Editorial Review:

Amazon.com Product Descriptions:
Notebook processing power has increased dramatically in 2003, jumping from a 2 GHz ceiling to an astonishing 3.2 GHz and beyond. The HP Pavilion xt5335qv Notebook PC is sensibly positioned in the middle of this expenditure versus performance battleground, offering strong but not top-of-the-line speed at an affordable price point.

Measuring 12.96 by 10.7 by 1.8 inches and tipping the scales at 7.5 pounds, the Pavilion xt5335qv is of average size when compared to the current crop of notebooks and ultra-lightweight tablets. HP has chosen a fast 2.53 GHz Intel Pentium 4 CPU to drive the unit, and added a generous 512 MB DDR SDRAM memory (expandable to 1024 MB) to further hasten your computing and minimize hard disk access. 3-D graphics are displayed courtesy of a 64 MB ATI Mobility Radeon video chipset. In this configuration, the system will breeze through even the most demanding 2-D tasks, but may have some trouble delivering smooth frame rates to today’s most complex 3-D games and applications.

Sporting a sleek profile and a futuristic two-tone blue and metallic gray color scheme, the Pavilion xt5335qv looks distinctively futuristic. Underneath the hood, you’ll find such amenities as an oversized 15-inch active-matrix display screen (1024x768 maximum resolution), a pair of Altec Lansing-designed speakers, an 88-key keyboard with touch pad and a variety of convenient one-touch controls. For your data storage and handling requirements, HP has enclosed a large 60 GB hard disk, a handy 3.5-inch diskette drive, and a CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo drive through which you can archive files, watch DVD movies and burn and listen to audio CDs. In this stock configuration, DVD recording is not possible.

The Pavilion xt5335qv features a variety of connectivity options, including three high-speed USB 2.0 ports, a single IEEE 1394 FireWire port for fast interaction with devices such as digital camcorders, 10-/100-Mbps Ethernet wired LAN, and a low-speed 56K modem. Bundled software includes Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, Corel Productivity pack including WordPerfect 10 and Quattro Pro 10, and Intervideo’s WinDVD DVD player.

Rating: - Good System, but change your office software
This is a solid hardware system and most the software is fine. No complaints as far functionality and using CDs. No offense but not that many people use Word Perfect and Quattro Pro. So if you want a smooth transition of documents to other systems you will want Microsoft Office. Granted MS Office is overpriced for that convenience but still it is the most widely used. I realize HP is probably trying to keep their system cost down but sometimes a little additional cost is worth it. Since HP could buy MS software in quantity it would reduce the cost to the end user, us. I highly recommend HP give that some serious thought.
