  • This was definitely one of THE best laptops of its time. Mine still runs games relatively well, although without proper ventilation, it will get very hot. I would still be using it today if the screen hadn't short circuited, rendering the display useless, and if I bought a new battery. If I could get that for free, I wouldn't be using this Dell XPS 17. I do wish I bought the HP Pavilion dv7t quad edition laptop instead of the dell also.

  • How many gb of ram?

  • i got this one :D

  • MEIN TEIL!!!! anyone? anyone?

  • im sorry, but it's no were near as beautiful as the MacBook Pro...

    *awaits hate comments*

  • Have had one for two years now, still love it, I would recommend a stand with fans because this baby gets hot!

  • i m watching this on mine

  • CONS :

    Came with Vista, sux. Get WIN 7

    Runs Xtra HOT. Must Get a Cooler

    Battery,I Get only 20 Minutes unplugged after 1 Year

    Subwoofer blew out first week

    PROS:

    HDMI for connecting to Big Screen

    Games Run like BUTTER !

    You Can connect an eSata Drive, Perfect for Tracking Audio,Editing Video

    This may be my LAST Windows PC purchase. Apple bound

  • I HAVE ONE HDX FOR SALE ANY ONE WANTS TO BUY .. IT HASS 6 G 500 HARD T9000 PROCEOR 3.6 DUAL

  • trust me, there's better laptops than this. mine gets viruses like crazy...

  • this is the total opposite to how Apple advertise the Macs isn't it :L

  • does anyone know how to connect this laptop so you can watch tv on it? thanks x

  • the best leptop of the world

  • i have one it awesome only it is easy 2 break

  • shit thing about this laptop is that it only has 2 usb ports

  • @r3never dude this laptop has 4 usb ports

  • whats the difference between a notebook computer and a laptop?

  • i got this right now as i type, but what i'm tryin to figure out is how to use the webcam

  • go onto start then earch at the bottom "CYBERLIBk you cam" and there it is

  • i broke the mouse button thingy and can't fix it :(

  • which is the name of the song? pleaseeee

  • do u know where you can get a keypad cover so the keys don't rub off

  • i just got it it has a very nice performance

  • The ONLY bad thing about this laptop is its keypad design, MAKE SURE you don't use the keys constantly at hot temperatures (55-70) or else the keys will start to turn black, I have my left shift and letter A keys almost half black now and it sucks because I gotta change the whole keyboard to change them :(!. Another problem is that it gets dirty all the time, and dust is a pain to get rid of from all its edges, especially the keyboard edge. Overall 9/10, TAKE REAL CARE for its body and ENJOY!!

  • if you want i could buy your laptop.

    contact me to talk about it.

  • wow nice laptop, i ordered mine on wed 13th oct 09 on laptopsdirect site hp hdx18 1320ea top model,  i should get it tomorrow friday :Pcant wait. i got it 4 £1,279 plus £12.. recovery disk + pre inpection ano £39 wich is not bad to check screen got no dead pixels and system is ok.

  • same here, I got it for Euro 1,100 from laptops direct. It was a bloody bargain back in October 08 because the English Pound was weak so I had an advantage paying with Euros hehe :P!

    I am really in love with it, and NEVER gave me any hardware or external feature problems so far even after a year, which is good compared to other laptops I had >( (MSI and Dell). The only problem I have is that it gets dirty all the time and my left side keys are fading to black /cry, Wear and Tear problems.

  • cool, my laptop not come today so prop get it next monday, i got my old laptop hp dv8030ea model never had problems at all, only black cover abit worn out colour came off where speakers inside are, mouse pad abit worn out colour came off other than that, everything is fine but ye my laptop getting old now keeps making noise somtimes when i watch utube videoes and somtimes it goes off completely, nothing i can do aleast it does start up.

  • that why i had enough using old laptop with xp, i want to get new feel on vista and maybe windows 7 i can upgrade which is coming out next week. ye you just have to look after and take care with your laptop does get dirty easily, once you finish with laptop just get cover to cover it.

  • That's what I usually do, but when you are using it, your hands will leave some dirt and "oil" or sweat on the internal frame because its glossy. When I got it, I always used the sock that came with it to cover it, but once you are at university carrying it all around with you, its a pain to keep covering all the time, and that's when problems started also with my keys wearing off.

    Get windows 7, vista sucks compared to it.

  • ye i will get windows 7 upgrade free first i need to wait 4 laptop wich as got serial keys i need to buy direct hp online, i just have to for shipping not software :P. you may have to buy upgrade cd for it if you u do first save all backups like data and pc drivers shift it to d drive and once u get the cd just re format it on c drive :P i hope windows 7 is better. tc

  • I have a HP desktop, I am in love with HP. Going to be purchasing this model laptop when windows 7 comes out. It will be my first laptop.

