  • LOL@ Cut down on the access roommm.. whatever

    that was funny.. i got what u were saying.. im excited i just bought this laptop today

  • which one is better

    hp G62-144dx or HP Pavilion dv7t select edition series

    do replyy plz !!!!

    as soon as possible

  • i got a dm3 but i almost never use the touch pad, i love the way it looks all cromed out - however any moister on your fingers makes it feels tacky when used and fingers tend to stick rather then slide across the surface providing a not so smooth interface... also it is a finger print magnet, honestly i clean it off every few days and just leave it locked instead using a wireless mouse at all times..

  • @matthias2986 moisture*

  • chill yall... he probably plays guitar since they are only long on one hand.

  • i have the pavilion dv7 4065dx. i cant fine a video on my labtop though

  • On the new 2010 version, DV7T SE a new advantage is:

    -those Headphone & Mic connections are at the SIDE of the lapp.

    See: if you hold the lapp in your chair, on this model in the video

    and connect earphones and mic set - they will be kicking you in

    your: TUMMY ! (applause for me here). (it hurts, and it's - inconvenient).

    So: don't bother with this one, and look for SE edition of Dv7t,

    which is called: HP Pavilion DV7t SE (on eBay - search like that)

    Cheers.

  • NOOOOOOO i thought this was the 1 with the new i3 i5 & i7 processors :(

    i ordered a Jacked up new 1. This is still pretty good for a computer 2 years ago tho.

    mines got:

    i7 quad core 1.6ghz-2.8ghz Turbo Boost/over clock

    6GB DDR3

    1600x900 display HD

    2 x 320gb 7200rpm hardrives

    ATI Radeon Mobility 5650 video/graphics card :D

  • One of the best laptops out for the money. Very similar to a dell studio at half the price.

  • good

  • Is it that good. Cause im planning on buying one.

  • Should I wait a 3 months so that I can afford this computer, because right now I cant afford it, or should I just buy a HP compaq presario Q61?

    That's what I can afford right now. The reason I want a new computer is because my computer that I use now crashes like 3-5 times per day. I dont want that to happen for 3 more months unless it's worth the wait.

    Please answer me back!!

  • @guitar0hero0zero, wait dude. Patience is a virtue! It seems like you want to get it because its cheap, not because you like it. But you obviously have the HP holding you back because you know you want to buy that instead. Wait until you have enough money.

  • Sweet video. thanks. If you have time clip your nails a bit. I work at a hospital and you can carry all kinds of fun under those monsters!

  • I agree. It's just bad form. This isn't a stupid comment. It's for real. It just looks bad.

  • you can use regular dvds as well correct? i saw the dvd symbol but wasnt 100%

  • @likeeattingglass ofcourse

  • well guys i need ur help , i just bought an hp dv6-1205ee , well it is a wonderful machine , it comes to a free upgrade to windows7 so what do u guys recommend to me a windows vista or to upgrade to win7

  • upgrade to 7. A lot faster, doesn't hog memory and CPU , great GUI , great networking , great a lot of things. I haven't found anything wrong with it since i switched :)

  • Well, I have the same laptop (minus the subwoofer and Blu-ray drive, and I upgraded to Windows 7), and now that I see they have a Blu-ray drive that goes perfectly with it, I'm going to try to upgrade!!

  • Hey Raiden72, can you put multiple discs in this laptop. Just wondering, some people say that itsays that but doesnt do it.

  • hey i heard this from a few people but i'm not sure what they were talking about. does this particular model of laptop able to put 2 internal hard drives. please answer. Thank You

  • yes.

  • and it goes 2 times a year to service cause somthing failes... never again HP

  • Your nails are long !!

  • Hey guys I'm gonna buy a laptop in feb and i can't choose wot to buy either

    1.HP DV8T

    2.ACER 8940G

    3.DELL XPS Studio 16

    I'm mainly gonna use dis for multimedia games movies and stuff. I prefer the aver because it has a higher graphics card the 250 GT nvidia over the HP's 220GT and I'm not sure of the Dells ATI performance plz help and comments tanks

  • You have to buy the HP DV8T ,

    but with windows 7 and not vista :p !!

