subject: 17-inch Entertainment Shocked-notebook Hp Dv9026tx Review [print this page] HP DV9026TX-drive performance and heat dissipation
In the top personal notebook "flood" of today, whether ASUS, Acer, or Dell is not used without the subject stunning appearance, the ultimate mobile configurations to arm themselves, to reach the high-end "gaming devices" purposes. Today came eNet HP DV9000 series evaluation room in DV9026TX (later known DV9026), is used to interpret the concept of a different notebook. Performance The biggest difference is that it uses two hard drives to increase the integration of performance. And consistent theme. Overall people feel like an elegant "gentleman" does not by any external influences their attitude, "only to do their own, rather than doing what they want."
Keywords: hard disk
HP DV9026 laptop with other top biggest difference in hardware is that it uses a 2 * 120GB hard drive, hard drive while using these two models of Western Digital WD1200BEVS-60LAT0 ATA Device hard drive, Western Digital is now the main push of 2.5 inch mobile hard disk, it has a Western Digital official nominal WhisperDrive (private drive) and SoftSeek (software lookup) technology that allows the hard disk has better technical support. The design of the hard drive, we found that the distance between two hard 11.3cm, two hard drives so that more heat can be dispersed. In the internal hard drive, each drive using the metal frame to protect all, and the use of buckle-in design. However, the design of the screw drive each location, but did not install, recommended here is offered for sale to solve this problem, in order to avoid hazards from occurring. Here we used HDTach test drive this section, we found that the two hard drives in seeking a more stable situation, seek time are 33.7MB / s, even faster than some 7200rpm hard drive.
Temperature of the disk while the user is also a lot of bitter problem, and the palm rest in the palm rest were set around the two hard drives how the overall temperature in the end, we tested the temperature of its evaluation. Here we use the Everest in the "system stability test", by the temperature monitoring and hand touch two kinds of feelings, to observe the overall performance of hard power. This hard drive in which case the main standby hard drive (to install Vista system disk) temperature of 38 degrees, 32 degrees, Vice hard drive, run this section in the software (CPU usage 100%) 15 minutes, two hard drives in a more smooth temperature rise, are progressive 6 degrees. And after 30 minutes, two hard drives again progressive 6 degrees. In the meantime, we are the first / 15 minutes / 30 minutes, his hand feeling the temperature rise of the palm rest. Because the main hard drive which is located in the bottom of the left touch pad, the overall smaller size, running 15 minutes, hot spots began to appear, but after 30 minutes, the hot spots continue to rise, but still can be adapted to hot spots. In the vice disk, the three cases basically feel the rising feeling, excellent temperature control.
In addition to hard drives other than this section we also observed the other components in the "System Stability Test" under the state, first, DV9026 at the bottom of the fuselage design of the three inlets, and on the bottom side and rear fuselage were set 2 an outlet. When running the software area near the two inlet air cooling the strongest sense. Side of the outlet air flow out of small, hand-3cm distance from the outlet to feel the presence of hot air. The rear fuselage vents must be less than 12cm distance was feeling the presence of hot air, but the outlet did not affect the post-operational sense, it can be said for the power of such a large set of models for the rear is the most sensible of choice. Everest in the observation post, DV9026 CPU temperature began to rise from 45 degrees. But the satisfactory running of this CPU is 74 degrees, the temperature will not rise. Powerful models for performance, this temperature control is also commendable. Based on the above description, this model of the hot air in the upper and lower, and care at the left palm.
HP DV9026TX-software introduction
HP has been a lot of ordinary, and commercial favorite, and this is because it is two-pronged approach in consumer and commercial area, and features very clear, this is the biggest difference between it and IBM. And in the home field (DV Series), which uses the technology it has become the user QuickPlay biggest selling point. In pressing the QuickPlay button, DV9206 through the landing system, this section directly to the pop-up software, allowing users to viewing more convenient.
First, in the QuickPlay button next to, DV9206 DV series with the other, like the design of a DVD button, press this button after that, you can watch a DVD or directly related documents. This software is one of the most noteworthy is that the menu options you can adjust the screen ratio (4:3 / 16:9), the audio output format (SPDIF / analog speakers), subtitles and other audio-visual user must adjust the options. In the DVD playback software or soft pop-up control drive, and battery indicator.
