14 DAY TRIAL // PC vendor manufacturer has just released its latest multimedia notebook offering, the Pavilion dv3000. The entertainment notebook PC has been presented as "The One" during HP's advertisement campaign and is pitched at multimedia enthusiasts that are always on the road.
The new dv3000 series of notebook PCs are also the smallest mobile offerings in HP's portfolio. Comprised in a 13.3-inch form factor, the dv3000 is a miniaturized version of Hewlett-Packard's previous 14.1-inch dv2000 model. The sexy notebook blends ultra-portability with powerful computing capabilities, convenient security and multimedia features under a single elegant black casing.
The HP Pavilion dv3000 Entertainment Notebook PC comes with the discrete Nvidia GeForce 8400M GS graphics chip that powers the 13.3-inch wide-screen display based on HP BrightView technology. The dv3000 sports a HDMI interface that allows enthusiasts to connect it to any high-definition LCD display equipped with an identical input.
Under the sleek hood, users will find a 2.5GHz T9300 Penryn Core 2 Duo, 2GB of system RAM, a dual-layer DVD burner, an 160 GB conventional hard-disk drive to meet your storage needs, and a less-encountered combo USB / eSATA port for the next generation of storage devices.
Other technical specifications include a built-in low-light VGA camera for videoconferencing or video chatting, as well as a fingerprint sensor and HP 3D Drive Guard, that represents the signature of a business-oriented notebook PC. Another interesting addition is the introduction of the ExpressCard mini remote control that allows users to easily access the notebook's multimedia features from a respectable distance.
Despite its diminutive outlook, the notebook is extremely user-friendly, and the full-sized keyboard lets users work comfortably and efficiently for long periods of time.
The notebook will start shipping in May and will come with an estimated retail price of $1,399.
