Amazon.com Product Description:
Balance your need for productivity with great multimedia performance
with the HP Pavilion dv9730us 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. 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 ExpressCard slot. It
also has an integrated 1.3-megapixel WebCam (and integrated
microphone), enabling easy video conferencing via VoIP and video IM
chats. This stylish laptop also features a high-gloss, durable HP
Imprint finish with the Radiance pattern of concentric waves, as well
as a subtle blue backlit media control panel that responds to the
slightest touch.
Optimized for mobile performance, it's
powered by the 2.2 GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-64 dual-core processor,
which offers 64-bit computing capability and higher throughput for
simultaneous computing tasks. You can easily burn your home video
productions to DVD for friends and family with the dual-layer,
multi-format DVD/CD burner, which also includes LightScribe technology
for personalized silkscreen-quality, laser-etched CD/DVD labels. Other
hardware features include an extra-large 250 GB hard drive, 3 GB of
installed RAM (4 GB maximum), an integrated Nvidia GeForce Go 7150M
video/graphics card with up to 799 MB of total allocated video memory,
quad-mode Wi-Fi LAN (802.11a/b/g/n), and multi-format memory card
reader.
This laptop also 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 2.2 GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-64 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 250 GB Serial ATA hard drive is more than double the average size
for notebook PCs, and it offers a fast 5400 RPM disk speed--an
improvement over other notebooks with extra-large hard drives. It
provides more than enough capacity for storing documents, digital media
files, and video editing software. This SATA hard drive also quickens
the pace with a higher speed transfer of data--akin to FireWire and USB
2.0.
- Memory: This notebook comes installed
with 3 GB of RAM (DDR2), which helps boost the amount of available
video RAM that's shared with this notebook's video card. It has a 4 GB
RAM capacity.
- 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 (with integrated numeric keypad)
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 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 integrated Nvidia GeForce Go
7150M graphics/video card, which provides up to 1071 MB of total
graphics memory as allocated by Windows Vista. It features NVidia's
PureVideo technology--which provides great picture clarity, smooth
video, accurate color, and precise image scaling for video content--and
full support for Microsoft DirectX 9.0 for stunningly realistic
cinematic effects for all DirectX-compatible applications.
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.
Networking, Connectivity & Expansion
Be ready for the next platform in wireless connectivity with this
notebook's integrated quad-mode 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). 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 does include super-fast
USB 2.0 and FireWire:
- 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
- Analog video out: 1 VGA monitor port and 1 S-Video port for connecting to a TV or projector
- 1 ExpressCard/54 Slot (also supports ExpressCard/34)
- 2 headphone jacks, 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, MMC, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO, xD Picture Card)
- 10/100 Fast Ethernet
- 56K modem (V.90)
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.
