We will not cover the design of machines and the three tested laptop are exactly the same as design, quality display and peripheral components. Will only recall that the design of the Pavilion series not remain indifferent to anyone and my opinion is much more stylish new dv4, dv5, dv7, which are an overview of our site. HP Pavilion series is very criticized in the Internet space, and it mostly AMD variant of the dv9000, dv6000. The reason for this criticism is the diligence of HP to be an environmental company and change termo-paste leaded solders and such, which do not harm the environment – that lead to lower efficiency please contact surfaces and overheating. On the other hand are not well placed vents of machinery is a prerequisite for overheating and possible damage. Most of the blame for failures and brings pampered buyer who buys a 17-inch laptop mainly to use it in bed, but this is not work for such a machine. Laptop, which stopped him access to fresh air fans immediately began to overheat. It is known that AMD never made effective protection from overheating of the CPU, something that exists in INTEL years. Starting from these premises, other weak place of these models is to disbonding videochip and it mainly GeForce 8400/8600 series. Problems of most of these series of NVidia not only laptops to HP, DELL for example, has lawsuits against NVidia. Special NVidia 8400 is the most common of all video producers, because there are a lot cheaper DX10, HDMI, and hardware acceleration for HDTV. Very similar is the core of the GF8600, but the bus has 128-bit video card and demontrira much better performance. There are GS and GT versions of the GF8600. Unfortunately for us is weaker 8600 GS version. During normal operation (work hard flat surface, nezaprashena environment at least once a year blowing the ventilation system) these beautiful laptops can operate reliably and securely. In today’s review will involve three of the laptop pavilion dv9000 series: 1. AMD Turion X2 TL-60 2.00GHz, GeForce 7600 256MB DDR2; 2. Intel Core2Duo T5300 1.73GHz 2MB, GeForce 7600 256MB DDR2; 3. Intel Pentium Dual Core T2390 1.86Ghz 1MB, GeForce 8600M 512MB DDR2. Main purpose of our review is to clarify the difference in the performance of graphics processors and to allow buyers to decide what version of the dv9000 suits them. I will mention that the price of Intel-based laptops is significantly more expensive than that of AMD machines. HP Pavilion dv9000 laptop with a large screen, powerful sound and video cards are serious, this is a laptop for games, movies and multimedia. So I will first do a test of the popular graphics package 3DMark (2001, 2003, 2005, 2006).

DELL Studio XPS 1640, DELL Studio 1737 and HP Pavilion dv9000

Subjected to a test three similar in size and specifications, high-tech notebooks designed for business and residential customers. The purpose of the review is to assess the real pros and cons of these great multimedia notebooks, so let’s turn our attention first to the hardware capabilities. For the Dell XPS series can be spoken much, but today will focus on the hybrid model DELL Studio XPS 1640, which will compare with Dell Studio 1737 and HP Pavilion DV9000. True to its, DELL used in its high-end series of the latest technology, combined with a widescreen display with which to experience such a machine can really be felt. HP, in turn, can also boast a good display and stable history in multimedia notebooks. Let’s look in more detail Dell Studio XPS 1640. This series is a hybrid combination of two others: XPS and Studio, the first is the infamous game series XPS, and the second Studio – portable multimedia platform. The first thing that impresses is the stylish appearance, which was taken from the series Studio. Beautiful screen maintains the highest resolution in its class, namely, Full HD, 1920 to 1080 pixels. This is the first 16 “notebook that supports Full HD resolution, which is due to its LED display from the last generation, doing the colors look so real that you feel part of the landscape. But what was so good screen without sound hardware support to show its full capabilities? The powerful Intel C2D of 2.24 GHz in combination with one of the best video card for notebook PCs at the moment – ATI Mobility Radeon HD3670 512MB DDR3 and DDR3 memory type (which can be expanded to 8GB) running on Dual Channel makes Dell Studio XPS 1640 hard to beat by any competitor in this class. In addition to the powerful hardware, DELL and not saving features such as Blu-ray Rom, TV tuner, big hard drive (ranging between 300GB – 500GB), Broadband Wi-Fi adapter, FireWire and HDMI port for direct connection to a larger screen. Overall, this series is Dell’s whims for users who are also expecting a good design and great productivity, combined with the extras. Big plus is the weight of the laptop, which is about 3kg, and competition in this class moves around 3.5 kilograms – 3.9 kilograms. So much for Dell Studio XPS 1640, now let’s look at his brother – Studio 1737. Close in hardware and vision, this notebook is juicy, as a substitute for home PC. With its 17 “screen, but with lower resolution – 1440×900. The appearance of business-oriented design is not unheard of features such as webcam with high resolution, Fingerprint scanner, Blu-Ray Rom, HDMI output. What many people like this model is comfortable with large touchpad buttons (I prefer always to gilding mouse). The processor is Intel C2D Penryn again to 2.24 GHz with 3MB cache, a video card is ATI Mobility Radeon HD3650 of 256MB DDR3. It’s a little bit weaker than that of the “hybrid” XPS Studio and this is felt in the hardware tests below. I kazal that in games and movies, there will be a big difference, because the resolution itself and the screen is smaller. RAM memory in this model is DDR3, also running on Dual Channel and surprisingly has less delay than the Studio XPS-a. The main task of this machine is to serve as business users and the ones who want to have a widescreen laptop for multimedia and gaming, and good price of this notebook is one of the main advantages. The third laptop, which the testing is now HP Pavilion DV9000. In previous publications have shown how to handle Crysis and processing of 3D graphics, and what are the main problems with it. Of course this does not preclude him tested again and compare it with Dell Studio XPS Dell Studio 1640 and 1737. From the table of hardware specifications judge that this machine is less sensitive than Dell-s. The screen is 17 “and its matrix of 1440 supported a resolution of 900 pixels, imposed as a standard in this class. Having less will note that in all three models have screens with a shiny surface that reflects ambient light. Personally, I prefer matte screens, but recently, the trend in top producers of the country is bright. In my opinion, the design is much weaker than that of Dell, but that is not connected in any way with the performance of the machine. “Under the hood” HP DV9000, has INTEL Pentium Dual Core T2390 1.8 GHz, DDR2 running on Dual Channel and mobile GeForce 8600M GS. Such a configuration is not alone in yielded none of the desktop computer and the game is good enough to new games spurred a decent resolution and 3D detail.
