Description:
Designed to maximize performance while minimizing expense, the HP Pavilion ze4210 Notebook PC is a solid entry-level notebook that's ready to efficiently handle most typical light- to medium-duty portable computing tasks. If price is your most critical parameter and you can do without the latest high-end amenities, the HP Pavilion ze4210 should warrant serious consideration. Running at 1.6 GHz, the unit's Intel Pentium Celeron CPU is the heart of a cost-efficient processing engine that also includes an acceptable 256 DDR SDRAM (expandable to 1024 MB) and an ATI Mobility Radeon graphics controller with 64 MB shared (not dedicated) video memory. You definitely won't want to rely on this system for 3D gaming, graphics design or heavy-duty business applications, but it will suffice nicely for basic duties such as contact management, word processing, email communications, spreadsheets and the like. The Pavilion ze4210 features an smallish 20 GB hard disk on which to store your programs and files, and a DVD drive through which you can play audio CDs and watch the latest movies. CD and DVD burning are not supported in this stock configuration. The unit's 15-inch XGA TFT display will convey crisp, clean images to a maximum 1024x768 resolution, and its 16-bit Sound Blaster Pro-compatible audio chipset and integrated Altec-Lansing speakers deliver satisfying mobile sound. Controlling the Pavilion ze4210 is a snap. The unit features a full-size 88-key keyboard with embedded numeric keypad, a Touch Pad 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, a parallel port, serial port, VGA and TV outs, a 56K modem for low-speed e-communication, and integrated 10/100BASE-T Ethernet LAN for fast networking. The system does not offer wireless communication or high-speed USB 2.0 or FireWire connections. HP has fitted the Pavilion ze4210 with an 8-cell Lithium-Ion battery. Pre-installed software includes Windows XP Home Edition, Corel Productivity Pack (WordPerfect 10, Quattro Pro 10), Intuit Quicken New Users Edition 2002, and an assortment of multimedia utilities.
