HP Pavilion HDX

This laptop is ranked as the top 5 DirectX 10 gaming notebook... for those who dont noe wat is directX... Here it is...


Microsoft DirectX (Direct eXtension) is a collection of application programming interface for handling task related to multimedia, especially game programing and vedio, on Microsoft platform. It is a direct competitor of the OpenGL standard. The latest version of DirectX is DirectX 10 which is onli available in Windows Vista.


The following are the full specifications of the laptop... take a deep breath first before reading it... it might just shock u...


Intel Core 2 Duo T7700 2.4Ghz, <-- Super Duper Fast
667Mhz FSB, 4MB L2 Cache
4GB DDR II RAM <-- Too Much of RAM for me but its good..
400GB Hard Disk Drive
ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT, 256MB GRAM <-- High Quality Graphics
DVD Super Multi Drive
20.1" TFT LCD <-- Wide screen... But its a little too big to carry
WiFi, Bluetooth,
1.3 M pixel web camera, Finger print sensor
Windows Vista Ultimate <-- Vista Ultimate... U gotta be Kidding...
7 kg (with battery) <-- Too Heavy....





OK... That was a hell of a spec for me... its like a dream machine... it has a very powerful processor... T7700 is rarely seen in the market or even in the outside market... i've seen T7200 and T7400... About the RAM... Windows Vista is said to have best performance with 2GB of RAM (thats wat im using) ... But 4GB of RAM... that is crazy... But it will allow users to get the maximum performance out of their games.... 400 GB HDD??? the first thing that comes to my mind when i see this big hard disk capacity is storing A LOT of movie files...


ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT is a high performance graphic card that will be able to support high-end games.... for more info on this graphic card and its comparison to other graphic card, it can be found here... the screen size is rather big... 20.1"... i cant imagine my self carrying it around... it will be like carrying a samsung LCD monitor around... and its weight.... 7kg... u gotta be kidding me... its like carrying 3 normal weight laptop (2.4kg).... i mean a laptop has to be mobile.. this makes it sound like a desktop...


Prem's conclusion: This laptop has a great performance and gamers will crave for it... but i feel its not the ideal choice for me judging on the screen size and the weight... i dun think i will like the idea of carrying around... there is no price given for this laptop when i read bout it and this laptop has not been released in Malaysia yet...
