Hewlett-Packard updates its range of laptops versatile Pavilion dv8 format 18.4-inch multimedia-oriented with a new model in less than 1400 euros, the Pavilion dv8-1190ef in Calpella platform with Intel Core i7 and Blu-Ray.

The HP Pavilion dv8-1190ef is equipped with an Intel chipset HM55, a Core i7-720QM (1.6 GHz, 6MB cache), 4GB DDR3 1333 MHz RAM (8GB max), of 2 SATA drives of 500 GB at 7200 rpm, a graphic card Geforce GT 230M 1GB Dedicated 2.8 GB TurboCache, screen 18.4”WUXGA LED Ultra BrightView Infinity Full HD resolution of 1920 by 1080 , a webcam with microphone, Blu-Ray/graveur DVD combo drive, a card reader 5 in 1, a keypad, a 2.1 audio system Altec Lansing with Dolby Home Theater and Port Wi-Fi a / g / n, Bluetooth, HDMI, VGA, Firewire, ExpressCard54, Infrared, Headphones (x2) Microphone, Gigabit Ethernet and USB 2.0 (x4 combo with 1 e-SATA).

Guaranteed 1 year, it runs under Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit with a Li-ion 4 cells, Weighs 4.06 kg and measuring 436 x 286 x 33.7-43.7 mm.

The design does not evolve and thus found a dark Espresso finish decorated with clear reasons curves on the hull and the wrist rests giving it an original look while remaining sober. The connector is positioned on the sides, in large part on the left. The touchpad on the eccentric left has a scroll zone and two buttons separated from each other not to mention a hold button.

Available for less than 1400 euros here at Fnac or here at Rue du Commerce, the HP Pavilion dv8-1190ef is positioned in the middle of its class.

This is a multimedia-oriented model with its Blu-Ray to enjoy media on the High Definition Full HD 16:9 screens, its audio system with subwoofer to immerse you in the atmosphere and that its space of storage of 1000 GB with two hard drives fast.

The Core i7 is also well suited to this type of use, it is much more efficient than the Quad Core generation. At ease in all situations or near it unveils its full potential in applications taking advantage of multi-heart as in the last drafts of Adobe Photoshop (photo) and Premiere (video).

The RAM is fully supported by the 64-bit system and the connection is provided.
We regret that the battery does not show a greater capacity, 4 cells are really just a PC of this type.

As for the dedicated graphics card, it will play tracks not too resource intensive 3D. Lower levels of detail and / or resolution will be needed in some games. In this regard, we may regret that HP has not resolved to integrate a graphics card belonging to the new 300 series Geforce or Radeon Mobility HD5000.
