HP Pavilion dv7-3085dx is a laptop for a serious computer user featuring a 6GB RAM and 1.6GHz Core i7 processor.

These coupled with a speedy 500GB hard disk make the dv7-3085dx a big winner in the league, considering the price it is available for.  The HP Pavilion dv7-3085dx is one of the fastest-performing laptop in the higher range in terms of multitasking and handling applications like Photoshop. The only let down is the low end GeForce 230M GPU which is not so great. The glossy 16.9 ratio 17.3-inch LED screen offers a good view experience. Overall, the dv7-3085dx is a fast all round laptop for built for the power user.
