The HP Pavilion laptop DV7-1150us is a great entertainment laptop. And I am saying this because the whole dv7 series is known for their beautiful display, great design and built in quality and the Blu-ray optical drive. Along with the Blu-ray drive comes the HDMI port which is one of the best things you can combine in order to watch high definition DVD movies on an external monitor.



The 17 inch display of the HP Pavilion laptop DV7-1150us is a real beauty which should be found on every true multimedia laptop. HP has used the widescreen BrightView Infinity technology. This means that the display is glossy making the colors sharper and more vibrating which contributes to a overall improved image quality. The screen has a native resolution of 1440 x 900 pixels which is more than enough considering the size of the display.



The 2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T5800 processor is combined with 4 GB of DDR2 RAM which means there is enough speed and also enough power to run multiple applications at the same time. The 320 GB capacity of the hard disk should be enough storage space for you to store your favorite music, movies and other useful files. The graphics card does not live up to the power that the rest of components have.

The video card on this laptop is the integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500 MHD which can use a maximum of 1759 MB of shared video memory. The dual-layer DVD Burner uses the LightScribe technology so you can personalize your DVD’s by creating your very own labels. If you want to customize your laptop on the HP official website, there is a Blue-Ray optical drive available for the Pavilion dv7 series. It would be a real shame if people did not choose this optical drive which allows you to watch HD movies and really take advantage of the 17 inch display.

Above the keyboard you can find the Altec Lansing speakers which represent HP’s favorite choice when it comes to choosing the sound provider for the Pavilion line. The speakers are far better than the regular speakers that you find on a 15.4 inch laptop. However, nothing can really compare to a good set of external speakers as the quality of the sound is taken one step further. It feels very pleasant to use the dv7 keyboard and your fingers seem to take a natural course when you are typing.



In fact, the keys are so pleasant to touch that you sometimes feel like the fingers are typing by themselves. Above the keyboard you will also find a set of touch sensitive multimedia control buttons which are backed up by blue lights. Most people are extremely happy with the QuickPLay button which gives you instant access to movie applications, music and even photos. Even if this laptop is cheap people are always looking for different methods to save some money. If you feel that you really want to own the HP Pavilion laptop DV7-1150us but you don’t want to pay the entire price of a new unit, you can choose a refurbished model for as low as $529.
