The Gateway NV7901u comes with a 2.26 GHz Intel Core i5 processor and a dedicated ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 graphics and offers a decent performance.
It has a bright 17.3-inch LED-backlit screen, with a 16:9 aspect ratio and 1,600×900 native resolution. The integrated speakers offer a better than average sound quality. There are the usual HDMI and USB ports on the laptop for extending the connectivity, though eSata and ExpressCard ports are absent. A 500GB hard disk and 4GB RAM along with great graphics offering a good performance making this is the laptop to go for.
See that up there? That’s the new HP dm4, and you better believe that this aluminum housed 14-inch laptop not only packs a Core i5 processor and plenty of sex appeal, but starts at $729. In a nutshell, that’s basically the whole story of the four new HP Pavilions — gone are the glossy lids and LED touch shortcuts, though remaining in tact are the affordable prices and mainstream power. The inch-thick dm4 happens to be our favorite of the bunch — it’s got a soft etched pattern along the lid, chiclet-style keyboard, on-board optical drive, and is available with different Core i5 CPU and ATI discrete graphics options. And if that 14-incher isn’t for you, there’s also the 14.5-inch dv5, which instead of the brushed aluminum lid, has a matte imprinted cover that’s available in black, red and champagne. Starting at $649, the dv5 is available with Core i3, i5 and AMD’s upcoming Turion II processors, and while it doesn’t have discrete graphics options, the Intel versions will support Intel’s WiDi technology.
