Entertainment fans get ready for the release of the HP Pavilion dv5 entertainment notebook. This is without doubt a device that is going to impress and will attract a lot of attention.

Machine Spec:

- 15.4” WXGA display (max. 1280 x 800)
- Intel Core 2 Duo P7350 (2GHz)
- 4GB DDR2 memory
- Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT (512MB DDR2 VRAM)
- 320GB Hard Drive (5400 U/min)
- Integrated Webcam

Firstly, the design is rather stunning. It´s mucho modern, stylish and has a super sleek finish. A lot of thought has clearly gone into the design. All of the corners have been rounded off which gives it a very soft and pleasant look. The working area and the keyboard have been finished in a liquid silver colour with a mesh imprint on the plam rest area. The lid has been coated in a glossy black lacquer with the same imprint. Connecting the chassis to the display is a large and sophisticated hinge.


The two colours that have been used, silver and black, are glossy but not to the point that you could use as a replacement mirror. The working area is much duller than the lid and has a “liquid-metallic” finish with the HP Imprint. The imprint is a very subtle yet effective mesh pattern that can be seen clearly in bright light


The structure of the dv5 is impeccable and there is no part of it that could be considered weak or flimsy. Michael Flatley could perform his Lord of The Dance routine on the palm rest area and I doubt it would cause a dent. Lifting it by one corner causes no flex, even when giving it a good old shake. The materials used for the dv5 are quite simply fantastic.

The display could marginally do with some strengthening but it is be no means fragile. Pressing the back of the lid causes very slight ripples on the display for example but the flex in total for this display is average.

The surface coating of the entire notebook is exceptionally durable. Trying quite hard to inflict a scratch or two proved fruitless. This is great news should you want to do some travelling with your impressive new purchase.

Aktuelle Note: befriedigend  Erklärung

Was ist eine Aktuelle Note?
Notebookjournal errechnet jede Nacht eine Aktuelle Note. Das ist die Note nach den derzeit gültigen Maßstäben. Sie zeigt an, ob sich ein älteres Modell noch wacker hält oder ob es bereits eine Vielzahl besserer Notebooks gibt. Letzteres ist der Fall, wenn die Aktuelle Note niedriger als die ursprüngliche Note ist.

Es geht um die Vergleichbarkeit
Mit der technischen Weiterentwicklung müssen sich Notebooks an immer höheren Maßstäben messen. Erreichten Gaming 17-Zöller Ende 2006 höchstens 5500-3DMarks06, so waren es Ende 2007 schon 9200! Ein sechs Monate altes Sehr-Gut kann also nicht mit einem Sehr-Gut von vor einer Woche verglichen werden.

Aus Gründen der Vergleichbarkeit haben wir uns auch im Vergleich (Link) für die Nutzung der aktuellen Note entschieden.
