Overview: HP Pavilion HDX18






Our pre-production review unit of the Pavilion HDX18 features the following specs:

  • Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo T9600 (2.8GHz, 1066MHz FSB, 6MB Level 2 cache)
  • Operating system: Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit
  • Memory: 4GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM (800MHz)
  • Hard drive: 2 x 160GB (7200rpm)
  • Screen:18" HD HP Ultra Brightview Infinity glossy display (1920 x 1080)
  • Graphics: Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT with 512MB GDDR3
  • Optical drive: Blu-Ray multi-drive
  • Ethernet, VGA, HDMI, docking station port, microphone in, two audio out jacks, three USB ports, eSATA/USB, 5-in-1 card reader, ExpressCard slot, built-in TV tuner
  • Wireless: 802.11a/g/n, Bluetooth 2.0
  • Battery: 8-cell Lithium-ion battery (73W)
  • Dimensions 17.17" x 11.26" 1.33-1.72" (WxDxH)
  • Weight: 8.94 lbs.

Our pre-production unit comes equipped with two 160GB hard drives, but this configuration will not be offered at the time of launch. The next closest available configuration will be a similar system with two 250GB 5400rpm hard drives ($2,049.99) or two 250GB 7200rpm hard drives ($2,149.99). This desktop replacement is clearly targeted at multimedia and gaming enthusiasts who want cutting-edge features and can afford the slightly higher price tag.