Secondly, in the static / dynamic picture of the view, the right of the box is outside the page and find the menu items. It can support a picture after the click, the slide browsing. The left border of the other projects to support other QuickPlay jump, user-friendly with each other in the conversion. It also supports online upgrades, watching television, sound recording function. In addition to this software, the HP also randomly went to get Muvee software for video production for dynamic help.
Finally, in the Windows Help and support options, you can also check the system information, learning center, troubleshooting, driver / software downloads, to restore the factory settings for the HP software is not about providing help through this software it will DV9026 software integrated with the biggest selling point, through the media (the word and figure) of the Introduction and index to help users quickly understand the software they need, and get started right away.
HP DV9026TX-shape description
In volume terms, the HP DV9026 is 383.8 * 288 * 39.8 (thickest) / 33.8mm (thinnest), with the DV series classic piano, streamlined design, are 17-inch notebook in it more noble qualities. And DV9026TX weighs 3.78kg, not suitable for carrying. In the case at the other two series compared to the DV, it is the biggest difference is the set of two clips, will affect the overall safety of a large body of exclusion.
Within the control area, the details of the flow lines are still faintly visible, the overall modification also has a finishing touch. Exactly as it has a piano-like quiet. At the same time it's silver with white wavy panels, musical instruments, like many well-known composers of note, with waves of volatility, are also moving in the performance of the static part of their movement. Can be said that the choice of either paint or color matching, DV9026 notebook positioned completely in tune with home video, and can also use craft the vision to appreciate it.
Meanwhile, the hp pavilion dv9000 also features light of the "killer", the blue light just as the English word "Blue", as to convey the melancholy eyes. The top of the keyboard which is its special function control area, but also can be called media player area, in addition to QuickPlay before we introduce the shortcut key. It also has fast forward, play, rewind, turn off, mute, volume control function. And these keys are used in the form of touch. In addition, the front of the fuselage, above the touchpad, and power is also used to decorate the blue LED lights.
HP DV9026TX-controlled areas described
HP DV9026 is still in use in the control region of the overall design of the DV series, and more DV2000/6000 biggest difference is the use of the keyboard to form a standard 101 keyboard, numeric keypad which is the greatest manifestation of this sense of control undoubtedly set to restore the desktop PC, the operation to provide greater convenience. This restores the keyboard and the first line of a standard keyboard control keys, which from the esc to Pa dn, respectively 1/4/4/4/2/4 to group, in addition to the esc and delete key, other keys are used the Fn shortcuts, In addition, the QuickPlay media outside the region, DV9026 in the F9-F12 has set up a group of home keys, allow users to use more choice.
In the letter area, length and width of the keyboard are 18mm, are standard keyboard size. One key from the keyboard and key-way are 0.9mm/1.1mm, after the hands on the palm rest, touchpad position because the design of the reasons for making the right than the left hand on the keyboard, tilt angle, and because the design of the keyboard frame Some too deep, so that the thumb control on top in some awkward. However, no hands on the top of the crowded feeling. Meanwhile, a key bit from side to side, you can feel the keyboard confinement. And hand pressing random keys of one corner, the other three corners can quickly follow. But when the keyboard has some noise, but also for discerning gamers, back to the keyboard will force moderate users do not have much sense, I recommend that an external keyboard for the game.
In the touchpad area, this use of wide-screen touch pad, and with Space (space bar) the same width, recessed in the design and use of split palm rest, and the use of piano for the transition, the overall design clear. At the same time on the touch pad configuration rarely seen in the console screen touchpad buttons, and has a light to distinguish. In addition, this palm rest to support the shortcut keys to adjust the vertical, in operation with the mouse is very hands, the sensitivity is moderate. And in the running for some time, temperature control is more excellent, very suitable for learning long-term use.
5 HP DV9026TX-Interfaces
The interface, the HP DV9026, respectively, with four USB ports, IEEE1394 port, VGA port, HDMI port, RJ11/RJ45 network interface, SD / MS / MMC / xD four and a card reader, S-Vidio Out interfaces, PCMCIA II interface, laptop lock, DVD SuperMulit drive, SPDIF / headphone dual interface, microphone jack, and docking connector. Note: All to use whichever direction.
