This high performance desktop replacement packs a considerable amount of multimedia performance into a reasonably priced 9-pound laptop.
The amazingly bright 17-inch display is great for watching movies and editing photos, while a 2-GHz Dual Core processor makes strong business functionality a breeze.
A Nvidia GeForce Go 7400 graphics card and 128MB of video memory, meanwhile, provide adequate (although not stunning) graphical capability for the casual gamer.
All in all, the Pavilion dv8000t is competitively priced for its impressive set of features. Although somewhat heavy, and thus not recommended for the frequent traveler, this machine does offer a good mix of desktop-level performance and entertainment power for most mainstream laptop users.
