Henry Lubong's Journal

After much thought, I pulled the trigger on the HP Pavilion dv9700t.

• Screen Size – I spend more time coding than actually playing games so screen real state is more important for me.
• Graphics Card – 8600M GS is fine for casual gaming and should be more than enough for Photoshop and video editing.
• Weight – 7.7lbs is bearable for lugging it around the house. I can take my smaller laptop for traveling.
• Design – I really fell in love with the beautiful imprint (radiance) finished on the dv9700t.

Here’s the summary of what I ordered:

- Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 1 (32-bit)
- Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Duo Processor T8300 (2.40GHz)
- 17.0″ diagonal WSXGA+ High-Definition HP BrightView Widescreen Display (1680 x 1050)
- 50% OFF Upgrade to 3GB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm)
- 512MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GS
- HP Imprint (Radiance) + Fingerprint Reader + Webcam + Microphone
- Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 4965AGN Network Connection and Bluetooth(TM)
- 240GB 7200RPM SATA Dual Hard Drive (120GB x 2)
- LightScribe SuperMulti 8X DVD+/-RW with Double Layer Support
- No TV Tuner w/remote control
- 8 Cell Lithium Ion Battery
- Microsoft(R) Works 9.0

Expected delivery is May 27.