In the left side of the fuselage were set from outside to inside the notebook lock, S-Vidio Out port, VGA port, docking connector, RJ11/RJ45 network interface, HDMI interface, a shaped 2 USB Interface, IEEE1394 interface, SD / MS / MMC / xD card reader. This is the largest body, the most it should be mentioned in this framework is the interface protection, DV9026 will need to protect the HDMI interface, USB interface, the use of recessed design, you can better protect these interfaces. And the degree of control of these interfaces excellent tolerance, directly reflected in the insert interface, the hp pavilion dv9200 battery interface between the degree of confinement well, even more than the number of commercial aircraft. At the same time, the distance between these interfaces in 6mm. In addition, HDMI interface settings, and it's has an excellent visual effect, in movies and pictures to be more immersive.
In the right side of the fuselage from the outside in, using HP DV9026 power connector, USB interface, DVD SuperMulit drive, PCMCIA II interface, USB interface. 2 USB interface, which also has fastening / protection features, this drive is very worthy of our attention. First, this model is TSSTcorp CD / DVDRW TS-L632M (Samsung) optical drive, support for LightScribe (LightScribe) technology, and also supports double-layer burning DL. When placed in a Benq DVD-R (using 4.34GB) disc, the excellent noise control, but with a sense of small resonance.
In front of the fuselage, just set the HP DV9026 SPDIF / headphone jack, microphone jack. While the left side of the front also set up a wireless network switch, and light switches are differentiated by different colors, which are also often appear in the commercial machine, so DV9026 to feel it's our biggest home machine also has a level of commercial aircraft This rigorous but also very little consideration of other household machines. In the rear of the fuselage is not set interface.
HP DV9026TX-screen description
HP DV9026 on the screen, the 17-inch WSXGA wide screen mode (1440 * 900), and the use of outstanding brightness and contrast TRUELIFE glossy screen, and adjust the light and dark bands when adjusting 12 (no brightness display state), each stage brightness has a larger gap, suitable for all people to use. In addition, pressing the screen, it's a sense of very small ripple, and so shake the screen, although there is the feeling of swaying left and right, but the screen panel frame combined with a very close, and the border does not appear from the phenomenon, although not a lot of hype screen technology protection, but it is also passed to our secure strong feelings. In addition, this screen to adjust the maximum angle of 150 degrees, and 1.3 million on the screen with a pinhole camera.
Since the use of TRUELIFE mirror screen, then it must choose a better expression. Here, we used DisplayX screen test software, parallel to the distance from the notebook 32cm, height 31cm vertical distance, in the darkroom using the naked eye the performance of this screen:
In contrast expression, we found that this screen when the screen the brightest expression of the most outstanding. This screen is not only one of the most light and brightness very well. And a common problem for LCD (dark expression) is equally impressive. Directly reflected in the screen at the top of the first row number "1" gray block can be shown, this display can be competent enough to prove that the contrast for demanding users. Expression in the 256 levels, this performance is more obvious contrast between the large gray block in each case, the first line of all the most dark to see, the screen contrast is perfect.
The convergence of expression in the font, the font on the screen of the 5-point average performance under the premise of the convergence of the font equally good, and because the reasons for the big screen, you can move farther back to see the point in the font.
Finally, on the expression of color, strong contrast with the expressive, HP DV9026 color is more distinct expression of light and shade, and out to the dark matter or dark to clear, the colors are very smooth and progressive. But hp pavilion dv8 the screen for white expression compared with the other colors 8 colors, expressive weaker. In the viewing angle, the screen this good in 45-110 degree vertical viewing angle. Adjust the angle left and right because it is the glossy screen, so the 0-70 degrees with a good viewing angle.
HP DV9026TX-configuration description
Through the above results, we can see on this DV9026 945PM + ICH7M chipset, with Intel Core 2 Duo T5600 processor, which processor's clock frequency of 1.83GHz, FSB 667MHz, secondary cache to 2M. This is the Merom core 2M cache version of the highest frequency. In memory, DV9026 uses DDR2-667 2 * 512MB of modern memory. This match is also very interesting, such as Asus and other manufacturers if the notebook with 1G of memory, will not consider installing two 512MB memory
In graphics cards, DV9026 uses a Nvidia Geforce Go 7600 graphics card, this card uses the 90nm G73M core, GPU frequency of 450MHz, and install the DDR2 memory in the form, with a 5 pixel vertex pixel shader units and 8 units . Everest on this card through the test, its memory interface 128bit, and not to shrink. Next, we used the 3DMark05/06, and Doom3 tests, although because of pixel pipelines less than NV Go 7700 4, so the result is still some gaps, but compared to competitors, ATI Mobile Readon X1600 or some of the strong.
