HP Pavilion DV6700T Laptop PC Reivew luxury notebook

Everyday users and multimedia enthusiasts will find a lot to like about the HP Pavilion dv6700t, an update to the dv6500t. This high-end configuration of one of our favorite all-purpose machines offers a stylish design, fast performance, and plenty of extras—including a Blu-ray drive and a TV tuner—for the dedicated diversion seeker.

The HP Pavilion dv6700t is an impressive notebook for 2008, despite the fact that the basic shape hasn't changed at all since the dv6000t. The combination of performance, stylish design, extremely durable construction/finish, and a wide array of media controls makes the dv6700t one of the best notebook choices for average consumers among 15.4" systems. After close comparison to
new Dell Inspiron 1525 battery the only thing Dell really offers over this HP notebook is an extra USB port and a slightly lower starting price. That said, the dv6700t is still the better choice since it offers the option of dedicated graphics (as seen in the dv6780se). Bottom line, although the overall design hasn't changed in two years the hp pavilion dv6700t battery delivers modern day performance and plenty of multimedia extras with style and an affordable price tag.

Our review unit of the dv6700t (dv6780se) has the following specifications:
  • Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit)
  • Intel Core 2 Duo processor T5450 (1.66GHz, 2MB L2 Cache, 667MHz FSB)
  • 15.4" WXGA High-Definition HP BrightView Widescreen Display (1280 x 800)
  • 3GB DDR2 System Memory
  • NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS (256MB dedicated memory)
  • HP Imprint (Clay) Finish + Webcam + Microphone
  • Integrated Altec Lansing stereo speakers
  • Intel PRO/Wireless 4965AGN Network Connection
  • 250GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
  • LightScribe SuperMulti 8X DVD+/-RW with Double Layer Support
  • 12-Cell Lithium Ion Battery
  • Dimensions (with 12-cell battery, including feet): 14.1" (L) x 10.1" (W) x 0.75" (min H)/2.0" (max H)
  • Weight: 6 lb 10 oz (6.625 lb)
  • 65W AC adapter

The dv6700t has more than enough performance for a full range of multimedia entertainment needs thanks to the range of Core 2 Duo processors that are available. Even the entry-level 1.66GHz T5450 packs a powerful punch. The included nVidia 8400M GS dedicated graphics card with 256MB of RAM in our review unit provides plenty of power for games and streaming media over the web. While the 3DMark06 benchmark results might not be as impressive as what we saw in the new Dell XPS M1530, the pavilion dv6700t battery still provides more than enough power for average gaming needs.

Additionally, the 250GB hard drive in the dv6780se is more storage than most consumers are likely to need in a laptop. Sure, if you download tons of music, movies, and TV shows then you'll quickly fill the 250GB hard drive in a few months ... but that's what external hard drives are for.
