Description:
Just because you have a limited expense account doesn't mean you shouldn't have a reliable mobile computer crafted of respected components. Based upon Intel Pentium 4 architecture but without some of the bells and whistles of a high-end, high-cost unit, the HP Pavilion ze5250 notebook PC is a sensibly designed machine perfectly suited to most common computing applications. Measuring 12.96 by 10.72 by 1.79 inches and weighing a comfortable 7.5 pounds, the Pavilion ze5250 is not particularly difficult to transport. Inside HP has installed a capable processing system comprising a high-performance 2 GHz Intel Pentium 4 processor, 512 MB of DDR SDRAM memory (expandable to 1,024 MB), and a 64 MB ATI Mobility Radeon graphics chip. In simple terms, there isn't much the Pavilion ze5250 can't do. The unit features an adequate 40 GB hard disk on which to store your programs and files, and a convenient DVD/CD-RW combo drive through which you can burn and play audio CDs, archive data, and watch the latest movies. Its integrated 15-inch XGA TFT display is just slightly larger than average and supports crisp, clean images at 1,024 x 768 resolution. HP has even added a 16-bit Sound Blaster Pro-compatible audio chipset and integrated Altec Lansing speakers. Controlling the Pavilion ze5250 is a snap. The unit features a full-size 88-key keyboard with embedded numeric keypad, a touchpad with on/off button, and a dedicated vertical scroll-up/-down pad. Other amenities include two USB 1.1 ports for plug-and-play peripherals, one IEEE 1394 port for high-speed interaction with demanding external peripherals such as digital camcorders, VGA and TV outs, an RJ-45 Ethernet jack for fast network and Internet interaction, and a built-in 56K modem for low-speed e-communication. Pre-installed software includes Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, Corel WordPerfect 10, Intuit Quicken New Users Edition 2002, and an assortment of multimedia utilities.
