HP's Pavilion HDX 16 entertainment laptop gets reviewed

First things first: LaptopMag's Pavilion HDX 16 was entirely more equipped than the basic $1,249 unit that was uncovered last night, so it makes sense that they were swooning over the (optional) 1080p display and the (optional) Blu-ray drive. ...

HP HDX 16 (1370us)

The HP HDX 16 1370us combines multimedia features with gaming power.

Strong gaming performance. Widescreen. Modestly priced. Cool remote control.

No Blu-ray player. HD but not 1080p. A bit heavy.

HDX 16

Prepare to do a double-take with HP's HDX16. The short version: It is a trimmed-down take on HP's HDX18. The HDX16 offers desktop replacement performance and features in an all-purpose notebook--and looks pretty slick in the process. Sure, its screen...

DTR features in an all-purpose package Good Speakers

Screen is a little too glossy Slightly redundant multimedia software

The question quickly becomes what you're comfortable carrying around with you. HP's HDX16 goes a long way toward bringing a good multimedia experience with you on the road, but it lacks the juice to last for the long haul (and, as a larger laptop,...

HP HDX16t

The HP HDX16t rides the line between a thin-and-light and a desktop-replacement laptop. Whichever category it falls into, you're bound to do a double take when you see itit's a marked transformation from HP's Pavilion line. (HP is branding the HDX...

Gorgeous 16-inch widescreen. Numeric keypad. Internal TV tuner. eSATA port for storage expansion. Excellent performance scores

Could use a higher-capacity battery option

The HP HDX16t is the sexiest 16-inch media center on the market, assuming you can live with the limited battery options.

HP HDX 16-1370us

The 1370 definitely lived up to its pedigree as a member of HP's HDX line of stylish multimedia, laptop computers and with its Nvidia GPU it managed to surpass its forbearers in terms of performance. For the consumer who is in the market for a...

Strong gaming performance. Widescreen. Modestly priced. Cool remote control

No Blu-ray player. HD but not 1080p. A bit heavy

The HP HDX 16 (1370us) is a slick, feature-laden multimedia laptop that does more than just play music and DVDs.

Review HP Pavilion HDX16 Notebook

Glitz and Glamour. HP promises "chic design and high end entertai

Attractive design; Extensive interface equipment; Docking option; Blu-Ray drive; 1080p Full HD Display; First-class sound system

Case susceptible to dirt and appearance of wear; Glazed, gummy surfaces of the touchpad and keys; Weak illumination of the display, partly strong reflections; Comparatively weak 3D performance; High surface temperatures possible; Short battery life...

What can be reflective on a laptop. We've obviously already become used to glare displays, now reflective touchpads are coming into fashion.

HP HDX16t User Review

I am a college student traveling out of state and I needed a quality notebook to replace my desktop. I am a Computer Science Engineering major, and I enjoy playing games every so often. So I needed the laptop to be more than just a web-browsing...

High Definition at all times (true 720p with 1366x768 screen, and true 1080p with 1920x1080 screen) ; Full keyboard ; Battery life for 12-cell battery ; Discrete graphics ; Replaces desktop adequately

Media smart bar (bar above keyboard with volume control) skips a lot at random ; Weighs ~10 pounds ; Not super mobile (but that shouldn't matter with a portable desktop replacement)

I had to call customer support to make sure my rebate went through. The operator I spoke to was very pleasant and knowledgeable while offering useful support. Overall, it was a pleasant experience with customer support. I was going to get the 1-year...

The HP HDX 16 that we're looking at today is a not exactly something standard. Unlike most notebooks that offer either 15.x or 17.x inch screens, the HDX 16, as the name suggests, offers a 16″ screen. Obviously that makes it a bit bigger than your...

Review: HP HDX 16

You've seen the second commercial from Microsoft's Laptop Hunters series, right? You know, the one where G-diddy picks up the HP HDX 16 over a MacBook Pro. I won't get into the PC vs Mac argument, but Giampaolo chose poorly because he didn't know what...

HP HDX16-1005EA 16in Blu-ray Notebook

Has HP cracked the 16:9 multimedia notebook with the HDX 16? We definitely think so.

If you're after a fully-featured desktop replacement with "all the trimmings", the HP HDX 16 delivers on pretty much every level and represents superb value for money. In fact, we can't think of any reasonable reason not to buy it.
