Expert review by : contrast, of course, a laptop can open for busines (hardwarecentral.com)

HardwareCentral - HP Pavilion DV8000Z Review.

 

Like most multimedia desktop replacements these days, the DV8000Z features a 17-inch-diagonal widescreen display. It's available with a 1,680 by 1,050-pixel version of HP's BrightView -- a glossy black rather than grayish LCD akin to Sony's XBrite,...

Four of the function keys serve as play/pause, stop, previous, and next buttons (as they do in Windows if you also press a Fn key); the MP3 feature lets you save and select music playlists. Some of the keyboard controls are a bit awkward and you must...

big screen, widescreen, calculator button on keyboard, number pad

short battery life, too hot to keep on lap, very heavy

Problem plagued laptop

 

I was extremely eager to get this laptop the very week it came out on HP.com and only went with HP because of the problems that most people I knew were having with their Dell and Toshiba laptops, and I heard HP was fairly reliable. After placing my ...

Give me more power!

 

I purchased this machine for my small business. I have always purchased Compaq computers in the past. However, with the merger of HP and Compaq I decided to try an HP. Ordering and specifying what I wanted in my computer was very easy. Great program ...

Runs both XP and Vista with no problems. Lightweight for such a large screen.

Poor design of the insert pin for the cord. HP customer service was bad.
