Reviews of the HP dv9000z (Vista Ultimate)

CNET Review
The Good: Beautiful design; bright, crisp display; complete set of AV controls, ports, and connections, including an HD DVD drive; long battery life; touch pad on/off button; excellent software.
The Bad: Display resolution could be higher; media controls provide audible feedback when pressed.
The Bottom Line: The HD-friendly, feature-laden HP Pavilion dv9000z offers a high-end entertainment experience without the high-end price tag of competitive models.
