Amazon.com Product Description

Take your living room on the go with the HP Pavilion HDX9010NR entertainment notebook PC, which offers an innovative folding, high-definition 20.1-inch screen, an HDTV hybrid TV tuner (with HDMI port for connecting to an external HDTV), and quad speakers with built-in subwoofer for amazing cinema-like sound. Further converging home cinema with portable computing, this HDX also includes an HD DVD drive that's compatible with the new high-definition DVD disc format, enabling you to enjoy amazingly crisp and vibrantly colorful imagery as well as immersive surround sound. Control media playback with the remote control, which fits into its own dock to the left of the notebook's keyboard.

Control media playback--whether it be HDTV, a movie HD DVD disc, or your music library--using the dockable remote control (which sits just to the left of the keyboard).

The 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T7500 processor (from the newest "Santa Rosa" chips) combines with the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT video card (with 256 MB of dedicated GDDR3 video RAM) to provide exceptional visual scene rendering for 3-D gaming, content creation, and HD playback. It's supplemented by dual 120 GB hard drives for additional storage and back-up space, 2 GB of installed RAM (4 GB maximum), integrated pre-N Wi-Fi for the highest-speed wireless connections currently available, Gigabit Ethernet networking, and an eSATA port for high-speed data transfer to external storage devices--up to 6 times faster than existing solutions. Other features include a fingerprint reader for easy and secure access to the PC and online accounts, integrated Webcam with dual array microphones, and a stylishly dramatic high-gloss Dragon HP Imprint finish.

This PC also comes preinstalled with Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate, which combines all the features of Windows Vista Premium and Vista Business as well as adds extras such as multi-language packs and Secure Online Key Backup. It offers all of the features found in Windows Vista Home Premium, including Windows Media Center, Windows Movie Maker with high-definition support, and Windows DVD Maker. It also provides all of the features found in Windows Vista Business, including business networking, centralized management tools, and advanced system backup features. Vista also integrates new search tools throughout the operating system, includes new parental control features, and offers new tools that can warn you of impending hardware failures.

The Basics

Processor: The Intel Core 2 Duo T7500 processor has a 2.2 GHz processor speed, super-fast 800 MHz front-side bus (FSB), and an extra-large 4 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:
- 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.
Hard Drive: This system offers a total of 240 GB of hard disk drive space from two 120 GB drives (5400 RPM). These Serial ATA (SATA) hard drives also quicken the pace with a higher speed transfer of data--akin to FireWire and USB 2.0.
Memory: The 2 GB of installed RAM (2 x 1024 MB) is an excellent start, but you'll want to add more RAM to maximize the multimedia of this notebook (which has a 4 GB capacity).
DVD/CD Drive: This HP notebook offers the next generation of DVD entertainment with the HD DVD ROM optical drive, which provides the superior image and sound quality of high-definition images and multichannel surround sound as well as backward compatibility with standard DVD movie discs as well as content burned onto DVD-R/RW, DVD-RAM. It also incorporates a multi-format DVD/CD burner, which is compatible with dual-layer (DL) discs that can hold up to 8.5 GB of data.
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).

Screen, Video & Audio

The 20.1-inch high-definition screen on this HP HDX notebook offers easy adjustment via the innovative hinged back.

The dual lamps of the spacious 20.1-inch WSXGA+ High-Definition HP Ultra Brightview widescreen help to deliver the same color depth as a plasma HDTV display with dual lamps delivers. It features a 1680 x 1050-pixel resolution (for native 720p high-definition resolution), as well as an innovative adjustable screen that folds open from a hinged back. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600 XT graphics processor delivers exceptional performance thanks to its use of ATI's HyperMemory memory management technology that expands the 256 MB of dedicated GDDR3 graphics memory with system memory on demand to provide more power when needed. (GDDR3--or Graphics Double Data Rate, version 3--is a graphics card-specific memory technology that's better able to deliver fluid frame rates for even the most advanced games and applications.) It delivers remarkable combination DirectX 10 gaming performance, and plug-n-play CrossFire upgradeability makes it easy to scale up graphics performance to boost the most demanding games. Connect to big-screen TVs with HDMI including built-in 5.1 surround audio to enjoy HD DVD movies.

