Intel Core 2 Quad Processor

The Updated Quad-Core HP Pavilion dv7t Laptop

HP have updated the Pavilion dv7t laptop with a new Quad edition.  This powerful quad-core 17 inch notebook is designed for multimedia performance, and comes with a long and impressive spec sheet and flexible configuration options.

The Pavilion dv7t features an Intel Core i7 processor, with the quad-core 7-2630QM CPU, i7-2720QM CPU, or i7-2820QM CPU to choose from.  The display is 17.3 inches diagonal with a resolution of 1600 x 900 pixels.  Other specs include the choice of up to a 660GB dual hard drive and 8MB of DDR3 RAM.

The design of the Pavilion dv7t sports a dark brown or steel colour, with a brushed metallic finish on top of a plastic and aluminium shell.  The keyboard sits on a glossy black backing, and comes in standard chiclet style with an included number pad and glossy touchpad.

In terms of connectivity, there is a very good selection of ports on offer, including 2 USB 3.0, 2 USB 2.0, HDMI, VGA, a Kensington secure lock, and a multi format card reader.  While there is no Display Port or Express Card ports, pretty much everything else is included.  There is also a HP TrueVision webcam that can capture video up to a resolution of 1280 x 800.

The graphics performance comes courtesy of an integrated Intel HD Graphics chip and a discrete AMD Radeon HD 6770M GPU with 1GB of video memory.  There is on-board switching technology that takes care of chip selection, although a number of reports are saying it is not as good as Nvidia’s Optimus technology.

This HP computer is heavily customisable, with a number of options available.  You can choose among different processors, hard drive sizes, graphics, memory, and whether you have a Blu-ray drive or not.  The base model is selling for $1,099, with a mid-range configuration likely to put you back more than $1,500.

Customer Reviews:

Probably the best value for any processor at this point in time… I spent several days researching the differences between all the current Intel processors before finally deciding on this one. The problem is that most of them are very close in price so it’s difficult to make a decision on price alone. I found that when you consider all the factors like number of cores, mhz, cache and price, this is the best option. It is fast enough for the most demanding multimedia and games and has all the energy saving features so you won’t waste energy while doing something like typing word documents. If you are building strictly for gaming then you should probably spend the extra $30 on the Q9550 even though this one will do quite well if paired with a high end graphics card. On the other hand, if you are building as a office type computer for email and word processing etc, you should probably save the $20 and go with the E8400. This one is the perfect middle ground for great performance at a great price!

General overview This is a real amazing processing unit, it is optimized to create edit or playing back HD multimedia content, it has a real low operating temperature even if you are demanding all of the power it can give, i have a intel extreme motherboard with 6 Gb of Ddr3 1333 mhz a 500 Gb hard disk, and a 256Mb pci express video card, i use it for editing every kind of digital content, i use the power of the cpu at 90% all the time, i dont power off the computer at any time, i really think it is a great option to bild a powerford pc at a great price, so i recomend this nice piece of hardware is a real must have.
