HP Pavilion dv5t entertainment

The HP Pavilion dv5t includes the Intel Core 2 Duo processor and the new GMA X4500 integrated graphics, or one of the Nvidia’s dedicated GPUs. The laptop supports up to 4GB of DDR2 memory, up to 320GB of hard drive storage, and a DVD burner or Blu-Ray ROM. The 15.4″ display in this notebook has a resolution of 1280×800 or 1680×1050 pixels, depending on customer’s choice.

Regarding connectivity, the dv5 sports 802.11b/g wireless LAN support or the new Intel Wireless WiFi Link 5100AGN module supporting 802.11n draft standard. There are also an optional Bluetooth module, and an Ethernet LAN port. According to a specifications sheet, the dv5 does not have a built-in modem.

The HP dv5t features Altec Lansing stereo speakers, optional web camera and fingerprint reader, HDMI and VGA outputs, four USB ports (4th shared with eSATA port), an ExpressCard slot, 5-in-1 media card reader, and Infrared receiver.

HP says the dv5, 14.1″ dv4 and 17″ dv7 weigh 5.5 pounds, which is unusual since they have different dimensions and screen sizes. It may be a mistake.

The dv5t includes the newly designed high-glossy HP Imprint 2 Mesh finish with a grid-like pattern in onyx and chrome.

The laptop PC will be offered with Windows Vista 32-bit or 64-bit operating system and is expected to be available in July.