  • man, this laptop is great, im getting it soon but the only problem with this laptoo are the touch controls, cuz they are glitchy and that the wireless button keeps turninh on and off, hp should really fix that

  • im ordering mine n a couple of wks.. read thru sum reviews on the website after you go through the configuration part by yourself.. so you can see any tips that they have to offer and compare to your own wants and taste.. after reading them im going with the 320 GB hard drive instead of the 500. the 500 GB was an extra $50.. right.. but you can buy an external hard drive of 1 TB for like $100 now! so yea.. i might as well save my money.. most every1 switched either up to or down to the 320!! :D

  • man id love to play wow on this thing looks amazing :]

  • can you play GTA IV on hp hdx 16?

  • Yes

  • @ClassicNintendoTheme hurrhurhudurrr

  • @ClassicNintendoTheme

    Yes, you can.

    But you should lower the resolution so that the game will be smooth. :)

  • @ClassicNintendoTheme yes you can and even crysis 2 lol

  • Yeah I just bought one too, 8gb of DDR2 2.i8ghz processor - Hopefully it's powerful enough to last. Awaiting the arrival.

  • wree did u buy it

  • I ordered one yesterday, will get it next week. Hope its worth the money

  • It is pretty good i have one and i am using it right now but the problem with it is that it freezes up every now and then but overall its a pretty good pc.

  • i have this laptop it's great but the battery doesn't last long and it heats up too much and it goes too slow for everything that's just my laptop probably cuz i load it with crap! -.-

  • i have this laptop and i im on it now and it is amazing for gaming. it has the best video card out of all laptops out there.

  • Lol, you wish.

  • im not lying i actually have this laptop

  • Yeh, I too have this laptop. And I can't run shit. I think it is because of HP's bloatware that comes with the laptop.

  • Hp Best computer for the Price 100% i recommended this PC. Me IT Tech. Apple too expensive.

  • yea man i always wanted a mac but when you compare to pc man they are so much and you can buy a good pc for half the price of a mac

  • has anyone tried windows 7 beta on this laptop??

  • Im going to be putting windows 7 when it comes on in october, so il let you know then.

  • They discontiuned the 16inch ones here in Canada. The new HDX16 Titanium ones are coming out soon. Hopefully they come out before school starts in September. I need one for University *Fingers crossed*

  • do u have more info on teh hdx 16 titanium one??

  • not much. all i no is that, you can get on in the usa and online. costomize it as well. i dont know when their gonna introduce it in canada. so i couldnt wait and bought the premium series instead. and hp in the canada is offering windows 7 to any person who bought a computer/laptop after June 26 that has Windows Vista Home Premium or greater installed on it for free. I got mine on June 27. Lucky Me. If you need to know anything more about the laptop. mssg me. P.S Great Laptop Thou.

  • same

  • Thanks a lot boy! Although I had already watched this on the HP website.

    I'm getting this for my birthday (07/21) and I really, REALLY hope that HP have pulled out the Windows upgrade program so that I can upgrade to Windows 7 with no extra cost.

  • Comment removed

  • The price is 900$ atm till Wednesday June 9th so if you want it get it right away. It will be 950$ after that.

  • Por Favor Luchar aki conmigo:

    retebiento1.elbruto. es

    sin espacio

    Premium acc.

  • how much does this cost?

  • Does anyone know if that little Remote Control they pull out of the laptop -is included with the HP 18 HDXt ? It is not mentioned on the HP website. Is it NOT included with the newer models of the 18 HDX?

  • im not sure, but i think it is included.

  • actually it is included

  • how much is the prise ?? where can i find this one

  • hey im trying to get this laptop but can some body help, im trying to decide if i should get vista home, or ultimate, and the diffrence between a 32-bit and 64-bitand the other is if i should get 6gb of ram or 8gb, like whats the difference

  • hey folks let me ask you a question...i've had a laptop with a similar screen...like 16:9 type of thing but it broke...now im using a pc with an old monitor thats 4:3...more like a square..is there any way to make this screen look like my old laptop...not phisicaly of course..i mean is there a program that could stretch the image?or does it depend on the graphic card or the monitor itself?any tips suggestions?i'd really apreciate any feedback...peace

  • On my PS3 when Im changing from my HD tv to my analog it gives me the option of either 16:9 or 4:3. I don't know what it could be, im guessing internally with the computer.

  • just change the resolution settings for more widescreen like settings it might not work because the monitor might stretch the changed resolution so it is still 4:3 it might work though give it a try

  • i loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­e

  • duz anyone know why the remote doesnt work lol something to do with 64 bit vista i think...

