Disclaimer This notebook is on loan from HP for purpose of this review, playing games, watching movies, smudging and weight lifting. For that reason, my judgment on how awesome it is may be impaired. However, trust me on one thing, it doesnt make it any smaller. The pre production model I received has inside CPU Intel Core 2 Duo T7. GHz engineering sampleMemory 2. GB 2x. 1GB DDR2 PC2 5.

The notebook part of this computer is only used to describe its slim line and foldable form factor. If you want to move this machine around, you can, but youll want to put it on a hardy surface for long term use. The 2. 0 inch widescreen display doesnt fold away like an origami, so the size of the body is just as wide, which leaves an enormous footprint. It is also quite heavy, weighing about 7kgs, which has the positive side effect of stabilizing itself. Theres no way you could nudge it without lifting any of the 9 rubber foots. You definitely dont want to carry this anywhere in a backpack, even if you can find a backpack to fit it. None of the standard laptop bags I have could fit it. Based on the logic you get out what you put in, you can imagine how much juice this machine sucks. Many of the other reviews have described how big the power brick is. Gta Vice City Manual Transmission. I thought they were just exaggerating, but they werent. Lately HP has been working their industrial designers pretty hard to come up with some refreshing designs for their new generation PCs ex. Touch. Smart and their hard work really shows in the details. Subtle stylized line art covers the entire back cover and front metallic panel gives it an unique finish up close. The coated gloss finish also serves as a surface for oil based finger paintings. The remote clicks in perfectly beside the keyboard and can be removed easily by sliding a slider on the right. The neat thing is that it also works whilst docked in the keyboard, even though its not pointing at the IR receiver on the front. A range of indicators with cool blue LEDs line up the top of the keyboard. A fingerprint scanner sits directly in the middle of this row. Right handed users like myself might feel this is a little uncomfortable to use since its so far left in relative to where the right hand usually lies. And the coolest thing is that theyre touch sensitive using capacitive technology. To turn on or off the wireless, simply tap the wireless indicator. To change the volume, simply drag your finger across the volume bar left or right. Not only does it look cool, this touchpad feels much smoother to use than a traditional touchpad. The dedicated vertical scrollpad is a huge plus. Special note, this touchpad also work if your fingers are wet. Traditional touchpads dont work if youve just washed your hands, this one has no problems picking up wet fingers. I also really like the mouse buttons for the touchpad. Having used some clunky buttons in the past which dont really quite click unless you click the absolutely middle and when you do click they make a loud sound, these large and rounded buttons make very little noise and are extremely soft to click. The integrated webcam sits neatly inside the top bevel of the display screen. Because it is embedded into the panel, it only allows for slight vertical tilt adjustments. To top it all off, a light up HP logo on the back panel. Theres even room to draw my own stickers. Just kidding. This pre production sample is missing stickers. The screen is held up by two hinges which act independently to control tilt and angle. What it allows is the screen to face up without going behind the keyboard. However because the hinges dont have any locks, if you touch the screen, it will move. The screen also doesnt sit on the bottom panel, so it floats a few millimeters in the air. It will however not move by itself the hinge will hold its position if you dont touch it. So much of this machine is the display, both by size and by feature, so the expectation is set pretty high. This photo doesnt do the screen justice, but Im glad to say this is a gorgeous display. The warm up time is really amazing, taking only just a few seconds before reaching full brightness. I dont have the brightness or contrast specifications with me, but the whites are bright, blacks are dark and the colors are really vivid. The viewing angle is very good as well reaching around 1. There was only a small amount of light leak at the top and bottom of the display, which can be seen if you paid attention during black screens. The screen is however a reflective screen which helps produce the deep blacks and vivid colors, but also produce screen glare. Whilst the high brightness helps, theres not much else you can do about the glare except to move the unit around, which you can. Noise wise, this machine is absolutely silent. Itll be hard to believe me when I say this, I dont even believe it myself, but I cant tell the difference between when this machine is on or off. Only when you lie your head on the keyboard, you can hear a slight noise of some fans spinning but at sitting distance its pure bliss. Even when I run graphics benchmarking software, both the GPU and CPU dont seem to create any more noise. I dont know what sort of cooling magic theyve got going under the hood, but its one of the best Ive heard so far. Absolutely perfect for movies. Speaking of movies, believe it or not there are 5 speakers on this machine. There are 4 at the front panel and one subwoofer. Having experienced some ear damaging notebook speakers in the past, I was a little skeptical on how this would work. Altec Lansing is of course a trusted manufacturer of reasonable speaker systems so that helped, but I still dont think this audio experience can compare with even a 7. For one, the speakers at the front panel are extremely directional. If the screen is not tilted facing directly at you, the sound will be considerably quieter and hollow. Hp Pavilion Elite HPE 5.