The integrated HP HDTV Hybrid TV Tuner lets you watch, record, and pause live TV using Windows Vista or the notebook's HP QuickPlay TV feature. Use ATSC to receive broadcast HDTV transmissions or switch to analog for access to cable or satellite TV programming.

You'll enjoy amazing aural performance with the four discrete Altec Lansing speakers and HP Triple Bass Reflex subwoofer. The integrated amplifiers provide approximately 20W total output while supporting a full range of treble and bass frequencies for outstanding stereo. The HDX integrated audio processor supports the latest external PC audio speaker solutions without the expense of an external sound processor to enable immersion in true HD audio with a full-surround sound experience (up to 7.1 analog audio).

Networking, Connectivity & Expansion

You'll enjoy amazing 3-D gaming graphics thanks to the ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600 XT graphics processor, which provides support for the improved rendering of DirectX 10.

Be ready for the next platform in wireless connectivity with the integrated quad-mode Intel Wireless 4965AGN Wi-Fi chip. Based on the draft 802.11n Wi-Fi specification, it offers up to five times the performance and twice the wireless range as existing 802.11g wireless. It's also backward 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).

This notebook also includes a next-generation ExpressCard 54 card slot (as well as a PCMCIA slot), which lets you take advantage of thinner, faster, and lighter expansion cards for even more advanced wireless, networking, storage, and security features. Here's the full list of connectivity options:

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 HDMI output (for connecting to a compatible HDTV or home theater receiver for uncompressed digital audio and video via a single cable)
Video output: 1 VGA, 1 S-Video
1 ExpressCard/54 slot (also supports ExpressCard/34)
Integrated HDTV Hybrid TV Tuner (with F-Jack adaptor) input, S-Video input, Blaster (IR emitter), stereo audio input
Native external speaker configuration ports: Side, rear, center/sub, front
2 headphone out, 1 microphone in
5-in-1 memory card reader (compatible with Secure Digital, MMC, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, and xD Picture Cards)
1 expansion port 3

It also has an integrated 56K modem (V.90) and an RJ-45 LAN network port (for a 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet connection to networks and DSL/cable modems).

Operating System
The Windows Vista Ultimate operating system has it all--an advanced, business-focused infrastructure, mobile productivity, and premium home digital entertainment features. It offers all of the features found in Windows Vista Home Premium, including Windows Media Center, Windows Movie Maker with high-definition support, and Windows DVD Maker. It also provides all of the features found in Windows Vista Business, including business networking, centralized management tools, and advanced system backup features. In addition, Windows Vista Ultimate includes Extras such as:

Customer Reviews:

It's a great machine but has one major cosmetic flaw........2008-01-01

I'm happy that HP is finally blazing the trail--and beating Apple to the punch--by offering a 20" laptop, but there is a major cosmetic issue with this unit: The thick bezel that goes all around the screen is warped right out of the box! I mean it is warped every inch or two. This is not a defective unit I have; I even went to Office Depot and saw one in the store and the same thing. It is a design flaw. They used a really thin and/or flexible plastic for the frame, and it has a softness almost like patent leather shoes. It looks nice and feels nice but unfortunately it flexes liker patent leather shoes, too. It being shiny black all of the ripples and warps reflect light in a wavy pattern so you can see this defect from 20 feet away. It's really a glaring defect on their part. I paid $3K for laptop with a warped bezel right out of the box? I am also not a huge fan of the screen arm. I think they could have gotten away with 2 really strong hinges or 3 or 4 hinges. There is no need for the arm. The arm looks OK when the screen is up but when it is down it looks horrid. So really mechanically this is a great unit it's the cosmetics I don't like. Hopefully they will come out with a better revision or hopefully Apple will follow suit with a 20" laptop. There is a market for 20" laptops in my opinion.

Very pleased with the box.......2007-12-24

I've had the "laptop" for about 3 weeks and am very pleased with it. I've had none of the problems a couple other reviewers have reported. I also haven't done any real intensive stuff with it. I've been able to remote into some other PCs, XP Pro OS, I have at home and move files back to the Vista box. My company lets us remote in from home to fix network issues and I can get in with the Vista box no problem. I was able to associate it with my Linksys Wireless G router in minutes. Evertyhing I've plugged in thus far, via USB or Bluetooth, has installed with no worries. The fingerprint reader is nice but I'm not so sure it's essential. If you work around users in a company network you'd probably find 80% of the people would forget their passwords if they don't type them everyday.