  • can i play CRYSIS or a game similar to this one on this laptop!

  • yea this laptop is better graphically then the dv7 and there are videos on here of someone playing crysis on that computer reasonably well

  • do you know the exact graphics card in it

  • nVidia 9600M GT

  • thx

  • I just returned mine after 2 weeks

  • why did you return?

  • I just ordered one that is the best that is can be

  • Thats one powerful laptop!!!

  • It's like a slighty bigger version of my laptop, only with HD. I looked at it, for the price a bit much, the specs are nice, but my HP DV5T has equivilent specs and only cost me $800. My visions kind of bad so I don't really care for HD.

  • my grandma bough this for me and came on sunday and i dont know how to work it! i turned it on and it does a sound beeps and the screen is black!

  • Did you charge the battery before turning it on?

  • oo so cool, i checked the hp website and 4 this laptop, they now hava the backlit keyboard, cool

  • From what I have seen the battery life with a 6 cell is only about an hour and a half... should I go with the 12? I just don't like how big the 12 cell is on the laptop.

  • if you plan to use it away from an outlet then get a 12, I just use my laptop as a portable desktop and keep it pluged in.

  • they are offering 8 cell now do not worry

  • god that laptop is super amazing, i just saw it at the store, its so cool and fast, god i love it, cant wait till i get it, though that wll be until next year, unless they release windows 7 earlier

  • @eemv926 oh god alienware is super amazing. i have one and it is so cool and fast.

  • i got the pc version

  • I have this computer and it came with the remote like in this video. But it didn't come in the slot in the computer. Something else did.... Something that's the same shape of the remote but it doesn't look like it's used for anything. I tried to fit the remote in the slot.... BAD MISTAKE. It almost got stuck! What am I missing here?

  • the thing that comes in the remote slot is just a demo strip, you can throw it away it has no value. As for the remote, insert the remote all the way in till you hear a click, its usually locked in place by a push mechanism so dont worry, it wont be stuck

  • It got stuck like, halfway through. I don't know. I guess I'll try again.. That is when I find the damn remote.

  • i have this one ;)

  • nice!!! enjoy

  • hey since this laptop has the infinity screen, does it still have michrophones, if so, where?

  • yes is has besides tha web cam

  • how much?

  • This is a real Notebook PC, top quality.

  • yup you got it right

  • i got this for christmas. it's awesome! i recommend it for anyone who's looking for a laptop.

  • Good for you nice!!! enjoy

  • i have this laptop and it rocks the only missing like darksidehero said is a backlit keyboard

  • yup its missing

  • the only thing missing is a backlit keyboard.

  • yeah youre right

  • it already has a backlit keyboard, if u look at the hp website you can get it with the backlit keyboard, ive seen it and it looks great

  • This was not an option when I had mine built. =(

  • My sister has that pc ...

  • god i cant wait till i get it, im already saving 4 it, though i wish they like put a standard modem for dial-up cuz i have dial up and i have to get a router so it works

  • try to have a broad band connection a DSL line its faster than dial up

  • i know but sometimes i go to places and some of my relatives have dial up, so how am i supposed to get to the internet?

  • try using wireless broadband HSDPA , i think its available on verizon or at&t

  • i wish they did it without that glass on the screen! it is safer for screen but harder on eyes?!

    more, toshiba has better screens, though it's "more for less" with hp...

  • hp videos always captivate me o.o

  • Alright.. what does it cost? ^-^

  • I think most people posting on here own this laptop. Myself included.

  • This laptop is Great! i dual-boot Vista and Windows 7 Beta (build 7000) both 64-bit super fast! And get 25-35 fps on Crysis very high settings with DX10!

  • You must be running it at the lowest resolution.

  • OMG=??!??!?! High SETIngs in crysis 25-35!! holy moly... OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG. I REALLY AM looking forward to get this laptop very very soon.

  • they have new laptops now, they got a dv6t

  • lol easy!

  • i got this computer,and i can run Crysis maxed graphics very smoothly.....its very awesome....and theres an integrated webcam on it! lol

  • Yeah but at what resolution?

  • 1024x768 i think,try one of your choice,and choose the one wich fits with your comp.

  • im counting on it

  • ive got this candy and completely love it!!!!!!

  • like the Acer's 8920G

  • I got the HDX16 and its amazing. the only thing that buggs me is the volume touch control, it sometimes get stuck or unaccurate. But on the whole I suggest this laptop to everyone. I played Assassin's Creed at high setting but with AA off and I see about 30fps. WoW at full graphics at 30-25 fps at Dalaran, COD4 everything full, AA x2 I see 60-30 fps. Sound Quality is amazing and The screen Detail is exellant. I might upgreat the GPU to a 9800gt in the future, but so far so good.

