-management state (C-states) transitions independently per core to help save power.

Deeper Sleep with Dynamic Cache Sizing: Saves power by flushing cache data to system memory during periods of inactivity to lower CPU voltage.</ul>

Memory: The 2 GB of built-in memory (2 x 1 GB, PC4200, DDR2 SDRAM) is a good start right out of the box, and it offers a very fast 533 MHz speed. This desktop has a 8 GB maximum RAM capacity (8 x 1 GB), excellent for your multimedia needs today and tomorrow.

CD/DVD Drive: Offering the latest in DVD writing technology, this 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, 8x DVD+R DL Write Once, 16x DVD+R, 8x DVD+RW, 16x DVD-R, 6x DVD-RW, 5x DVD-RAM, 40x CD-R, and 32x CD-RW write speeds. It also offers 16x DVD-ROM and 40x CD-ROM read 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 desktop comes with an HP multimedia keyboard and optical mouse (both PS/2) and remote control. </ul> Screen, Graphics and Sound
Video is powered by the Nvidia GeForce 7300 LE graphics card, which delivers stunning, HD video--up to 1080i resolution--and ultra-realistic gaming effects. It offers full support for Microsoft DirectX 9.0 Shader Model 3.0 and true high dynamic-range (HDR) lighting. Nvidia's exclusive TurboCache technology allows direct rendering from the GPU to system memory by leveraging the bi-directional PCI Express bandwidth. It also has an integrated audio card that can produce high definition surround sound configurable to 8 speakers.

Connectivity and Expansion Slots
For expansion, this desktop features a built-in camera bay that designed to accommodate the docking stations on select HP cameras, as well as a drive bay that fits an optional HP Personal Media Drive--which enables you to add 300 GB of storage for your video and music libraries.

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

HP SUPER MEDIA CENTER.......2007-01-09

THIS MEDIA CENTER IS FANTASTIC! HYPERWARP SPEEDS, FEATURES ARE GREAT ALL FOR A GREAT PRICE COMPARED TO THE MAJOR STORES! LOVE THE TV, WIRELESS KEYBOARD AND MOUSE, AND WIRELESS MODEM CONNECTION TOO!

Problem with this product in the web site.......2007-01-09

HP dont have much technical support of this product in web site

hope you don't need hp support.......2007-01-09

HP support should be called non-support. I have bought a lot of HP products in the past but have always been lucky enough to have them all hold up through the warranty period until now. Bought a Pavilion Media Center PC with lightscribe and less than 5 months later the lightscribe dvd died. Do the get me a replacement or just a run around? You got it....the run around. I will never and I advise everyone else not to buy from HP until they can prove to stand by their warranties.

Nicely Done HP!.......2006-12-09

I recently purchased the HP m7674n Media Center PC, which is essentially the same product as the m7680n. The difference between the two is the m7680n has 100 GB more of hard drive space and an additional DVD Recorder Drive. The computer is very fast and can handle multiple applications being open at the same time. For instance I can record a TV show, watch a video, rip a DVD, surf the internet and do a virus scan all at the same time! The TV Tuner is very useful as you don't have to worry about having to have an available tape of DVD to record a TV show. The Media Center provides you with many of the core features that Tivo provides at No Cost, whereas Tivo charges a monthly or lifetime fee. Ontop of that there is a built-in FM tuner which allows you to listen to the radio while using your computer. The built-in memory card reader allows me to transfer these media files from my computer onto my PSP's Memory Stick. There is also an S-Video jack which enables you to connect your computer to your television to watch your recorded TV shows on your television or simply surf the internet on the big screen. Lastly, I use the built-in HP Personal Media Drive Bay quite frequently. The Personal Media Drive (which is sold seperately) allows me to transport large files such as videos to multiple computers that wouldn't normally fit on a DVD or CD. Overall I think the computer is worth every penny.
