Category:
A laptop, also known as a notebook, is a portable computer. When you are looking for the right laptop, it is important to know where you are going to work with it. Do you want to use it on the road? Choose a model with a special energy-saving 'mobile' processor, a good battery and a reasonably small display. This will allow you to work longer with the same battery and saves you the trouble of carrying around a large display that consumes a lot of precious battery power. Or will you be using you laptop mainly in places where you will have access to a power outlet? Then choose a desktop processor (more processing power for less money) and an ordinary battery. This will save you a lot of money, which you could then spend on a bigger screen. You'll work faster because you can view more information at once and it's great for multimedia!

Need a calculator to figure out whether a notebooks screen fits the newly fashionable 16:9 aspect ratio for high-def video and TV viewing? The HP Pavilion dv7-2170us ($1,099.98 list) makes it easy for you: The widebodys 17.3-inch display resolutio...
Good A handsome laptop (OK, tabletop) entertainment center. Hollywood-worthy screen. Brisk general-purpose performance. Cute remote control hides in ExpressCard slot.
Bad Blu-ray and a TV tuner would be welcome additions. Graphics not up for hardcore gaming. Small cursor-control keys (unless you use the numeric keypads). Ample crapware.
Bottom line For over a grand, we would have liked to have seen Blu-ray and/or ultra-fast gaming graphics, but the HP Pavilion dv7-2170us is a stylish slab thats surprisingly attractive anyway...

Good Comfortable, full-sized keyboard plus numeric keypad. Appealing MediaSmart multimedia software and mini remote control. Not-half-bad battery life.