  • It has an nVidia GeForce 9600M GT, right?

  • Yep. its a very good GPU, I dont play on full graphics though because of its high resolution screen.

  • the only thing that bugs me is that when it comes to playing, the arrow keys r so small u mess up

  • i have this laptop. it is great

  • thanks

  • i got a problem i got this laptop and my source of enery now is failure

    can someone help what i can do do i need to change it and how much it cost please :S:S i want my notebook fix befores christmas thank and i hope someone answer me

  • I would buy a new battery

  • did you check my vid :)??

  • do you know the remote control for hdx 16 is dedicated or must ordered? if its must ordered how much is it???

  • i bought mm 600 dollars yeha and it comes with the remote XD is really cool :) something new :)

  • It is dedicated and 20$ if you want another

  • I have the dv7-1080ed. This is probably better choice

  • damn it, i give up, the hdx 18t is toooooo biggg, can someone tell me which ones the best,the dv5, dv7 or the hdx16t??

  • wats da name of the background song?

  • which one is better the dv7t or the hdx 16t? the dv7 has more better ram and more hard drive but it is older. the hdx is a bit slower but its full hd. ??? :/

  • Na the HDX16 and HDX18 are the new babies of HP, DV7 has less resolution then the HDX16 and HDX18, the HDX 18 comes also with 500GB HDD, but the HDX16 comes only with 320Gb HDD since there is not enough space to place a 500Gb HDD. The sound is better on the HDX series and better battery life. The HDX hardware is compatable with Vista 64Bit where as DV7 supports 32bit. Both have DDR 3 GPU and the HDX come with a standard min 2.42Ghz processor, DV7 has a standard min of 2Ghz such as T5800.

  • which one is better the hdx 16t or the dv7t?

  • i love hp, its the only kind i have ever liked, i hated sony, they break easily

  • they should have made a different one for the 18.4 inch cuz it has the microphone/speaker plug things to the side and its bigger

  • awesome that's what you have right?

  • Dell > Hp

  • the only thing dat i dont like about dis computer is dat it has the sd-ms card thing int the front, and the microphone/speaker button is to the side, on the 18.4 inch laptop

  • I'm just surprised a person that says made up words like "dis" and "dat" knows how to use a computer.

  • i use those words n i bet i no more bout comps then u do ... wat a stupid thing 2 say .. -_-

  • I bet I couldn't possibly care less if you know more about computers than I do. That is an even more stupid thing to say, you have no idea if you know more than I do. How is it you are aware of my computer knowledge? You must have special powers huh? By the way, genius, you "know" more not "no." Ebonics are for idiots who do not know any better.

  • retard i put "no" there as u said to the perivous person if he/she put "I'm just surprised a person that says made up words like "dis" and "dat" knows how to use a computer"..... "no" was used just like "dat" and "diz" was now think twice before replying

  • LOl what a little retard. Do you have nothing better to do than show the world how immature you are? "I know more about "comps" than you do" Go away kid, you are making an ass out of yourself.

  • wtf r u talkin about u lil fuk u can go fuk urself im in uni doing a major in med plus i've also taken a yr of comp engineerin so how bout u stfu n stop postin ur lil useless comments some of us have a life so go n play wid ur lil friends if u have any ... P.S dun leave no more comments as they are already are useless and have no views or points wat so ever....

  • You are one stupid little bitch, that is for certain. You only know the extent of your education, you have no idea about others. If you have such a wonderful life why are you arguing on youtube?

  • lmfao dude have u ever recall thinkin of how ppl think after u say dat sum1 talks/writes like "dat" "diz" anywho lets drop thiz w.e

  • I honestly can't understand you, your grammar is just as bad as your spelling. Exams lol, you can't even spell exams, I bet you will do really well on your "examz." i giz u wilz duzx oks on demz ur tetz, uart rit ur purityz smatz iz canz tillz. i diz wiz iz wuz soz smatz.

  • i have a 3.5 out of 4 at uni it's around 90% so i wouldn't be talking if i were you. i write like that because it is much quicker and less time consuming therefor due to my studies i have zero time to waste now if you do not undertand after my little speech maybe you should consider going back to school....

  • Only a fool would boast about their credentials on youtube. You can make up anything you want online, not that what you say is even impressive but still. For all you know the person you are talking to has an even more extensive education.

  • dude i dun care go away let me study for my examz ur seriously gettin annoying... i don't care about ur education nor do i care about any others i care about my own so stop msgin me and go do something more productive..
