  • ''Woah'' that looks more like a desktop and keyboard

  • That is huge

  • i love this lappy, ive had it for 2 years and still love it!!

  • I'm not trying to bash this thing but you could get a iMac for 1/5 of the price of this and since that laptop is hardly mobile why wouldn't ou invest ur money into a laptop that is actually portable or just buying a desktop

  • @baseballboy725 You *do* realize this video is over two years old, right? At the time this thing was the top of the line - but two years is a long time in the tech world. :-)

  • @ThoughtsMedia Yes two years is a long time in tech world. So again, why use this 'DRAGON' when a desktop at less than half the cost can be used as a substitute [even two years ago]. I still fail to recognize the rationale behind such an expensive expenditure. I wonder if that was the reason HP decided to retract/discontinue this product.

  • @basnetk If you want to bash a laptop from three years ago, go right ahead - I won't stop you. :-)

  • @baseballboy725 stupid ass if u dont like pc`s why the fuck u watch this

  • I bought a computer for 1 grand that has 4 times the specs as that

  • @DrGenNinTari You *do* realize this video is over two years old, right? At the time this thing was the top of the line - but two years is a long time in the tech world. :-)

  • @ThoughtsMedia good point :)

  • OMFG!!!  

  • The AC adapter is so large because it is 180W.

  • How much health points does that hp have?

  • What do you use that beast for?

  • that compute sucks

  • 8800m GS?? For $5000,, dont get me wrong,, good notebook,, but my god,,

  • Since most of the comments lately have been by YouTools, I'm going to close the comments down.

  • Lol, for 5000$ now, you can get wayyyy better for so much much less..

  • @Renzeko that was 2008 u sucker

  • @hippievogelei Uhh, Notice my comment is from over a year ago... Meaning I posted that comment a few months after this video was out.. Sucker.

  • @Renzeko so true i have this garbage

  • mac suxxxxxxxx

  • TIMMY!

  • love that laptop , but it's like a desktop replacement , cuz it's toooo heavy

  • It's not "like" a desktop replacement - it IS a desktop replacement. I thought the 20 inch monitor kind of gave it away... ;-)

    - Jason

  • good info here some more ebay bro 30 bucks get a wide angle lens for that camcorder

  • This video was shot over a year ago - I'm now using a Canon HF100 with a wide angle lens...but even with a wide angle lens, it's impossible to fit a laptop that big in a shot without having the camera moved way back. I looked at your video and the word "tripod" comes to mind. :-)

    - Jason

  • I love this video I think I will now start to go on to that website to see if I can win a laptop

  • See the word "Ended" in the title of the video? And see the sidebar that says "THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED." The contest is over, the laptop has been given away.

    - Jason

  • i want that so bad

  • Mines an HP Pavillion dv9000 but I don't think its a dragon. :P It has a webcam and a conroller, headphones, lots and lots of usb's and places to hook up external monitors. It has a huge battery adaptor and dvd player/ burner and I think bluray and blutooth but I don't think its a dragon. I got it in 2007. No its the HP pavillion Entertainment PC. I just got Vista on it so its even better. It came with 80Gb harddrive space and a 3.0 rating video card though its running aero.

  • Don't think that im trying to be nosie or anything but how do you find the money to buy all of these laptops and such???

  • This laptop was a giveaway unit, so I definitely did not buy it. Most of the stuff I review are loaner units from PR agencies. I'm going to do a video about what I do for a living actually, because people keep asking me the same questions over and over and over and over and over again and I'd really like to be able to stop answering them. ;-)

    - Jason

  • the "discontinued" thing really burst my bubble...... but im not acusing you of anything and sorry for my bad gramar

  • Well, this video is a year old - most laptops get refreshed every year, so I'm not sure why you thought it would still be available. I've noticed that most YouTube viewers don't look at the date on the video and they assume the video is still accurate...it's usually not. The good news is that the HDX 18 is a great laptop (watch my videos of it) and a lot less than $5000. ;-)

    - Jason

  • well the macbook air came out last year or so im not sure and it is still out. But whatever, im still going to try to but THIS laptop in the future because I find it to be very very amazing. :):):)

  • i got a macbook ;D

  • wtf why would you buy a 5k laptop?

  • ur face looks like the power brick

  • "just some pictures i took in japan." hahaha

  • What's so funny about that?

    - Jason

  • looks like a xbox 360 power brick! XD

  • i wud never buy a 5 grand HP ther only gud for cheap price and performance

  • how mutch does this laptop cost about? plese reply

  • This laptop has been discontinued - HP has a new series of 16 inch and 18 inch laptops out.

    - Jason

  • Is it totally discontinued like, you can't buy it at all?

  • That's correct. Maybe some online stores still have some models, but you can't get it from HP.

