5 months ago I mentioned that I got a new customized HP Pavilion Entertainment Notebook – dv6500. Now my roommate got another HP Laptop as I recommended him to buy it.
It’s a customized HP Pavilion dv9700 Entertainment Notebook PC and its little bigger than what I have as its 17 inch. As I told before, I am a fan of HP and I love their sleek design!
Check out different imprint finish they have for laptops.
HP Imprint Artist

Other imprint finishes include Influx, Dragon, Radiance (this is what I have in my laptop), Echo, and Trace.

Very nice features and design. I want that HP Imprint Verve!
whoa! unbelievable. here goes one rupee to my saving to buy HP Imprint Verve soon
I’m also a fan of HP laptops, thats Y I too got one. its imprint finish is radiance.
I liked the imprint designs of these HP laptops…i wonder why these people don’t ship it without crappy vista.
i really hope someone notices this…i just purchased a dv9825 and wanted to hook up the hdmi to my home theater so that i can watch movies and such on my tv but when i hooked it up, the sound would only come through the laptop speakers. a pamphlet came with the computer stating that in order for hdmi sound to work, you need to change the s/pdif to something or other….my problem is that when i follow their directions for that, i don’t have the option available to me. have you or anyone else had that problem and found the solution?
thanks in advance.
Seems to be very good. It has got a massive storage and what is really important – a lot of gadgets (e.g. two remote controls, easy to use multi player panel, external antenna etc.) needed espacially for people watching tele or movies!!!!!!!!!
In computer hardware, hp has a remarkable position. I have many computer hardware’s, printer, laptops etc. But in my city there is only one HP service centre. The HP should increase its service centre all over world and also in the remote area.
Just bought this computer and I have to say it’s pretty awesome. Runs fast, the screen is bright and wide. I love it!
