Hp Pavilion Dv5 Limited Review
HP Pavilion dv5 Soho Limited Edition is a light wave of the winter special section of NB
, the 15-inch dv5 green to wear elegant white pattern case, looks very attractive. Main function is still a rich multi-media, only slightly adjusted specifications, switch to cheaper Pentium Dual-Core processor, so that pricing greatly reduced. While still maintaining independence was 9600M GT chip high-profile, on the whole it is very cost-effective.
Design
I have always been white inexplicable preference for 3C products, but also white too good-looking white, white as a texture. Let alone the Apple brand products, HP dv5 white limited edition this has done a very good example.
It is the first priority is the white paint of the local delicacy, Oh, strictly speaking, in fact, HP Imprint IMR chassis, with a bright white in the face, is not easy, as dirt is not easy to see black fingerprint . Furthermore, it is also simple textured pattern IMR, a few slices of fresh green leaves diamond-shaped symbol, a whole are elegant and up.
Another very excellent place, is the keyboard white coating. Pavilion of the key every time a limited edition painting are especially good-looking, like the dv5 keyboard so perfectly clean, although not long afraid to fight dirty, but the preference for white people, or have unlimited appeal.
Dv5-ray wave machine with the same visual features, including illuminated HP logo will cover the whole plane without borders mirror screen, built-in WebCam, Altec Lansing speakers, still points to dv5 Limited Edition strengths. And compared to Standard Edition dv5 light wave, white version of the overall appearance is pretty much.

I / O configuration
Limited Edition of I / O is almost identical with the standard version, the only difference is less modem ports. But for home NB, the modem has really rarely use, and even many business models have begun to cancel a modem port. dv5 providing a total of four USB 2.0 ports (second from left second from right), very good enough, but one also and for the eSATA port, an external SATA hard drive can transfer data at full speed.
Other I / O are also good, including a double headphone jack, you can share music with friends or watching movies, IEEE 1394 is used to shoot their own video clips, HDMI to connect high-quality large-size TV, ExpressCard/54 chip-based card slot also possesses retractable remote control functions.
More importantly, dv5 built-in analog / digital dual TV card, just connect the antenna cable or digital cable, you can happily watch TV, and the use of
HP Pavilion dv5 video / digital translation and other functions, easy to enjoy their leisure time .

Right: CD-ROM drive, USBx2, TV antenna hole (to cancel the modem port), anti-theft lock, power supply hole

Input device
White version of the keyboard module with the difference between Standard Edition dv5, only the color of buttons to my preferences, of course, that white light shining before the keyboard than pretty much. Totem touch pad also has green leaves, so that the inner surface of white feeling lively again. Side of the lock button on the touchpad, external mouse, touch pad function can be turned off to avoid inadvertently typing to go to.
Specification components
The limited edition HP Pavilion, specifications may not be upgraded. This time, like the white Soho Limited Edition, Standard Edition specification on the more (dv5-1003tx) lower. The main difference is the Core 2 Duo processor has been replaced with low-end Pentium Dual-Core. In addition, the same memory is 2GB, but the two into one, so there is no dual channel. Hard disk capacity is relatively less, but also because of this, but Soho Limited Edition price is much lower than the standard version.
The following is the HP Pavilion dv5 Soho Limited Edition main specifications:
- Processor Intel Pentium Dual Processor T3400 (2.16GHz)
- Screen Resolution 15.4 "WXGA (glossy screen) - no frame design
- Operating System Windows Vista Home Premium
- Memory 2GB (2GBx1) 800MHz DDR2 memory
- Graphics Nvidia GeForce 9600M-GT 512MB
- Hard Disk 250GB (5400 rpm)
- CD-ROM drive DVD RW Double Layer burner + LightScribe double-layer write speed of light
- Built-in Wireless 802.11a/b/g + Bluetooth v2.0 devices
- Built-in analog / digital TV tuner
Look at the difference we feel good most of the CPU performance. Pentium Dual-Core is easy to mistakenly believe that the old days of the Pentium M processor, but in fact it is the 65nm process, Merom micro-architecture, the equivalent of the previous Core Duo dual-core processors. Limited Edition to use the stone dv5 T3400, for example, its 2.16GHz clock are also considered not low, but compared to mainstream Core 2 Duo-FSB 1066MHz/3MB L2, it's FSB 667MHz/1MB L2 was relatively weak.
Just look at the gap between the performance specifications that are not allowed, so I use a little bit CINEBENCH test. Get closer to the specifications of Core 2 Duo P8400 (2.26GHz, 3MB, 1066, 45nm Penryn) as control group, it has a score of 403 single-core, dual-core 731 to speed up 1.81; and Pentium Dual-Core T3400
HP Pavilion dv4 is a single-core 355, dual-core 639 to speed up 1.80 times.
Into consideration the gap between the clock, then there is not much worse performance computing. But the old 65nm process, Merom micro-architecture is flawed, on the one hand with the heat power capacity will be as good as the new 45nm process, two aspects of multimedia computing power the new Penryn micro-architecture is relatively strong.
dv5 removable components, including a 2.5-inch SATA hard drives, optical drives, two DDR2 memory, a TV card Mini Card format, there is a BIOS battery is mercury batteries. One of the most recommended that you upgrade the memory, added to two dual-channel RAM to run, then performance will be greatly improved.
Lower-level Pentium Dual-Core processor, the CPU and RAM to make dv5 scores are highest in the wind, but fortunately not too much difference, but also in the high-end graphics chip's blessing, under the smooth operation of Vista are not as input Core 2 Duo models. In addition, dv5 hard disk performance is quite satisfactory.
Overall
HP Pavilion dv5 Soho Limited Edition white appearance, makes the impression of light wave dv5 all changed, white body decorated with green leaves look elegant and charming. To retain all of the standard version features multimedia capabilities, only part of the specification reduced. Downgraded Pentium Dual-Core processor though the impact to operations performance, but the 9600M GT high-end graphics chip to save this part of the whole back, as a video game is completely qualified for NB.
More importantly, dv5 White Soho Limited Edition priced NT $ 34900 yuan is also much lower than the standard version, with such a modest price you can buy also looks pretty strong notebook performance, cost-effective
HP Pavilion dv5z it really is. Oh, but if a girl, then have to pay attention dv5 is a 15-inch models, size is too large emphasis on the yo.
Advantages: 1. Elegant and charming white coating; 2 complete multimedia feature-rich; 3 built-in analog / digital TV function; 4 high-end independent display chip, 3D performance strong; 5 the price quite a bargain.
Disadvantages: 1 size too large, too much weight, when the table is more suitable for machine use; 2 lower-level processor specifications; 3 life is weak, is not suitable to go out.
