Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Optimized for mobile performance, it's powered by the 1.8 GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-56 dual-core processor, which offers 64-bit computing capability and higher throughput for simultaneous computing tasks. Other features include a large 160 GB hard drive, 1 GB of installed RAM (2 GB maximum), 54g Wi-Fi LAN (802.11b/g), multi-format/dual-layer LightScribe DVD drive (which can also burn CDs), NVidia GeForce Go 6150 video card with up to 287 MB of shared video memory, Bluetooth connectivity, multi-format memory card reader, and integrated Webcam for easy video conferencing.

It comes preinstalled with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium, which includes all of the Windows Media Center capabilities for turning your PC into an all-in-one home entertainment center. In addition to easily playing your DVD movies and managing your digital audio library, you'll be able to record and watch your favorite TV shows (even HDTV). 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 1.8 GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-56 processor offers a dual-core architecture, which delivers additional computing resources to help expand your PC's capabilities by providing higher throughput and simultaneous computing--increasing your performance by up to 80 percent. You'll be able to perform multiple tasks such as digital rendering and gaming all while running virus scan or other background tasks seamlessly thanks to the innovative Direct Connect Architecture. And it's designed to handle simultaneous 32- and 64-bit computing with no degradation in performance. You'll enjoy long battery life thanks to the AMD PowerNow! power management technology, which delivers performance on demand and can extend system battery life up to 65 percent. And the AMD Digital Media XPress technology delivers stellar multimedia performance and playback on digital entertainment such as games, streaming video and audio, DVDs, and music.

  Each processing core has a 512 KB L2 cache (for a 1 MB total), and this processor can deliver up to a 1600 MHz system bus for lightning quick computing reflexes. (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.)

• Hard Drive: The 160 GB hard drive (5400 RPM) offers enough to room to hold a digital audio library of over 26,000 songs and still have room left over for movies, games, and a large collection of software. This Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive also quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data--akin to FireWire and USB 2.0.

• Memory: The 1 GB of installed RAM (2 x 512 MB DDR2) is a good start, but you'll want to add more RAM to handle today's demanding multimedia and productivity suites. It provides two DIMM slots and has a 2 GB maximum RAM capacity. To receive the faster data transfer benefits of the dual-channel DDR2 RAM, any RAM additions require memory modules of same capacity and clockspeed.

• DVD/CD Drive: 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, 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).

The Altec Lansing speakers provide exceptional sound, and a pair of stereo earbud headphones with volume controls is included. You'll be able to privately share enjoyment of multimedia with a friend via the dual headphone jacks. One of the headphone jacks is also compatible with SPDIF digital audio output for home theater surround sound.

Networking, Connectivity & Expansion
This notebook has an integrated 54g wireless LAN that's fully compatible with 802.11b/g wireless networks. With the Bluetooth connectivity, you can communicate and synchronize with Bluetooth-enabled peripherals such as PDAs and cell phones. It also includes a next-generation ExpressCard 54/34 card slot (replacing the 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 includes both super-fast USB 2.0 and FireWire:

• 3 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 ExpressCard/54 slot (also supports ExpressCard/34)
• 2 headphone jacks (1 stereo, 1 with SPDIF digital audio output)
• 1 microphone jack
• 1 Expansion Port 3 connector (for use with the HP xb3000 Expansion Base or the HP Notebook QuickDock)
• 1 IR receiver
• 5-in-1 memory card reader (Secure Digital, MultiMedia, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO, xD Picture Card)
  It also has an integrated 56K modem (V.90) and an RJ-45 LAN network port (for a 10/100 Ethernet connection to networks and DSL/cable modems).

  Operating System
  Windows Vista Home Premium is the operating system for users with advanced computer needs, and it includes all of the Windows Media Center capabilities for turning your PC into an all-in-one home entertainment center for watching DVD movies and accessing your digital audio library. You can also use Windows Media Center to record and watch your favorite TV shows (even HDTV) and to access new kinds of online entertainment content. Computers that include Windows Vista Home Premium and an auxiliary Windows SideShow display will also allow you to access key data even when your computer is off. It is also easier than ever to share files between other PCs in your household and to manage your laptop computer settings to more securely connect via Wi-Fi.

  Every edition of Windows Vista provides the essential tools and technologies to help protect you whether you are browsing the Internet, connecting to a wireless network, or just reading e-mail. All editions of Windows Vista include new tools that can warn you of impending hardware failures long before you have lost any important personal data. And, all Windows Vista editions include parental control features that allow you to manage and monitor your family's use of games, the Internet, instant messaging, and other activities.

  Very pleased, Good Investment, Good Manufacturer.......2007-12-28

  I have to say that thanks to this laptop I am now a true believer in HP products! All of my desktops have always been Dells, but this laptop has converted me to HP for life. The laptop has some wonderful features. My only complaint is that I need a full paper manual. All of the "manual" instructions are in the Help section on the computer, and sometimes I had trouble finding how to use some of the features. But eventually I found the instructions I needed. It's been a very reliable machine!

  greatttttt.......2007-10-03

  i really recommend this laptop. i did not encounter any problems. HP seems to have done a great job.

  Everything I've been looking for........2007-09-16

  After struggling for over a year with a Gateway M675 and a Dell Inspiron, and being dissatisfied with both, I went to the local Freys and checked out the HP DV2xxx series. Liked the key layout, finish, screen and I/O. Got it shipped overnight from Amazon (much cheaper than getting an eBay auction to ship overnight, and half the cost of local sales tax!), and had it the next day. Could not be happier - everything worked upon installation, the 14-inch screen is great and it's very portable and compact. Will get another 1G RAM for it. Vista takes a bit of getting used to (still prefer XP), but will strip out a lot of the time / space wasting features and get it a bit faster and more straightforward to use (I'm a Windows Classic throwback). The only drawback I can possibly find about it is the outside finish, which retains fingerprints and palmprits. I've heard there's a protector cover for it, which I'll look into. You do have to be a bit careful of hitting the touchpad with your palm while you type, but that's easily fixed. A joy to use!

  Very well-spent money.......2007-09-03

  Its hard to say anything bad about this notebook...
  Could only offer more RAM memory, that's it.

  Excellent for the price.......2007-08-05

  Pros - Very fast, loads of storage space, the dv2420us is actually a 200gb hard drive albeit running at 4200RPM. Light weight, flexible, included webcam is a plus. Bluetooth & WiFi works extremely well. Light Scribe is an added touch
  Cons - Not a gaming notebook..graphics card is low-end, gets very hot if used on lap, included battery is only about 1-1.5 hrs long. Windows Vista takes an incredible amount of time to boot, I clocked 4 minutes on a start-up.
  Baseline - If you are looking for a notebook for school/office work/home/multimedia you get a great deal here. I avert my startup problems with Vista by putting the computer in hibernate mode and at the push of the power button, then it starts up in about 20 seconds. Also as with most electronics nowadays, this notebook runs hot. Use the notebook on a desk or if you have to use it on your lap, put it on a book so it gets good ventilation or it becomes very hot and sluggish.