Someone pointed out the size of this dude--it is big! To get a visual of that go to any LCD store and look for a 20.1" LCD. That should give you an idea. I'm in a small town area and couldn't find one around here to look at or play touchy-feely with. It is borderline too heavy to hold on your lap without some kind of small lap table or other support. I think heat build up may be an issue without a table also. This really isn't a traveling laptop. I think some of the magazine reviewers speak to that issue.

We've watched some non-HD DVDs and believe they look much better on the laptop. The sound of music files is awesome due to the speaker arrangement and woofer. The full size keyboard with 10-key pad is great for either Word documents or Excel spreadsheets. It comes with lots of software, some of which I haven't had time to get into yet.

If you've read this far you've probably figured out I like the PC. Three years ago I paid half what I paid for this one and got a 15.4" laptop. It is slower, about a quarter of the HDD space, is having maintenence issues, definitely smaller, doesn't sound so nice, and a myriad of other differences. Only you can decide if it is worth it to you. I decided it was for me! If you only do a few emails/letters a week or want to surf the Net, you probably don't need this PC.

Appended Review.......2007-12-08

I received one from HP as an upgrade unit as they did not have my custom laptop configuration. I received the max configuration with True HD screen, 4 Gig RAM, 64 bit Windows and Extreme 7900 Processor. I've only had the unit a day, and I've observed the following:

-HD DVD got stock in opened position upon ejecting a CD, was able to position it back into unit.

-Vibration from somewhere in unit when base is turned up.

-No latch on front of unit (the one that clicks when you close the screen on your laptop), I suspect the giant hinge creates enough force to keep it closed, but I'd prefer a latch.

The unit is very heavy. So heavy in fact, I thought it was stuck on something when I went to pick it up. Could really use a handle like the Dell, but would probably take away from the fact that is actually looks like my HP 9000 series laptop albeit somewhat bigger.

As of 12/08/2007 there are no 20 inch laptop cases available in the United States as far as I know. I did see the neoprene case and the Dell case made for there 20 incher, but I'm looking for the real thing. I had a friend in London buy and ship me a Dicota MultiGiant case made for these giant laptops and Ebags has stated they will stock them in 5 weeks. The case was really expensive esp. Int. shipping, here is the site (they sell it on the British version of Amazon, but I couldn't apparently order on that).

I'll post more as I review the unit.

****************ADDED 12/18/2007*****************
After using this unit for a few days, I discovered that the speakers mounted in the LCD were not working and that only the subwoofer was producing sound. I found six others online having the identical or similar problem. I called HP support 3X in an attempt to resolve the problem hoping it was a driver issue, however, after escalating the case to an HP engineer the recommendation was to send the laptop in for repair which I am reluctant to do due to past history of aesthetic damage to my laptop.

The first attempt to send the laptop in for repair resulted in HP sending me a box too small to fit the laptop. I had re-iterated to the support person that the laptop was very large and that it might be a good idea to verify the box size as I would not want to receive the incorrect packaging. Very Frustrating...

The second and now third attempt to receive a box for shipment to repair has resulted in no box at all. At this point, I plan to request a new unit be built and shipped in place of this defective unit. I am also lowering my rating of this laptop in lieu of the problems with both the hardware and HP support. Considering the price of this unit, I would have expected more from HP.

HP 20" Notebook-My dream computer!.......2007-11-27

This Notebook is huge! It's really not mean't for traveling, but is an excellent replacement for a desktop. It has all the bells & whistles and I had no problem setting it up. To date all software has worked perfectly and I haven't had any issues with the new Vista system. It's very easy to use and very attractive to have displayed in my kitchen or livingroom. The screen is large and bright HD with a arm to tilt it back to your comfort level. The sound is amazing for a notebook. We have really enjoyed it so far, and will post again if we have any issues in the near future. I can't find a single thing bad to say about this notebook, and am very satisfied with it's performance.

HP Pavilion HDX9010NR 20" Entertainment Notebook PC (Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T7500, 2 GB RAM, 240 GB Hard Drive, HD DVD Drive.......2007-11-22

After repeated contact with HP support I had to send the defective unit in for repair and I still do not have it. Supposed to be returned by 11-27-07.
