HP Pavilion HDX18t Review
August 29, 2009 by Alex Redmond
With
its outstanding 18.4” screen, immense power and superb media capabilities theHP
Pavilion HDX18tis the ideal
multi location notebook or desktop replacement. With a price tag of $3000 it is
not for everybody but if you are a hard core gamer you will appreciate this
machine.
With a Blu-ray optical drive, HD screen with 16:9 ratio,
6GB of RAM, and a QX9300 there is simply no match in the market for this
behemoth.
New HP Design
At 9 pounds, the HDX 18 is no light weight, but it’s sleek ultramodern design
belies its weight and its also thinner than the majority of the competition.
Externally the HDX 18t is a show stopper with its titanium “liquid metallic”
design and full-size, color-matched keyboard with numeric keypad. Open the lid
and you will see matching palm rests and touchpads with the same high gloss feel
an silver and patterned black lines span across a charcoal background. The
keyboard and touchpad are silver, and the titanium pattern even extends to the
touchpad.
The full size keyboard and numeric keypad is an excellent example of the new HP
Pavilion models and its equally as good as the keyboard on the dv7 which is
excellent to work on for long periods. Also like the dv series, the HDX has a
row of touch-sensitive backlit buttons above the keyboard to control media
playback functions.
Multimedia Powerhouse
With its full HD display, and 16:9 aspect ratio widescreen movies just look
awesome. In a word, it’s stunning. Watchingany
Blu-Ray movie and you’ll see the format in all its glory, with excellent colour
and sharp vivid contrast. The glossy screen is tad too reflective, and does
limit the viewing angles slightly, but don’t let that comment put you off, this
is an outstanding screen.
Sound reproduction is also excellent from the built in Altec Lansing speakers,
and the do produce stunning theater-quality sound. With the Dolby Home Theater
software it simulates the surround sound experience to give the impression of
Dolby True 5.1 Surround.
Inputs and Outputs
The HDX 18 has all the usual ports which include four USB ports, FireWire, HDMI,
VGA, and eSATA ports, Ethernet and optional 56k modem. and Like the dv7 you get
two headphone ouputs and a microphone, an ExpressCard/54 slot and a 5-in-1
memory card reader.
The low light Webcam produces good video and still photos the CyberLink YouCam
software, offers a plethora of special effects, including filters, distortions,
avatars, backgrounds, and animations.
Entertainment at the Extreme
We love the HP Pavilion range of high performance notebooks including the HDX
16t, and the HP dv7. What makes the HDX 18t stand out is its sheer size and
power. The screen can only be described as staggering and the Theatre quality
sound is excellent. Without doubt this is an outstanding entertainment centre
but the HDX 18 also doubles up as a great work horse and it breezes through
multi tasked Office apps, number crunching, and photo and video editing tasks.
Graphics Performance is exceptional with the Nvidia GT graphics
card and with 1GB of dedicated memory driving the the 18.4-inch display it
delivers a higher than average score.
Our favorite game along with millions of people is World of Warcraft and if
you’re going on a weekend trip and can’t stand being away from all your guildies,
then the HDX will serve you well.
It would be a brave man or woman though that ventured on to an aircraft with an
HDX. As with the dv7, the HPPavilion
HDX 18t is certainly no laptop. This is a full blown multi location
entertainment PC for moving about the home, from home to office, or to your
weekend place in the trunk of your car. Going on a long RV trip? The HDX Premium
Series makes an ideal travelling companion, combining a full blown HD Media
Entertainment Center, a games machine and a powerful workhorse in a
transportable configuration.
HP have redefined the desktop replacement and entertainment notebook sector with
the HDX Series. If it fits the bill and you can afford the best, then don’t
hesitate.