    - Jason

  • I don't really trust online stores because what you are buying might not work but thanks for the information. :)

  • you can get a hp dv7-1285dx 17'' laptop with 6g of mem and 500g hd for 1200 at best buy 3'' more screen 2 g less and the same hd space for like 2800 more???

  • Check the sidebar: this video was shot a year ago. Technology changes, especially the price of technology. Always check the date of a video before posting a comment...

    - Jason

  • rediculess

  • Wow, latops have come on so much, you can get all this for under $4000 now :D

  • omfg i missed the contest *SAD FACE* D:

  • wow that thing is a beast. im thinking that it either has a 10 minute battery, or that the battery is the size of a small nuclear plant.

  • the battery life is good I get up to 2hours

  • god damn... this is a big laptop.. way way WAY to big.. even for a high proformance laptop.. well not for me. if had to choose between a stationer and this big a laptop ide take the stationer..

  • Can this be the portable Crysis machine (that is not Alienware) that we have been dreaming of...?

    Or is the VPU not powerful enough...?

    Honestly, I wouldn't know... I'm not a huge nVidia fan and I don't know the model numbers too well...

  • i paid over 3gz for my HP HD9000 i think.. im not sure over a year ago

    its like $1500 now

  • wow! this thing will help me a lot if i could win this i will use this for my studies because i want my studies better!

  • The word ENDED in the title should have been a clue that the contest is over. :-)

    - Jason

  • That would be my desktop computer!

  • wow 20 inch that blew me away

  • Well, I saw this laptop like 10 months ago, still look stunning! I guess I can believe it was worth the price! I Like it very much!

  • 5000$...HAHA!

  • wow, that laptop is not worth the 5 grand...

  • You're right - this video is almost a year old, the laptop isn't being sold any more, and the new HDX X18 is less than half the price. Before commenting on a video, why not look at when it was shot?

    - Jason

  • No notebook hardware would ever actually be worth 5000 dollars anyways.

    ever...

  • true but asus sells a 3000 dollar laptop

  • which is worth.... always half as much....

    consumer market sux =(

    i hate my life!

  • So... Basically They Discontinued it... Like with My Laptop, The HP G60 119EM

  • omg dedicated number pad is so useful

  • my boss has 2 of these

  • it is unbelievabliy breath taking .was it shot on earth or in the heavens /

  • My alienware m15x is similiar specs, But 15.4inch and half the price :P

    My alienware does have a better Video card but the CPU isn't as good.

  • Obviously winning this laptop will be a big bonus for me. I will be able to enter a world of real gaming and game manufacturing which I am deprived of at the moment. Also, it will help me get rid of this huge idiot box which takes up a lot of space and is below average in performance.

  • nice video can i have it i want to win

  • The word "ENDED" in the title should tell you the contest is over. :-)

    - Jason

  • Macs are not worth it.

  • how much do the Hdx9200's retail for

  • The HDX9200 is no longer being sold. The HDX X-18 is the closest thing that HP sells - check out my unboxing and first impressions review of it on my channel.

    - Jason

  • I would never buy this laptop!! Come on guys how can you buy laptop which has 2.8 extreme processor and 5400 rpm hd, this is really sick??!! I would rather buy asus g50vt-a2 or g71vt which is twice cheaper and has way better specs!! Although this is only my opinion!! About mac i will say this, when mac will become as popular as windows you guys will end up saying that mac is crap!

  • Dude this computer is like 1 or 2 years old, of course there is much better things now, back then it was a monster.

  • Even knowing that it is 1 or 2 years old, still man!! Come on 5400 rpm hard drive for this computer is stupid!!! It is like having a bmw with tires from fiat or even russian lada!!))

  • As mikle108 points out, this computer is no longer being sold. I agree that 7200 RPM drives are the way to go, which is why you can get the HP HDX 18 (check out the video I just posted) with TWO 320 GB, 7200 RPM drives. So there ya go...

    - Jason

  • lol yeah right.

    I want to see the winner unboxing this

  • THoughtsMedia, Hey I want to get an hp laptop as well but I don't think it works godd with final cut pro. I am majoring in film production. They say that the mac works better. However I still wanna buy an hp because I just like the way it's made. Are they gonna come up with a diffrernt version of final cut pro designed for pc computers? I hope so.

  • Considering that Final Cut Pro is an Apple product, and that it only works with Macs, this isn't a good product for you. You need a Mac. Apple will not release Final Cut Pro for Windows, trust me.

    - Jason

  • apple make their computer for multimedia production

  • There's nothing about Macs that make them better from a hardware perspective for multimedia production. In fact, today I could build a Core i7 based system that would kick the ass of any Mac on the planet - Apple is always lagging behind in the CPU department. The software is the reason why some people prefer Macs for video/audio production.

