News, Reviews, and Pictures of the HP Pavilion Laptop and Notebook PCsWhat is the best HP notebook computer? HP's main line of notebook computers is the Pavilion. Their highest end laptop (designed more as a desktop replacement) is the ZD8000, with a 3.4GHz Intel Pentium 4 processor and a 17" wide screen display. At over 9 pounds and almost 2 inches thick, these machines are not really designed to be tucked under your arm and whisked around throughout your day. The DV4000 and DV1000 offer slower processors (unless you are a 3-D gaming master, they are a better bet), they drop a few pounds, and they save you about $500. In general, avoid the top of the line, fastest Intel chips out there. You usually pay a big premium without seeing any meaningful performance improvements.
Compaq Presario Notebook ComputerHP has retained the Compaq line of laptop computers, and brands them under the Presario name. The high-end is the V4000 series, designed for mobile computing, with the Intel Celeron M 360 processors, a 15.4" WXGA screen, and coming in at 1.67" thick and 6.4 pounds. The R4000 series features AMD processors and is about $75 cheaper. Their smallest machines are the V2000Z and V2000 notebook families, at just over 5 lbs. HP provides complete specs on their website (shopping.hp.com). It seems HP engineering spends its time on the Pavilion series - we'd stick to that line. The links on this page provide additional information, search suggestions, and resources.
