Amazon.com Product Description

Access your digital audio library wherever you roam with the HP Pavilion dv1440us notebook PC, which weighs just over 5 pounds and comes with 100 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 optional HP remote, then store it conveniently in the PC card slot. You'll keep the party going thanks to the battery-friendly 2.0 GHz Intel Pentium M 760 processor (Centrino). This notebook also features 1 GB of installed memory (2 GB maximum), built-in 54g wireless connectivity with 125 HSM/Speedbooster support, dual layer DVD+/-RW drive (which also burns CDs), multiformat memory card reader, and Bluetooth wireless capability (for connecting to compatible PDAs, cell phones, printers, and more).

The Basics
<ul>

Hard Drive: The 100 GB hard drive (4200 RPM) is above average in size, and is befitting of such an entertainment-centric laptop. You'll be able to store a hefty digital audio library.

Processor: The 2.0 GHz Pentium M 760 (Centrino) processor is near the top of the speed spectrum for this processor class (October 2005). It is well equipped for office productivity software tasks, from complex spreadsheets to databases. The Pentium M processor is designed specifically for low-power mobile usage, and it features the latest in power-saving technologies--ensuring you push your battery and productivity to the max. It also has a large 2 MB L2 cache--which will help speed up your system's performance--and a 533 MHz front-side bus (FSB).

Memory: The 1024 MB (1 GB, PC2700, 333 MHz, 2 x 512 MB) of installed RAM is a great start, providing enough power for today's demanding multimedia and business productivity software. For immersive gaming and video editing, you'll want to take advantage of the roomy 2 GB of total RAM capacity (2 x 1 GB).

CD/DVD Drive: Offering the latest in DVD writing technology, this multiformat DVD/CD drive is compatible with 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 16x DVD+R, 8x DVD-R, 4x DVD+/-RW, 2.4x DVD+R DL, 16x DVD-ROM, 40x CDR, 24x CD-RW, and 40x CD-ROM ROM speeds.

Keyboard & Mouse: This notebook has a 101-key keyboard and a touchpad with on/off button and dedicated vertical/horizontal Scroll Up/Down pad. </ul> 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 speakers.

Connectivity and Expansion Slots
The dv1440us has an integrated 54g wireless LAN that's fully compatible with 802.11b/g wireless networks.

Nice concept but fragile and HP support is terrible.......2006-03-06

If these machines would work consistently as promised they would be great. It's very fragile and best used as a small desk top.

Worse, if you have to deal with HP support, you will end up with a poor VOIP connection to India and may have support denied because HP tracks it's warranties based on when they sent the machine to the retailer, not when you bought it.

Even then HP support is, in a word, terrible.

Great Computer . . . While it lasted........2006-02-04

I finally bought this computer 4 months ago for college, after sampling and returning two different compaqs. Overall, I was very happy with it. I am not a gamer, but I had few problems with it. Occasionally the feature intended to run a DVD without turning on the hard drive (very handy) would freeze up, but other than that, wonderful! Good battery life, good graphics, nice screen, handy remote, pretty good speakers, nice keyboard, held up well when transported, and not too heavy. However, 4 months after purchase, it died. The monitor turned off in the middle of operation, and it would not turn back on for longer than 30 seconds. Still under factory warranty, I sent it in to Hp, but despite numerous phonecalls, no one even got back to me to give me a time estimate for its return for over two and a half weeks. Overall, I would recommend a more reliable brand of computer. (I had ZERO problems with my last laptop, a dell, in 3 years of heavy use.)

Great computer.......2006-01-24

I just purchased this computer and i really like it. The screen quality is excellent and the sound system is also above average for a laptop. I love the remote control feature for watching movies and dvd's. The only problem I have encountered in the week that I've had it is that sometimes it will freeze-up when I try to start a game or even when I start up the computer. I am really happy with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone.
