Product Description
Built for today's multimedia-savvy, always on-the-go
computer user, the HP Pavilion dv2890nr Artist Edition takes its
award-winning imprint designs to the next level with a unique artistic
rendering wrapped around the entire laptop. HP's Take Action/Make Art
contest received over 8,500 entries from aspiring young artists
worldwide, and this bold, colorful, innovative design stood out at
capturing the HP PC experience. You can also travel in style with the
coordinating Artist Edition messenger bag (sold separately).
Optimize your mobility with a BrightView 14.1-inch display that has the
same viewable area as a 15.4-inch screen--in a notebook that weighs a
pound less. Encouraging more direct interaction, the backlit media
control panel responds to the touch or sweep of a finger. Control
settings for audio and video playback from up to 10 feet away with the
included HP remote, then store it conveniently in the PC card slot.
Enjoy movies or music in seconds with the external DVD or music buttons
to launch HP QuickPlay (which bypasses the boot process).
It's powered by the 1.83 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T5550 processor, which
provides an optimized, multithreaded architecture for improved gaming
and multitasking performance, as well as excellent battery management.
It also includes Intel's 4965 AGN wireless LAN, which will connect to
draft 802.11n routers and offers compatibility with 802.11a/b/g
networks as well. It also features a 250 GB hard drive, 3 GB of
installed RAM (4 GB maximum), LighScribe dual-layer DVD±R
burner, HDMI port for connecting to an HDTV, and Nvidia GeForce Go
8400M GS video/graphics card with up to 1407 MB of total allocated
video memory (128 MB dedicated). It also includes an integrated Webcam
in the LCD's bezel and an omnidirectional microphone for easy video
chats.
It comes preinstalled with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium
(Service Pack 1), which includes all of the Windows Media Center
capabilities for turning your PC into an all-in-one home entertainment
center. In addition to easily playing your DVD movies and managing your
digital audio library, you'll be able to record and watch your favorite
TV shows (even HDTV). Vista also integrates new search tools throughout
the operating system, includes new parental control features, and
offers new tools that can warn you of impending hardware failures.
Make a Statement with the HP Artist Edition Notebook PC
Winning the international Take Action, Make Art competition
co-sponsored by HP and MTV was João Oliveira, a 20-year-old
artist from Portugal, who combined retro sensibility with modern
technology and a unifying Asian theme. Oliveira's design is found both
inside and out on this Artist Edition laptop, and his art also appears
in coordinating wallpaper options, product packaging, and
documentation. HP's high-gloss Imprint finish encases the elegant,
curvilinear form and is more durable than traditional painted surfaces.
The Basics
Processor: The Intel Core 2 Duo T5550 processor has a 1.83
GHz processor speed, fast 667 MHz front-side bus (FSB), and 2 MB L2
cache. (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.)
With two computational execution cores in a single processor, it
provides greater system response when running multi-threaded
applications simultaneously with no significant increase in power
consumption. It's optimized for multitasking and is ready to support
the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. It can simultaneously run
multiple demanding applications--such as graphics-intensive games or
serious number-crunching business productivity applications--while
downloading music or running virus-scanning security programs in the
background. Some of the advanced Intel innovations of the Core 2 Duo
processor include:
Smart Memory Access: Improves
system performance by hiding memory latency, thus optimizing the use of
available computer data bandwidth to provide data to the processor when
and where it is needed.
AdvancedDigital Media Boost: Effectively doubles the execution speed
for instructions used widely in multimedia and graphics applications.
Dynamic Power Coordination: Coordinates Enhanced Intel SpeedStep
Technology and idle power-management state (C-states) transitions
independently per core to help save power.
Deeper Sleep with Dynamic Cache Sizing: Saves power by flushing cache
data to system memory during periods of inactivity to lower CPU voltage.
Hard Drive: The 250 GB Serial ATA hard drive is more than double the
average size for notebook PCs, and it offers a fast 5400 RPM disk
speed--an improvement over other notebooks with extra-large hard
drives. It provides more than enough capacity for storing documents,
digital media files, and video editing software. This SATA hard drive
also quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data--akin to
FireWire and USB 2.0.
Memory: This notebook comes installed with 3 GB of RAM (DDR2), which
helps boost the amount of available video RAM that's shared with this
notebook's video card. It has a 4 GB RAM capacity.
