HDX 18

 

HP's HDX line is fairly straightforward--it courts multimedia fiends. From its double-wide demeanor (with ample room for full QWERTY keys and a keypad) to all the plugs and ports offered here, the HDX18--a fairly fashionable desktop replacement--will...

Big, beautiful 18.4-inch display Good speakers

Screen is a little too glossy Slightly redundant multimedia software

What kind of price can you put on this kind of entertainment PC? Quite a bit, actually. Our machine, as configured, will run you upwards of $2300. If that's a little too rich for your blood, scale back features, and you can get a baseline model for...

The HP’s massive screen almost requires you to watch some HD content from a Blu-ray disc or your telly. Excellent graphical performance will please all but the most stuck-up gamers. Reasonable price, considering its teeming features

The swooshy “liquid metal” paint job probably isn’t for everyone. Volume, bass and treble controls are flaky

HP HDX18t

 

The HDX18t has a stellar list of features. Unlike Acer with the 8920G and Toshiba with the G55-Q80w, HP had enough sense to put in an internal ATSC TV tuner. After all, the big screens are the highlight of these systems, and a tuner is just another way...

Remarkable 18.4-inch screen. Superb 1080p resolution. Desirable design and chrome interior. Integrated ATSC TV tuner. Variety of connectivity ports. Centrino 2 platform. Outstanding performance numbers

Pricey

The 18.4-inch screen will stop you in your tracks, and you'll soon realize that everything—not just the screen—screams high-end multimedia laptop.

HP HDX 18t User Review

 

I thought of my first personal computer as I was unboxing my new HP HDX 18 laptop. There in front of me was the sexiest computer I had ever laid eyes on since my first computer 20 years ago. (And believe me, folks, I've used a LOT of computers in that...

With dozens of computer manufacturers offering dozens of different laptop models, in every size, speed, and price point imaginable, true standout models are hard to find. Downright sexy laptops are even harder to come by. I can truthfully say, however,...

HP HDX 18t Review

 

HP recently unveiled their latest additions to the "HDX" family of notebooks with the all new HDX 16 and HDX 18 multimedia notebooks. These notebooks feature large displays with a 16:9 screen ratio, impressive speakers with an integrated subwoofer, and...

Great port selection ; Nice keyboard (when the sun isn't reflecting off it) ; Great speakers ; Beautiful screen ; Overall high performance

Infinity" screen creates strong reflections in bright light ; Silver keyboard creates strong reflections in sunlight ; Sticky" touchpad surface ; Good graphics, but HP could have offered an even better option in a notebook this large

In any case, the HP HDX 18 still offers a great overall package, including some really impressive built-in speakers, that will meet or exceed the expectations of most consumers

HP HDX 18 Entertainment PC

 

HP's HDX 18 Entertainment PC is a notebook, but not in the portability sense of the word. With an 18.4-inch diagonal screen and a carry weight of 10 pounds, 9 ounces, you might occasionally move this monster from room to room, but you won't take it...

Strong CPU performance, appealing features, attractive looks

Poor gaming performance, too big and heavy for portability, pricey

Another big part of the HDX 18’s feature set is aesthetics. Touches like the stylish but subtle line pattern inlaid in the rig’s chassis, the chrome siding and touchpad, the seamless bezel around the screen, and the illuminated touch-sensitive media...

Review: HP HDX18 notebook

 

One trend that started to gain momentum last year was the move to 16:9 aspect ratio displays for notebooks. Despite the wide adoption of 16:10, with an increasing amount of people using laptops as entertainment devices and Blu-ray appearing more often...
