HP Pavilion dv5000t

HP Pavilion dv5000t

review

By Cisco Cheng

A new addition to HP's Pavilion dv5000 line of consumer laptops, the HP Pavilion dv5000t ($1,964 direct) is one of the latest mainstream notebooks to feature an advanced Intel Core Duo processor. A related new model, the dv5000z ($1,514), uses an AMD processor. Both systems give you a rich media experience, but if the seductive Pavilion dv5000 series really floats your boat, which system do you go with? A machine outfitted with a 64-bit AMD Turion processor or one with an Intel Core Duo chip?
