4.0 out of 5 starsExcellent Value

May 5, 2009

Verified Purchase

The HP DV7-2040US is a great value.I always multi-task and use some really resource intensive programs.This machine is able to handle it.I had been considering a Quad-Core notebook for some time, but did not want to drop $3,000 – $5,000 for bleeding edge technology.HP has a winner here as a platform, however, I have a few caveats.The specs state that it has full screen HD.DO NOT MISTAKE THAT FOR FULL HI-DEF RESOLUTION. You may have to hunt to find the resolution buried in the technical specs, it is only 1600 x 900.This machine does NOT have A single 500GB hard drive, rather, it has two 5400 rpm hard drives.The machine is fast enough that the supplied drives have to labor to keep up.This machine uses DDR2 memory, so you will not get bleeding edge speed, but then again if you want to upgrade to 8GB’s of RAM, you should be able to do it for the DDR2 price of less than $300 as of this writing rather than the DDR3 price of $600 – $800.As I said, for the money, this is a great value.Lots of processing power, handles graphics and any chore like the workhorse computers from which it is descended.

The DV7-2040US is superb in every respect.It has all of the latest techncial bells and whistles, from employing the latest quad core processor to the LED backlit screen, which is not just bright, which it is, but also has great contrast.With four CPUs and eight execution threads performance seems ready for anything you want to throw at it. The wireless connects very quickly, much faster than my previous Toshiba, and this laptop runs cooler.I was especially pleased by the construction of the HP.The feel of the keyboard and mousepad exudes quality. This is a laptop that you look forward to using.And from a fashion perspective, it seems to be the Apple of the PC world – from the lit logo on the corner of the cover to the carbon fiber touches and illuminated controls.At this price point it’s a terrific bargain.Received trouble free shipping from Amazon.

Great laptop, but it must be loaded with blue-ray and extended battery also if there is the same specifications with screen about 14 or 15 utmost other than that is it a great deal, you must have it! (If you need a laptop in first place 🙂 ).

Be ware that this laptop is not compatible with Windows 7 at all!

4.0 out of 5 starsNice desktop replacement, first ‘new’ laptop

June 9, 2009

I work with computers for a living so i’ve always built and maintained my own systems but have held off on getting myself a laptop.They’ve always been too small or slow or both – until now.For what I am going to be using it for, it fits me perfectly.I like having dual hard drives (2×250) so I could upgrade to SSD (which I plan to do for even more speed) at a later date.I’ve upgraded my system from 4GB to 8GB and Vista lasted long enough to get a entire system backup.I then formatted the system and installed Windows 7.No matter how big or fast a laptop you buy, Vista will always seem like a dog when compared to 7 or XP.Installing 7, it loaded most of the important drivers (wireless, lan and video) that is needed to get up and running – you will still need to download the rest of the vista drivers for the other odds/ends, but was for the most part painless.I’ve got OpenOffice and AVG antivirus (both free) installed.Be sure to adjust your power profiles within 7 (or Vista for that matter) to get the performance you want during on or off battery use.Mine out of the box was ‘vanilla’ and needed ramped up a bit to get full use.Just keep in mind this will change how long your battery will last, if you use it much on battery (which I do not). All in all, the only thing I would change about this laptop is – it is a bit too glossy for me.Sure it looks nice and stuff right out of the box, but shows a lot of prints.Also, it can get warm if you lay it on your lap for long periods of time.Not sure if this is the right laptop to take with you on long flights across the country – it would probably stick out along the edges of your food tray, not to mention the heft as a carry on.A 15″ with a quad core would be nicer if you travel often.I’ve owned it about a week now and would purchase it again without hesitation.
Tip – if you plan to upgrade to 8GB of memory, seach ebay…I bought mine for 225.(8GB 2x4gb) Windows experience under Vista was 5.5 (disks being weakest link), Win 7 was 5.6 (again, disks being weakest link – Proc/Ram scored 7.0)

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent for H.264 encoding

May 29, 2009

I bought this computer because it’s the cheapest name-brand quad-core laptop I could find.I’m re-encoding some video into H.264 and need lots of computer power.This HP encodes in 2.5 hours what my 2GHz Pentium M mono-core Dell would do in 23 hours.The laptop puts out a good bit of heat with all four cores cranking away, so it might be too hot to rest on one’s lap — best to keep it on a table or desk for the CPU chomping.

The laptop comes with Windows Vista Home.I re-partitioned the hard drives and installed Windows 7 RC1 from the Microsoft website and the 64bit Vista drivers from the HP website.Most drivers work except the for Synaptics — that I had to get from the Synaptics website.The laptop runs flawlessly.Beware that HP doesn’t supply the Windows XP drivers for this laptop in case you’re thinking of using XP.
