Reviews of the HP Pavilion dv8000
-
CNET Review
The Good: Affordable; excellent keyboard, touch pad, and number pad; solid multimedia features and performance; includes a double-layer DVD burner with LightScribe; plays DVDs and CDs without booting the OS.
The Bad: Dim display; TV tuner not included; subpar gaming performance; speakers inferior to those on previous model.
The Bottom Line: In addition to a pleasing design, a good basic set of multimedia features, and solid performance, the HP Pavilion dv8000 has a competitive price that undercuts much of the competition.

Review Summary: It's a hulking heavy machine that should pack the latest and greatest into one box but HP has trimmed the specs to meet the price, which is a pity