  • Why don't you just get a base Alienware m17x? Little less than two grand, and would stomp those three when it comes to games and all that stuff you said you wanted. But out of those three, the best would be the Dell XPS

  • don`t buy a DELL XPS 16, the get too hot.

    I just bought a 500gig HP dv7t, and i love this machine! its pretty sleek and it does not get hot it runs nice and smooth

    I recommend it.

  • Should I get the Core i7 version or should I get the Core 2 Duo version?

  • im pretty sure this is the hdx16t

  • nope check again.

  • I'm sure you can afford a nail cutter?

  • lol

  • or shud I look into an ENVY series HP?

  • hey guys Im looking into buying a laptop. Im considering a dv7t,dv8t, or the HDX16t. Which one should I get? Ive heard a couple bad things about the dv series and I heard HDX is better but HDX is a little old now and only has DDR2 ram while the new dv's have DDR3 and quad core. Oh and do the new DV series have backlit keyboards?

  • dude its gonna feel like christmas when i fuckin finally get this in the mail

  • lol "so screw you HP"

  • is the amd athlon x2 2.1 ghz good as the intel core 2 duo t6500

  • no go for an intel if you dont want headache

  • the fugitive movie

  • cut ur nails

  • haha..I was just about to type a comment along the same lines!

  • HP Pavilion dv7-2000

  • whats the difference from a dv7 and a dv7t?

  • hey i have a question...the one im getting comes with "networking: Wireless-G Card" does that mean it has wifi in it so i dont need to plug someting in it all i do is set a router to my desktop and i get internet

  • -______________- yes thats what it means.

  • Is this as good as the HDX 16??

  • no my brother has the hdx its better

  • question. if u have a blue ray drive do u have to have blue ray dvds or can u have normal dvds?

  • You can use normal dvd`s. I have been watching plain non bluray dvd`s as well as playing regular dvd-rom`s with my bluray drive.

  • I GOT MY DV7 FOR $500 CASH NEW IN THE BOX.

  • I take it not custom built?

    Did you get bluray with it?

    Lots o reviews on here discouage people from getting bluray but I got it and I am very impressed with it. Especially since I have a $400 stereo system that has a USB pc to radio link to get the most out of the sound. But anyways hope you enjoy the DV7, I know I am with mine.

  • hdmi means you can use your laptop as a blu ray player for your tv :)

  • which store did you buy this staples bestbuy ebay walmart etc.,etc.,etc.

  • Comment removed

  • how much was this? I have been trying to build i nice laptop for no more than 800

  • If you mean me I could have got it for under $1000 but the tax got the thing bumped up.  Not to mention I included the notebook backpack which also raised the cost up and I ended up paying $1,100 basically. But for what I got though I am still happy with the setup I got. I was going to get the 2.13GHz processor for $150 more but said .13GHz more for $150 is a waste of money so I didnt get it. Same with the 1GB graphics card for $250 more, I wouldnt really notice it with 4GB ram.

  • may be a stupid question but is your name really Raiden ? If not good choice of screennames if not the best fuckin name in the wolrd, seriously I plan on naming my first born son this, lol.

  • Well, I went ahead and ordered mine. Ended up paying more than I thought since HP only allows the use of one coupon even though I was under the impression combineable ment I could use two or three other combineable coupons. But mine ended up being

    Vista 64bit

    Espresso Black

    2 Duo Processor T6400

    4GB ram

    320GB harddrive

    HD4530 Radeon

    Bluray

    Webcam + Fingerprint reader

    HP Notebook Backpack (20% discount with laptop)

  • I just got the new dv7t, expresso black

  • Yo I use this laptop for all my tutorials - this thing is a beast man, nice maching ... And sweet specs too! 8)

  • whats better the wide screen or the infinite screen? what is a infinite screen?

  • infinite screen is just the screen goes to the edge of the laptop there is no raised up frame around the edge of the scren like in the wide screen. Personally I didnt spend the extra money on it. Its just visual but doesnt give you any more viewing area.