DVD/CD Drive: This multiformat DVD/CD drive is compatible with writing
both DVD+ and DVD- disc formats as well as dual-layer (DL) DVD+/-R
discs, which can store up to 8.5 GB of data. It features 4x DVD-R DL
Write Once, 2.4x DVD+R DL Write Once, 8x DVD+R, 4x DVD+RW, 8x DVD-R, 4x
DVD-RW, 16x DVD-ROM, 40x CD-R, 24x CD-RW, and 40x CD-ROM speeds.
This LightScribe DVD±RW drive lets you laser-etch silkscreen
quality text and images on to CDs and DVDs . Your software, PC and
discs work together for a no-hassle way to burn just the labels you
want. After you burn content, just flip the disc over, reinsert and
burn your label--anything from a simple title to a full-disc work of
art.
Keyboard & Mouse: This notebook has a 101-key keyboard and a
touchpad with on/off button and dedicated vertical/horizontal Scroll
Up/Down pad. It also includes two quick-launch buttons (HP QuickPlay
Music and DVD).
Screen, Video & Audio
While this notebook is actually as wide as standard 15-inch displays,
the high-definition, widescreen 14.1-inch display (1280 x 800-pixel
resolution) has the same form factor as a 12-inch screen--taking up
less space on your desk. Video is powered by the Nvidia GeForce 8400M
GS graphics card, which provides up to 1407 MB of available RAM/video
memory (128 MB dedicated video RAM) for unmatched HD video performance
on a notebook PC. With support for Microsoft DirectX 10 Shader Model
4.0 and High Dynamic-Range Lighting (HDR), the 8400M lets you rip
through all of today's most advanced and cutting-edge games and
applications.
The Altec Lansing speakers provide exceptional sound, and a pair of
stereo earbud headphones with volume controls is included. You'll be
able to privately share enjoyment of multimedia with a friend via the
dual headphone jacks.
Networking, Connectivity
& Expansion
Be ready for the next platform in wireless connectivity with this
notebook's integrated quad-mode Wi-Fi chip. Based on the draft 802.11n
Wi-Fi specification, it offers up to five times the performance and
twice the wireless range as existing 802.11g wireless. It's also
backward compatible with 802.11b/g networks (commonly found in home
routers and Wi-Fi hotspots) as well as 802.11a networks (which has a
higher throughput, but more limited range--great for closed office
environments).
It also includes a next-generation ExpressCard 54/34 card slot (as well
as a standard PCMCIA slot), which lets you take advantage of thinner,
faster, and lighter expansion cards for even more advanced wireless,
networking, storage, and security features. Here's the full list of
connectivity options:
2 USB 2.0 ports for connecting a wide range of
peripherals--from digital cameras to MP3 players
1 FireWire (also known as IEEE 1394 or i.Link) port for
connecting digital video camcorders and other peripherals
1 HDMI output (for connecting to a compatible HDTV or home
theater receiver for uncompressed digital audio and video via a single
cable)
Analog video out: 1 VGA monitor port and 1 S-Video port for
connecting to a TV or projector
This PC is preloaded with Windows Vista Home Premium
Service Pack 1 (SP1), which collects previously released updates for
Windows Vista for improved security, reliability, and performance. It
also provides support for emerging hardware and standards, such as an
Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) and flash-based devices formatted
using the Extended File Allocation Table (exFAT) file format, and adds
improvements that will help businesses better optimize their IT
infrastructures.
Windows Vista Home Premium is the operating system for users with
advanced computer needs, and it includes all of the Windows Media
Center capabilities for turning your PC into an all-in-one home
entertainment center for watching DVD movies and accessing your digital
audio library. You can also use Windows Media Center to record and
watch your favorite TV shows (even HDTV) and to access new kinds of
online entertainment content. Computers that include Windows Vista Home
Premium and an auxiliary Windows SideShow display will also allow you
to access key data even when your computer is off. It is also easier
than ever to share files between other PCs in your household and to
manage your laptop computer settings to more securely connect via Wi-Fi.
Every edition of Windows Vista provides the essential tools and
technologies to help protect you whether you are browsing the Internet,
connecting to a wireless network, or just reading e-mail. All editions
of Windows Vista include new tools that can warn you of impending
hardware failures long before you have lost any important personal
data. And, all Windows Vista editions include parental control features
that allow you to manage and monitor your family's use of games, the
Internet, instant messaging, and other activities.
