Review date: Jul 14, 2008

With its high-res 17-inch screen, built-in TV tuner, and Blu-ray drive, the HP Pavilion dv7 ($1,900 as tested) is particularly well suited for rigorous multimedia use. It offers a sleek design and strong performance, bringing a high-end computing experience to people who are willing to spend more to get the best. Futuristic New Design The dv7 is one of three new dv-series notebooks to usher in a fresh Pavilion design. Instead of the old Imprint pattern, the onyx lid now has a subtle grid pattern that extends to the keyboard deck. HP’s logo glows brightly in the upper left corner. Inside, the shiny silver deck, keyboard, and chrome speaker strip look and feel futuristic. As we noted with the 15-inch dv5t