  • i got mine... its got

    Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU

    T9800 @2.93GHz

    4GB of ram and a 32bit operating system.

    but it has windows vista :-(

  • what r the programs that come with it?

    

    email me

  • i GOT MINE TODAY!!! ITS CRAZYY!

  • im getting this its the 1215 tx 17 version.. my neighbour who is in IT is ordering it for me. hes with HP so if i have any problems ill just take it to him. Its gonna have pretty much everything i think.

  • hey Raiden, is this model you have in hands has the infinity bright view display? how that make the diffrence?

  • Where's part 2 of this video?

  • great reviews, very helpful. question though, i'm deciding between the dv7, the tx2z, and the sony vaio fw, i'll be an engineering student so i need a powerful computer but under 2,000 with capable graphics. i don't play any huge computer games as i have an x-box for that. so any thoughts?

  • i am totatlly bias to hp just because they are amzing with what they put in there tech. also yeah i do beleave it will have the power and the graphics memory etc for whatever you need

  • yeh it should. I wanted to get the asus g50 and my neighbour said this would be better. he told me today that its coming in soon and i should be excited so it must be going to be pretty damn sweet.

  • The screen reflect too much light...

  • not really... its bright so you wont notice it unless you are under direct sunlight,

  • what is the difference between the dv7 and the dv7t?

  • t edition is silver...

  • But in HP website it says that this laptop is espresso black, even in the PRODUCT DEMO shows the DV7T all in black. can you please confirm that because i'm willing to buy one soon.

  • i think it did come in black but i found they are bronze with a design. but still it looks very sexy

  • Are you sure cause I was looking at the DV7T and it comes in expresso black standard or if you want to pay extra you can get white.

    Besides that I am trying to deside between the DV7T and the HDX18T (comes in black only on HP`s website) but price is the final desiding factor for me.

  • not the dv7t just the dv7 ... the dv7-1001 and 2001 series are avail in Canada in silver and bronze..

    if i were u get the hdx18 but make sure its maxed out when u buy it : )

  • I would like to get the HDX18T (as what I customized on Hp`s website) but I am limited to $1,000 or less. I thought I could get it for $1499.99 with the $200 instant rebate then put in the discount code for $400 off on $1200 or higher customized laptops to knock the price down to $900 over all but I am not sure it says on their website some discounts void the instant rebates but doesnt say if this discount voids the rebate.

  • Thats not really gonna cut it.. Hp's site is overpriced. Check at your local best buy or futureshop they sell it way cheaper although u can't customize it... Or wait till boxing day ! : )

  • I was going to wait till end of May with the hopes that they would lower the price. What sold me on the HDX18T over the DV7T is he 1920x1080P display and the 2.53GHz processor and such. My only option is really to wait and see but I didnt really upgrade the HDX18T from the standard website configuration other than going with the 4GB ram upgrade from 2GB for free and the 64 Bit vista premium processor.

  • The DV7T I was looking at was just standrd mostly with minor upgrades like the 2 Duo T6400 2GHz processor 4GB ram, 320GB 5400 rpm harddrive 512 ATI Mobility HD 4530 graphics card, bluray dvd drive for a price of $1049.99 after the $150 instant rebate. It used to be $900 but they added almost $150 to the base price after I orignally configured it but I can upgrade the graphics card to the 1GB HD4650 raise the price to $1199.99 and get the $400 discount and get it for $800 if I am lucky.

  • first of all

    coupon codes are GREAT, googled one at the last second thinking "hrmm wonder if i can find one that works" got 30% off of $1,200+

    Core 2 Duo t6400 2.0ghz

    ATI HD Radeon 4650

    4gb RAM

    320gig hd

    infinity screen,vista home 64-bit,wireless N + bluetooth, recovery disk

    didnt get the blu ray or hd tuner wasnt a need for me or worth it.

    but all for~

    $966.48 tax and shipping included (what a bargain) once again, COUPON CODES ARE AWESOME

  • They are. Sad thing is I was mislead on it cause when I read combineable I was under the impression combineable with other coupons. HP`s website didnt say nothing about that. So I ended up getting a $1500 laptop for just under $1100. But I am not complaining though its been better than I expected, was told SHIV wouldnt play at full graphics settings with the standard card but I am playing at full with no lag and no issues what so ever. Just hope I can get that new Ghostbuster game to work.

