Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Product Description
Access your digital audio library wherever you roam with the HP Pavilion dv1610us notebook PC, which weighs just over 5 pounds and comes with 60 GB of storage space. It features a widescreen, BrightView 14-inch display, which provides improved viewing in direct sunlight, and dedicated external media and menu control allow you to navigate your video and music files quickly and easily. Control playback settings from up to 10 feet away with the included HP remote, then store it conveniently in the PC card slot. You'll keep the party going thanks to the battery-friendly 1.6 GHz Intel Celeron M 380 processor. This notebook also features 512 MB of installed memory (2 GB maximum), built-in 54g wireless connectivity with 125 HSM/Speedbooster support, multi-format/dual-layer DVD drive (which can also burn CDs), and Windows XP Home Edition (SP2).

The Basics

Hard Drive: The 60 GB hard drive (4200 RPM) is the average size for notebook PCs, providing enough capacity for storing documents, a good range of software, and a mid-sized digital media library.

Processor: The Intel Celeron M Processor 380 is designed specifically for mobile computing, offering a balanced level of mobile-optimized processor technology, good mobile performance, and exceptional value. The 1.6 GHz speed resides at the very top of the spectrum for this processor (as of October 2005). It also features a 400 MHz front-side bus (FSB) and large 1 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance.)

Memory: The 512 MB of built-in memory (2 x 256 MB, PC4200, DDR2 SDRAM) is a decent start for power users, and it offers a very fast 533 MHz speed. But you'll want to take advantage of the 2 GB capacity for working with today's demanding business productivity applications.

CD/DVD Drive: Offering the latest in DVD writing technology, the dv1610's multiformat DVD/CD drive is compatible with writing both DVD+ and DVD- disc formats as well as dual-layer (DL) DVD+/-R discs, which can store up to 8.5 GB of data. It features 4x DVD-R DL Write Once, 2.4x DVD+R DL Write Once, 8x DVD+R, 4x DVD+RW, 8x DVD-R, 4x DVD-RW, 16x DVD-ROM, 40x CD-R, 24x CD-RW, and 40x CD-ROM speeds. It also comes with a second DVD-ROM optical drive, with 16x read speed. It also comes with an extra DVD-ROM drive for disc playback only.

Keyboard & Mouse: This notebook has a 101-key keyboard and a touchpad with on/off button and dedicated vertical/horizontal Scroll Up/Down pad. It also includes two quick-launch buttons (HP QuickPlay Music and DVD).

Screen, Graphics and Sound
While this notebook is actually as wide as standard 15-inch displays, the high-definition, widescreen 14-inch display (1280 x 768-pixel resolution) has the same form factor as a 12-inch screen--taking up less space on your desk. Video is powered by the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900, which uses Intel Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) and provides up to 128 MB of shared video memory. The integrated audio card (Realtek ALC250) provides 16-bit stereo sound via the built-in stereo Altec Lansing speakers.

Connectivity and Expansion Slots
The dv1610us has an integrated 54g wireless LAN that's fully compatible with 802.11b/g wireless networks. The 125 HSM/SpeedBooster support will enable it to be ready for tomorrow's 125 Mbps wireless LANs. You get a very good offering of connectivity options, which includes both super-fast USB 2.0 and FireWire:

3 USB 2.0 ports for connecting a wide range of peripherals--from digital cameras to MP3 players

1 FireWire (also known as IEEE 1394 or i.Link) port for connecting digital video camcorders and other peripherals
