Description:
HP designed its Pavilion zv5000 series notebooks to be fast and utilitarian for today's mobile worker, and the zv5030us lives up to that description. With a fast 2.66 GHz Intel Pentium 4 processor, the zv5030us features a 40 GB hard drive and 512 MB of installed RAM. It also offers such bonuses as a combo DVD/CD-RW drive, 5-in-1 digital media card reader, and integrated 54g wireless LAN card. The Basics
- Hard Drive: The 40 GB enhanced-IDE hard drive (4200 RPM) offers plenty of space for most users, and is more than enough for typical data--from spreadsheets and word processing files to your digital snapshots.
- Processor: The 2.66 GHz Intel Pentium 4 processor is quick and nimble, and it will be more than fast enough for everyday computing tasks, multimedia, and processor intensive spreadsheet work. It has an FSB (front-side bus) of 533 MHz.
- Memory: The zv5030us comes with a 512 MB built-in memory (DDR SDRAM, 333 MHz)--a good start for power users--with a maximum memory expansion up to 1 GB (2 x 512 MB). It also has an L2 cache of 512 KB.
- CD/DVD Drive: It comes equipped with a combo DVD/CD-RW drive, which enables you to play DVD-ROM discs and DVD movies as well as burn data and record music to CD discs (at 24x speed).
- Keyboard & Mouse: The zv5030us has a 101-key keyboard and touchpad with on/off button and dedicated vertical scroll up/down pad.
Sound and Graphics
You'll get crisp, clear sound via the integrated 16-bit Sound Blaster Pro-compatible audio card. The zv5030us features internal Harman Kardon speakers. The installed ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 IGP video/graphics card is a relatively strong 3-D graphics renderer, and it has 64 MB of shared video memory. The 15.4-inch WXGA WVA TFT active matrix LCD has a native 1280 x 800 pixel display. Connectivity and Expansion Slots