    - Jason

  • ThoughtsMedia, AW GOD! That sucks that it's an apple product. Do you know any new hp products that work with an hp? I might get a Mac in the future but I still want an hp. Macs are way too expensive for me.

  • Do I know any new HP products that work with an HP? Your question makes no sense. Look, if you have to use Final Cut Pro, you need a Mac. If you want an HP computer, get Vegas Pro or another video editing suite.

    - Jason

  • ThoughtsMedia, What do you mean my question makes no sense. Look don't get sarcastic and nasty with me! All I did was ask you question. I am not a computer expert! It's not my fault I'm not an expert. I am just seeking info. THAT'S ALL!! You acted like I commited a crime by asking you! SORRY!!

  • Let's look at your question:

    "Do you know any new hp products that work with an hp?"

    What does that mean exactly? I don't understand what you're asking.

    - Jason

  • ThoughtsMedia, Thanks 4 commenting me back but I'll think I'll ask someone else! BYE!

  • ThoughtsMedia, Thanks 4 commenting me. I'll think I'll ask someone else! BYE!

  • ok first you can buy a 51 inch tv for 2000,

    xbox 360 for 399 the best,

    and still can buy a regular laptop for like a 1200

    and a bunch of games and still ur gonne have some extra money .come on 5000 for that crap something the you cant even carry out with you ,and you have to downgrade to xp wake up it is time to advance not to go back but its  my opinion

    thanks

  • The problem with this line was the MASSIVE size being sold at a VERY high price as a "notebook". This thing is an all-in-one moveable desktop at best.

  • with that money i can get me a real nice 17mac pro much better ,am sorry i get a 15mac pro and i never want to go back on windows thats my opinion of course

  • try to play NEW games on that Crap Pro. This thing is a SWEET gaming PC. It would be a BETTER PC with XP or Ubuntu, but - the user can resolve that on their own once they have the system.

  • not something for me.too big.

  • "its sooo big, but its sooo beautiful."..... thats what she said. hahah

  • aaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahaah!@!@@!@!­!@

  • thts stupid!!!! it looks ugly!! well...it kinda kol....idk.....

  • can you buy this?

  • Not any more - it's been replaced by the 16" and 18" versions from HP.

    - Jason

  • i dont realy reccmend it, its so biig that u cant put it in a bag,hold it or even use it like a notebook, duh get a desktop realy

  • that thing is a beast

  • Are there any laptops that are like 21" or 20" laptops besides this one

  • Not really - and the new HP laptops like this are smaller, 18 inch screen.

    - Jason

  • there was a dell 22 inch

  • Right, but Dell isn't selling that one any more from what I can see.

    - Jason

  • dam that laptop is ASOME nice i got to had it jason nice unboxing man but how much is it in the uk i want to get one

  • This laptop has been discontinued - the new version of it is the HP HDX 16t or 18t, with 16" and 18" screens respectively. I just received the 18t model a week ago so I'll be doing an unboxing/review of it in a few weeks...after CES 2009.

    - Jason

  • very very cool!

  • I no longer want any HP products. They all suck as far as I am concerned.

  • Really nice ive seen the review on CNET

    good computer to have in my room...

  • Did hp call that laptop the dragon no they didn't so you don't call it the dragon. And you also don't call it the dragon because I SAID!

  • Messages like yours are why I think YouTube should have an IQ test before accounts are allowed to post comments. The HP imprint finish on the HDX9200 is called the "dragon" finish. When HP was making this product, I believe it was code-named "The Dragon". When HP people talked to me about the product, they called it "The Dragon". The promotion giveaway was called "31 Days of the Dragon". So guess why I was calling it the Dragon?

    - Jason

  • Ok. That's nice.

  • man speak gorgeous hehe lol ... nice video full view

  • gateway fx haz all of that and its smaller

  • Ooooohh...

  • it would resurrect my life like I was reborned.....*drooles*

  • wow that's looks like desktop!

  • my teacher has this once he told me to move and it wayed aton

  • that more like a desktop lol

  • this is a desktop lol

  • it is a shame it is not more portable as i would consider getting it, it seems hp is taking a small intrest in design for once. great video :)

  • just mesed up my 2 week old HP :(

    stupid coffee :(

  • i love hp laptops there so fast and last a long time

  • i'd rather spend $5000 on an alienware laptop i mean hp laptops r pretty good but they shuoldn't be that overpriced

  • Well, this laptop is now discontinued, and the newer version, the HDX18, isn't $5000. :-)

    - Jason

  • will you guys be having another contest soon?

  • A contest like this one? Maybe...there's something in the works right now, but I can't share any details about it just yet. Watch Digital Home Thoughts for details.

