subject: Hp Pavilion Dv4000 Appreciation [print this page] With the exit of IBM in the notebook market, and gave other manufacturers leave a lot of cake in a number of vendors Strength is not for a few, but in product quality, product promotion efforts, the market force and after-sales service and IBM is the closest, most have the power to snatch a piece of cake, the number of HP. HP's actions in the notebook again and again, intentionally or unintentionally that kind of attitude, the potential of great the dump soldiers attack, first in one fell swoop launched N series of six Business Notebook nw8240, nc8230, nc6230, nc6120, tc4200, nc4200, then they burst message to the introduction of four consumer notebook, respectively, v4000, dv4000, r4000 and zt6000, really menacing.
Will know who have some understanding of HP, HP released a dv1000 is a 14-inch widescreen notebook, using a unique HP BrightView technology, with the QuickPlay function, design, originality, resulting in a lot of users towards the think twilight would like. Our test room, this time through a special channel to get our hands on the HP Pavilion dv4000 notebook is also used BrightVeiw technology, with the QuickPlay function, Sonoma-based architecture.
It should be noted is the dv4000 is not a dv1000 replacement products, but the HP Pavilion product line launched a heavyweight widescreen. Widescreen notebook more and more accepted by the user, HP Paviliondv1000 in to become a flagship product, the thin and light portable widescreen 15.4-inch widescreen, a number of manufacturers to locate in high-end.
Appearance of Appreciation
The dv4000 is also affixed to the matte processing shell surface layer of protective film to prevent accidental scratches or dirty surface, but it looks not so comfortable, do not like the user can put a layer of protective film removed.
The dv4000's external port can be said that the very rich relative for dv1000 who made some adjustments, despite the elimination of the characteristics of the dual headphone jack design, but the number of USB ports to four, an increase of 915 chipset support the Express Card / 54 slot, it can be said that this replacement is quite worth it. dv4000 provide a 6in1 card reader, compatible with xD / SD / MMC / MS / MS Pro / Smart Media a variety of memory card, provides a great convenience for data transfer. Also worth mentioning is the dv4000 PCMCIA expansion card slot and Express Card / 54 slot, Express Card / 54 slot compatible with both formats Express card and PCMCIA card in the transmission speed and power greater advantage, instead of PCMCIA is an inevitable trend, but limited to the reasons of the market, and now the Express Card device is also unusual, so the dv4000 also provides two standard slots is a very sensible approach. Let's look at the distribution of the external ports:
Body the front side of the built-in speakers and an infrared port, and dv1000 compared to the abolition of the design of the front audio port. Speaker is the entire front of the fuselage, close to the Harman / Kardon logo on the right, from YAMAHA, Harman / Kardon sound and JBL compared favorably, infrared port and light design with, at first glance on the not so obvious.
Port of the left side of the fuselage HP Pavilion dv4200 battery is very rich, including the external power connector, the MODEM port, LAN port, docking station interface, two USB 2.0 ports, IEEE1394 port, 6in1 card reader, PCMCIA expansion card slot and Express Card / 54 insert slot. the same dv4000 and dv1000 placed in the slot of the PCMCIA expansion Zakaria an infrared remote control, a reasonable design allows users to feel intimate.
Battery-mounted design, the fuselage rear did not design any port, only one CPU cooling window, the middle can also see the Wireless LAN indicator can also see the status of the wireless network in the state of the screen is off.
dv4000 is a 15.4-inch widescreen notebook, the BrightView technology, other vendors have similar technology, but a different name, BrightView technology LCD abandon the shading layer, anti-scratch layer, in order to obtain better display effect, the display of text and images are more sharp, can get a good display in various lighting conditions to enjoy the DVD with this notebook, it should be good to enjoy.
The relatively large body, the dv4000 is a full-size keyboard, and PgUp / PgDn, Home / End keys also independent, there is no combination of arrow keys. Key width, key processes and key spacing is more appropriate, the standard American keyboard. To meet the demanding requirements of many "big man" on the keyboard, percussion process sound small and crisp.
dv4000 the front of the edge is curved, so the touchpad button and shell buckle design to look more harmonious, the prototype used for the first feeling touchpad buttons are a bit stiff and a little harder. Touchpad with scroll zone, but did not design the touchpad lock button, do not use the touchpad may occur misuse.
In addition to the side of the fuselage before the power supply, battery, hard drive indicator, dv4000 volume control buttons and power HP Pavilion dv4100 battery switch are designed to light, easy to use in dark environments, the Wireless LAN indicator and dv1000 are the same design the center of the shaft, in a variety of state at a glance the status of the wireless card. dv4000 also supports QuickPlay function, volume control button on the left side will provide the quick play button in a state that does not boot to open the QuickPlay function, multimedia playback, the multimedia control buttons are integrated in the F function keys , and dv1000 less than a fraction of the multimedia taste, more than a bit refreshing.
dv4000's volume is 35.85 (L) x 25.78 (W) x 3.35 (D) cm, with the battery weight of 2.95Kg, plus the weight of the adapter, then it will be more than 3Kg for mobile certain inconvenience, but after all a 15.4-inch widescreen notebook, it is not good in size and weight of the accused. dv4000 is equipped with 6-cell lithium-ion batteries, said to provide 4 hours of battery life, presumably this time is measured based on the use of power management software, the actual use of time will be shorter, depending on usage. given.
Summary
Line on the a dv4000 argument can be said is varied, and many of their ideas are dv4000 in all aspects difficult to dv1000 successor to locate, at best, only be regarded as a dv series supernumerary products. To get a a dv4000 prototype and data comparison and simple to use, we found that the the HP Pavilion dv4000 canceled the audio interface features dual headphone jack design, but instead is more than the increase in a USB port and Express Card / 54 slot and PCMCIA expansion card slot to the coexistence of the design, this design I believe most people would consider more appropriate, dv4000 same BrightView technology, and support QuickPlay function, also increased in size in a circle, we can say the dv4000 only continues the dv1000 classic, but also by the Sonoma Dongfeng there is not a small improvement, to reconsider its pricing to a more approachable enough to attract the attention of many people.