  • Please tell me something about these codes!

  • Just search HP coupon codes in Google

    Remember,Google is your friend ;)

  • Yes got a customized HP DV7 that should have been $1100 for $750.

    Learn about cashback to get even more money back!

  • cool

  • Great review man you sold me on the laptop, literally. I just ordered one from HP with a $250 off coupon. I didn't get BluRay cause I have a PS3 but my dv7t is well equipped with the P8600 CPU all for $855 + Tax.

  • Can You Please Tell me the specifications you did customize to have this laptop for only $855?

  • how do you use your subwoofer?

  • its preenabled and works automatically. if u have it that is..

  • How well does this laptop take multitasking and games?

  • check my channel or search on youtube for videos of games runnin on this laptop. i have about 20 game vids..

  • One question is this a good laptop for gaming for like new games gta4,crysis etc. ?

  • yep got myn last novembar for my birthday and its going pretty good i can play gta4 on high

  • does this play mini games like feeding frenzy and diner dash full screen i mean like all the way till the end of your screen from hieght and width, just asking xD

  • hey does this have wi fi

  • im gonna get the Dv7

  • mine is a ge force 9600gt 500gb hdd hard drive 4gb of ram blu ray drive light scribe and a build in wireless n card :):):):):)

  • lucky bastard...i wanted the dv7t but it was out of stock everywhere...(at bestbuy)... i dont buy from manufactorers... but instead got a dv7-1285dx.... hehe... this blows the dv7t out of the water and into a minefield and into a pond of acid then on a pile of razor sharp jagged rocks.... lol..

  • i ordered mine 5 days ago, I can't wait anymore :)

  • What is the highest resolution of the screen?

  • 1680 x1050

  • does it come with the installer of microsoft vista?

  • yes but dude if ur asking that question and phrasing it so noobishly no offense but i doubt u should be getting one of these. get a cheaper laptop because u wont use this for what its capable of

  • dude do you think this labtop will last like 5 yrs

  • yes.

  • Thank you so much for posting this, I am soo gettin' this Notebook.. :)

  • Comment removed

  • I cant find pt.2!!!

  • nice video i have the same laptop and i love it..if i have any qustion i know ho to ask ..thank you..........adam from london

  • nice review... what is its video card specs??

  • 9600m 512mb

  • 512MB Nvidia 9600M GT card which is pretty darn good for a laptop! :D

  • cool review dude keep it up :)

    i'm getting my Pivilion soon

  • Still trying to decide if i should go with the dv7t, upgraded ofcourse, or the hdx 18t? Both have pro's and con's but both are great

  • go with the dv7t!! it's the best laptop for the price (i recently got min, and im dong vids on it)

    if you REALLY REALLY want that 18 inch screen, theni guess go for the hdx

    happy purchasing!!

  • wide trackpad....maybe:)))))) btw it's very small comparing the trackpad of the unibody  macbook

  • okay i got another question..

    can you pls. make an example for the webcam.. how its pictures are!

    would be very nice..

  • what's so special about this subwoofer-thing.. whatever?!

  • it's just ... better than average laptop speakers. I have the same laptop (with similar specs) and even when playing a blu-ray movie, it won't be AMAAZING quality, but the subwoofer certainly adds to the quality of the sound when going mobile...

  • much better sound i got a toshiba satalite p300 with a subwoofer and a harmon kardan speaker and there siccccc sound is fucking clean and i got a 3650hd 320gb hdd 2,0ghz processor and built ing camera and mikrophone and special design blue waves fingerprint reader bluetooth full zize keyboard and a 17inch screen

  • i think u sell this laptop already dude

  • I'll be selling it for $1200. I want to get rid of it to buy myself a car. I bought it for $2000. Any takers? Send me a message.

