HP Pavilion HDX review

HP Pavilion HDX is made to be on the desk at home rather than have it on your legs because of its weight. It is really crowded by high-tech features.This device is great entertaiment centre for your home, but on teh other hand the display has not the full esolution of HD DVD - 1080p. Anyway it is good decission to make one device for playing video, work and computer games.

HDX has the design of the entrtaiment laptops from HP with simillar black-silver coloring and mild sign on the down side of cover. The highest measure of closed HDX
is 4826mm and it weights nice 16 pounds without adapter:) It is the heaviest laptop i have ever seen. So i think it is possible to transfer it between rooms or take it
to your holiday with car but not to travel with it by public transport every day.

Display of this size needs to be more fasten than standard laptops and therefore he got a strong arm from its back. This solution I appreciate much. Opening and closing is very easy, everything is exact and goes smooth.

Keyboard is very large because of space on the desk so it is comfortable writing since it has same measures as a standard keyboard. Touchpad is looking very well - futuristic but i must say that moving your finger on it is not comfortable, so i would prefer simple flat one.

Remote controller is big for laptop and it is placed in a holder left from the keyboard. You can use it as a part of keyboard or take it away and use from distance.
I appreciate this solution because you will never loose controller if you will take care placing it on its place next to the keyboard.

Web camera, fingerprint reader and TV tuner fills up all the features needed for entertaiment.

The great thing is huge display 20.1" WSXGA+ Ultra Widescreen. With resolution 1680x1050 is impossible to reach the real 1080p HD, but you will find this resolution on majority on the 20.1" displays. Display is sharp and bright and the BrightView feature is great for playing video or games.

As i mentioned this device is the home cinema as well. HDMI is included as necessary port especially when u want HD DVD. Extern SATA port is very usable because you can add the second disc if the inbuilt 240GB will not be sufficient.

I recommand to buy HDX with CPU Core 2 Extreme because this chip is ulocked for overclocking. This can spare a lot of money because you are able to increase the power of your laptop. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT supports DirectX10, and is one of the first for laptops.

Baterry serves more as an backup becauce it cad run only about half an hour without power.
