HP Pavilion DV7, imprint-finish lid and media-rich features, just price right

July 6, 2010 - PRLog -- The Pavilion dv7-1025nr incorporates all the familiar Pavilion features: Altec Lansing stereo speakers, dual headphone jacks, a DVD burner with LightScribe, and an expansion port to connect to an HP docking station. The high-end desktop also adds an HDMI port for high-definition video and an eSATA port that's good for hooking up external SATA hard drives. Wow, this is pack full for the price.

The retail-only Pavilion dv7-1025nr comes in a single fixed configuration built around Intel's newest Centrino 2 platform; components include a 2.26GHz Core 2 Duo P8400 CPU (one of the new "power optimized" models) and a generous 4GB of fast 800MHz RAM, with 64-bit  Window 7 ready. Its  attractive black-and-silver case, "frameless" display bezel, and chart-topping multimedia performance (thanks to new Centrino 2 components) embody the continued refinement of HP's consumer laptop line.

The Pavilion dv7-1025nr lasted 2 hours and 39 minutes on the battery benchmark, making it (along with the Gateway P-7811FX) one of the longest-lived Pavilion 17-inch systems in the  high-end back-to-school laptops category. The 16-inch Sony Vaio FW140, with its less power-hungry integrated graphics, outlasted both the HP and the Gateway by more than 30 minutes.

Brilliantstore.com offers a longer lasting battery, 12 Cells 7200mAH high-end capacity.