    It was top of the line when I first got it and it's still in perfect condition because I never used it I was too wrapped up in college work on my tablet pc.

  • $2000??? ^.~

  • hi bro...

    whats the specs of your hp dv7..??? jusT want to know bro....thanks and godspeed....im in thailand and i can not view your video....

    thanks

  • I just checked The HP Pavilion dv5t with 4g rams, 2dual core, and 320gb , for 700bucks on ebay

  • "It uses the new 45nm process, that cuts the heat and.... whatever".... LOL!.. Boy read some stuff before trying to get that techy...!

  • wow have u ever heard of nail clippers?? haha the review was ok though

  • anybody know if you can upgrade the processor of the DV7t pavillion laptops? or like the socket type? cuz i have a 2.0 ghz intel core 2 duo T5800. can i upgrade to centrino 2 duo?

  • what speed did u upgrade to and can the hdx16 be upgraded

  • core 2 duo is better than centrino

  • Centrino is the type of technology.

  • core 2 duo is better

  • i think centrino uses core 2 duo

  • no core 2 duo and centrino are not the same

  • Centrino uses the Core 2 technology bro.

    look it up if u dont belive me, i saw my uncles laptop, which is centrino and wen u go sys properties it shows Centrino (R) Core 2 Duo etc etc...

  • anybody know if you can upgrade the processor of the DV7t pavillion laptops? or like the socket type? cuz i have a 2.0 ghz intel core 2 duo T5800.

  • the battery life suks on cus i got the exact computer i love the subwoofer

  • if you like the subwoofers then check out toshiba satalite p300 harmon kardan speakers

  • Very nice PC;) I must also own that

  • Can you adjust the power of the enqine so the battery lasts lonqer ? nice computer by the way !

  • how long is the batery life?????

  • 2 hours ~

    check cnet.

  • hey how long is the batery life? tanks men

  • Is the keyboard getting hot when you play games?

  • Its Good for games ... ?

  • yes very

  • dewd wat games can u play in what resolution and how fast does it get hot when gaming? tnx in advance :D

  • Very nice and detailed review. Your "whatever" comments cracked me up. Thanks!

  • I'm feeling alot better now. HP is replacing my lemon dv9700t with this one. An upgrade in processor, graphics card, HD capacity, extra useful ports, etc. Just goes to show you that the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Now I just have to resist the urge to put some games on it. That's not why I need it.

    Full sized right side Shift key that the dv9700t didn't have is a plus.

  • Specs please. Including price. Thank you.

  • what are you thinking of buying my laptop? If not then you should go to HP's website and they'll have all the information you need.

    I am selling mine which I bought for $2100 at the top specifications for about $1600 right now if you're interested. If so then I will tell you all the specifications.

  • I was going to buy a new Oct 14th Macbook pro. But they bumped the price up... i think i'll just stick with a pc laptop. Sooooo much cheaper and you get heaps more stuff. Trade off - style/brand/osx for affordability/mostly better specs.

  • stick with windows ;)

    this bitch has style as well!

  • just got mine

  • Maybe this is a dumb question, but does the keyboard and surrounding panel made of real metal/aluminum??? Or just something looks like metal?

  • i actually dont know

  • They said titanium coating but the keyboard has a special coat that makes sure the keys don't smudge over time. So in other words its shiny, but its easier to clean.

  • hey man sorry bothering u again look u probably arledy sell ur hp dvyt but i got a problem with QLB(quick launch buttons) just tha wireles and volume thing works when i thouch them but the quickplay, mute, and play, pause, back and forwad doesnt work so im wondering if u know how to fix thme please i got this issue since almost when i got it but cuz u said i shoulnt send it back i didnt so please can u tell me how to fix thme? or anyone who read this?

  • ask hp to see if they'll fix it and try to form coherent sentences when you ask them...

  • As you cost?

  • I got the dv7 for $650. It does not have the finger print, the sub woofer or the remote. I still feel like I got good bang for the buck. My first beef with it is it will not let me enlarge YouTube video's.

  • Did the sub woofer come standard ?

  • did it come with a remote control for free ?

  • yes

  • k kool
