• Processor: The 2.2 GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-64 processor offers a dual-core architecture, which delivers additional computing resources to help expand your PC's capabilities by providing higher throughput and simultaneous computing--increasing your performance by up to 80 percent. You'll be able to perform multiple tasks such as digital rendering and gaming all while running virus scan or other background tasks seamlessly thanks to the innovative Direct Connect Architecture. And it's designed to handle simultaneous 32- and 64-bit computing with no degradation in performance. You'll enjoy long battery life thanks to the AMD PowerNow! power management technology, which delivers performance on demand and can extend system battery life up to 65 percent. And the AMD Digital Media XPress technology delivers stellar multimedia performance and playback on digital entertainment such as games, streaming video and audio, DVDs, and music.
  Each processing core has a 512 KB L2 cache (for a 1 MB total), and this processor can deliver up to a 1600 MHz system bus for lightning quick computing reflexes. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)
  
• Hard Drive: This system offers a total of 240 GB of hard disk drive space from two 120 GB drives (5400 RPM). These Serial ATA (SATA) hard drives also quicken the pace with a higher speed transfer of data--akin to FireWire and USB 2.0.

Your software, PC and discs work together for a no-hassle way to burn just the labels you want.

  Rating: - Good value and rock solid now, would buy another
  Purchased in December 2007. Loved the bells and whistles of this laptop and the display.
  
  The good news.......
  In April HP support released a slew of software updates for this computer including a bios update. MS service pack 1 was also included.
  After 6 hours of installing the updates the laptop runs flawless, faster and rock solid and great wireless range. I love it now. Awesome for DVD playback and spread sheets. It is now my primary computer.

  Rating: - Nice hardware, but HP support and options suck
  I bought this laptop as a nice priced option only to discover, that the mighty monopolistic HP corporate approach would kill it for me.
  
  This is a true 64-bit multi-core computer and yet HP is crippling it by installing the stupid 32-bit Vista Premium by default.
  
  I tried to talk to an HP CSR 3-4 time to ask them for video drivers for XP 64-bit version I have a legal copy with license for a PC/Laptop. It was always a dead end call. At the end I escalated to the management, ... Read More

  Rating: - Good laptop overall
  I got my HP dv9420us back in September 2007, and so far I have been completely satisfied in most respects. The processor (TL-64) is nice and fast, and multi-tasking has not been a problem. Also, the screen is nice and big, and watching movies on it is enjoyable. The only thing I don't really like is the GeForce Go 6150, it's a pretty average video card, although it has been able to handle most games I've tried on it (the most recent game I've played on it in Sins of a Solar Empire, which runs just ...

  Rating: - Good hardware......bad OS
  The good:
  -Display. Screen is bright, clear. No dead pixels.
  -Keyboard. Solid feel (compared to other laptops), full num pad.
  -Lightscribe DVD. Used it several times. a little slow, but it works.

  -WiFi and bluetooth built in.
  -2GB RAM.
  -Dual SATA HDD.
  -Dual head video. Nice for presentations.

  Rating: - Nice keyboard, bright screen, memory hog, annoying screen freezes
  I love the keyboard size and the fact that it has a numeric keyboard already built in. The mouse is a bit "sticky" so I use a USB mouse. The screen is bright and clear, very easy to read and not hard on the eyes after long sessions. It is too heavy to tote around everywhere but that is not what I do with mine. I don't like the fingerprint magnet black finish although it does look nice when it's polished up. The only real problem I have with it is its constant freezes. I increased the memory from 1gig ...
