HP Pavilion dv2000 Notebook
After commencement on Sunday, 1 June 2008 from Carroll High School, I recieved my graduation presents, like any normal teenager, fresh out of high school. I got a HP Pavilion dv2000, among some other things. The specs are as follows:
- AMD Turion 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-60 and 512KB+512KB L2 Cache (2.0 GHz)
- 250GB (5400RPM) Hard Drive
- 3072MB DDR2 SDRAM (2 Dimm)
- LightScribe Super Multi 8X DVD+_RW with Double Layer Support
- Windows Vista Ultimate (64-bit) with SP1
- HP QuickPlay
- Hp Mobile Remote Control
- Mobile Stereo Earbud Headphones
- Fingerprint Reader
- HP Webcam
- 14.1″ WXGA High-Definition BrightView Widescreen Display (1280 x 800)
- nVidia GeForce 7150M with shared graphics memory
- 802.11a/b/g/n (draft 802.11n) WLAN
- 5-in-1 Digital Media Reader
- ExpressCard/54 PC Card Slot
- Expansion Port 3
- 6-Cell Lithium-Ion battery
My personal analysis:
Pros:
- Fingerprint reader integrated into Vista and logon/locking
- Media controls–touch sensitive
- Light-weight
- Webcam/Microphone
- Cool design on top
- Two headphone jacks in front
- Remote included (not used that much)
- MultiCard reader
Cons:
- No numberpad besides the function key thing
- Three usb ports–lame
- Small screen (1280 x 800)
- Warm area near where hands rest while typing
- Keyboard doesn’t light up
- Doesn’t have an included little prop-thing to incline notebook
- No bluetooth
- Have to buy the expansion thing to have more ports =/ ($100 something)
- Hp QuickPlay is annoying, but deactivatable
- Media buttons are easily pressed (not that big of a deal)
Overall, nice machine. Consider it. I only wish that I would have gotten a blutooth-enabled one, and the Artist Edition. Going to buy the expansion port because I want three monitors. =]
Now I just wish I could find a machine that supported multiple mice, because who doesn’t want to navigate windows/the web with two cursors?
I got this back in April, when our Sprint contracts were renewed. Here’s some specs from