    - Jason

  • thanks 4 the heads up ☺

  • my 17" macbook pro has the same res as that monster and it's only like 4 1/2 pounds

  • If you think it's just about resolution, you're kind of missing the point. And having 1920 x 1200 on a 17" screen requires AMAZING eyesight - not everyone can handle a display that small but so high resolution...

    - Jason

  • HP is fail

  • mine is a quadcore laptop. wi geforce gtx 280 wit it wit 4.0gHz n 8GB RAM

  • LOL you made a complete idiot out of yourself there

  • Laptop- means it needs to sit on your lap..

    Notebook - means it needs to be in size of a notebook..

    This hp mutated computer is just a desktop wanna be - but it is not as strong as a desktop though. if you paid $5000 for it , better jump down from a bridge,,

  • Those are your interpretations, and not fact. A portable computer this big is certainly not for everyone, but HP sold a lot of these so obviously there some sort of a market for it. No one is forcing you to buy one...

    - Jason

  • I can't buy cause I can't afford buying a desktop type computer which cannot be upgraded and much more expensive. Glad finally you understood the difference between "laptop" vs "portable computer". This is definitely not a laptop as you mentioned in video title..

  • i have this laptop already and this laptop is so heavy!

  • mine has 4 gb of ram and 200 gb of hard drive

  • I know I'm going to get some (-) but...

    Wow... My laptop has a 8800gts m in it, and tbh, there are the 8800gtx m :( so I got owned and his 2

    And having a 20" screen is noo good for a laptop, trust me, even on my 19" desktop, it hurts my eyes after a while and that thingy in the back to adjust the screen is so GAY and USELESS!

    Hoog storage though :P 500gb in dual is good :P

    And whats good about a laptop is to cary it, not use it like a desktop!

  • my dad has this notebook it rocks i have a hp pavilion 17 inch and macbook pro 17 inch i'm good for that but ya very high performace in thoese machines

  • I wish I won that...

  • omg I wish I could have it :'(

  • I got my HP Pavilion HDX 9494 nr..... AMAYZING

    I was going to buy the red laptop from Toshibam, 18" screen, but when I see the HP HDX..... and I dont regret at all....

    But their is no more avaible.... lol

    Fred

  • I love the design HP put into their desktops & notebooks...

  • another excellent unboxing Jason, not sure how I missed this when it was first posted... I've always been a huge fan of HP's computers, I'm sure this one would be no exception based on the specs. plus considering this thing has a screen bigger than my iMac's (still trying to get my head around a 20.1" laptop screen!), I can see what you mean by its not really being meant for portability. good stuff, though... I wonder what a laptop with these specs will cost by May '09? :)

  • Nope, it's product you can buy. :-) Although this model has now been eclipsed by newer versions...

    - Jason

  • i have one and its awesome. Its so hard to carry though!

  • If i won the dragon i would stop using my familys computer.I would just stay in my room or go elsewhere and play my games and listen to music.

  • WOW! Niuce machine! I would use it for everything! Gaming, Web design and yeah, I wouild get rid of all my big stuff and use this compact and awesome machine! I hope I win it! Is there still a comtest going on?

  • No, the contest ended months ago. I had hoped the word ENDED in the title of the video and the words "THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. THE WINNER IS EXILEDSOLDIER" would have been a pretty big hint. ;-)

    - Jason

  • I think laptops are going to start replacing desktops in most homes as they get more and more powerful and comparable to desktop PCs.

  • Correct - this year laptops are outselling desktops now for the first time...

    - Jason

  • Cool. This laptop owns that of my grandma. I want a new laptop. That's my great wish!

  • are u kidding me $5,000 for that laptop i mean it's a powerful Laptop with a ton of features but isn't that a bit over priced and seriously if u want a comp that powerful just get a Desktop for far cheaper with better specs...

  • Well, as I've pointed out earlier in the thread, the laptop with the same specs today is about $3700...but as of this week, there are two brand new HDX units: an 18" screen version and a 16" screen version. So this computer is now officially obsolete. ;-)

    - Jason

  • ah okay i see $3,700 isn't bad but $5000 was quite nuts lol

  • It's a powerful laptop and i think it should be one of the most popular desktop replacement laptop in the future.

  • Wow... I have the EXTREMELY tuned down version of this. Intel 965 Express gfx card, 1.4ghz and 2gb ram... Uber sadface.

  • Rofl Chops

  • Cool. But i rly dont need so powerful laptop like this, so i maybe gonna buy HP tx2500 :)

    Maybe u can make preview of that too? Or are there already made? Any goods like this I mean.

  • I was supposed to get a tx2500 from HP but it's been several months and nothing from them, so I'd say to look elsewhere for reviews of the tx2500 - sorry.

    - Jason

  • That's a pretty sweet laptop but a full throttle alienware laptop might beat it for performance.

  • thumbs up on the hp dragon
