Product Description

Discover the advantages of being mobile with a powerful Intel processor and integrated wireless connectivity! This notebook has everything you need for productivity on the go.

Amazon.com Product Description

Balancing power and mobility, the HP Pavilion zv5330us notebook PC offers a fast 3.2 GHz hyper-threaded Intel Pentium 4 processor and a bright 15.4-inch widescreen display for effective presentations, photo slideshows, and DVD movie playback. The zv5330us also offers a large 80 GB hard drive, 512 MB of installed RAM, 54g wi-fi connectivity (with SpeedBooster support), a high-end video card with 128 MB of shared video memory, and a combo DVD+RW/CD-RW drive.

The Basics

Hard Drive: The 80 GB hard drive is larger than the average notebook's, enabling road warriors more than enough capacity for storing documents, digital media files, and productivity software.
Processor: The hyper-threaded 3.2 GHz Intel Pentium 4 processor allows a single CPU system to behave in some aspects like a dual-CPU system, helping to deliver faster transistors and increased performance. It also features a 1 MB L2 cache and a blazingly fast 800 MHz front-side bus speed
A Hyper-Threading processor helps a PC to run multiple demanding applications at the same time. This technology enables the processor to execute two threads (a part of a program) in parallel, boosting performance during key high-drain procedures. This results in more efficient software performance (such as faster reaction times in gaming applications) and enhanced multitasking.
Memory: The 512 MB of built-in memory (2 x 256 MB, 266 MHz, DDR SDRAM) is a good start for power users. It has two memory slots in total, with a maximum memory expansion up to 1280 MB (1 x 256 MB, 1 x 1024 MB).
CD/DVD Drive: It is equipped with a combo DVD+/-RW and CD-RW drive. For DVD-RW discs, it has a 1x write/rewrite speed, while for DVD+RW discs it has a 2x write/rewrite speed (DVDs are read at 5x). For CDs, it has a 16x write/8x rewrite/24x read speed.
Keyboard & Mouse: This notebook has a standard 101-key keyboard and two-button touchpad with on/off button and dedictated vertical scroll up/down pad.

Sound and Graphics
The ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 IGP video/graphics card delivers strong 3D graphics and video playback and it shares 128 MB of DDR video RAM. The 15.4-inch WXGA high-definition BrightView widescreen display has a 1280 x 800-pixel resolution. The integrated audio card offers 16-bit Sound Blaster Pro-compatible audio through the internal Harman Kardon speakers.

Connectivity and Expansion Slots
The zv5330us has an integrated 54g wireless LAN that's fully compatible with 802.11b/g wireless networks. The 125 HSM/SpeedBooster support will enable it to be ready for tomorrow's 125 Mbps wireless LANs. You get a decent offering of connectivity options, including super-fast USB 2.0:

3 USB 2.0 ports for connecting a wide range of peripherals--from digital cameras to MP3 players
1 VGA monitor port
1 S-Video out
1 parallel port
1 PCMCIA (or PC Card) slot (Type I/II, 32-bit)
1 headphone jack and 1 microphone jack

It also has an integrated 56K modem (V.90) and an RJ-45 LAN network port (for a 10/100 Ethernet connection to networks and DSL/cable modems).

Preloaded System and Software
This system comes with the Windows XP Home Edition operating system, and it also features Microsoft Works (for working with word processing and spreadsheet documents). Other preloaded software includes Microsoft Money, Norton Antivirus 2004 (with 60-day LiveUpdate subscription), Adobe Acrobat Reader, Encarta Plus, HP Image Zone Plus, InterVideo WinDVD Creator and Home Theater, Muvee autoProducer, Sonic RecordNow, and Apple iTunes.

Solid performer.......2007-01-21

Have owned this one for 2 years now. It is my main computer.

Pros:
-Great display, But (see Cons)
-Very Good Wireless Antenna Reception
-Reliable

Cons:
-Graphics not as strong as I had hoped. I tried playing "Republic Commandos" and "Call of Duty 2". Both were very choppy and slow on this laptop, even with everything shut down. I wasn't expecting it to be a "killer" gaming rig, but I thought with a P4 HT, Radeon 9000, and 1+GHz Ram - it would do a better job.
-Poor Battery life, well under 2 hours. Haven't watched a movie totally on battery power yet, but will need an extra battery.
-No Bluetooth. I would rather have it built-in than occupy the ONE PCMCIA slot all the time. I have a Palm T/X and that's how I sync.
-Only one PCMCIA slot.
-Only allows 1 Gig of Ram.

Overall, I am happy with it. But next laptop, I'll look at the graphics a little harder (I didn't have a lot of time to research before buying this one).

awesome laptop.......2006-12-05

I am using it for the past two years. it's working great. Most of friends who sees that ask's me is it a new one thats why i maintained it still i use it daily and i switch it off for every 4 days. it runs non stop.As usual the battery problem and looks like most of the Hp laptop's have power jack problem other than that, i never had any problem i am still using the os that came with the laptop. Hp did allow me to purchase the warranty service ever after 1 year of expiration. great service. IT's Bright screen and wide screen make's me watch movies more on my laptop than on my TV.:) it's worth.

Top performing laptop.......2006-11-07

We purchased quite a few of these units for use in the energy sector. They performed wonderfully; Even on offshore oil platforms in hostile environments.

This model is often used for gaming because of its fast processing speed. We use them for heavy duty seismic and geology software applications that use more resources than any game. We even load them down with MSDE's and SQL servers right on the laptop. Performance is still tops even loaded to the gills with applications; in addition, we run multi-taking programs each and everyday with these units. No problems and excellent support from HP. Hewlett-Packard even let us purchase extra warranty coverage after the factory warranties expired.

We only had trouble with one out of 13 units and the engineer that was assigned that unit is fairly rough on PC's to begin with, so we weren't surprised when he complained about problems. HP picked it up at our office and returned the unit good as new within 3 days. We had anticipated a week but HP is really good with service now. No complaints from any of our IT geeks or personnel, excluding the one engineer who in the last 4 months has also toasted two cell phones and a desktop. Everyone else is most happy with their units.

Unreliable laptop and the WORST technical service and guarantee.......2006-01-11

I bought this laptop a year ago from Circuit City as a present for my husband.
In less than a year it had a hard drive and a cd/dvd drive replaced, and the batttery pack, ram, and the OS and programs, removed, and installed over and over again.
New year's eve was spent talking to technical service people from India, and Seattle, on the first day of the new year more of the same with India and finally with some Spanish speaking people.
Last time I heard from a supervisor of the supervisor that I needed to fax the receipt for the purchase of the laptop in order to bring it to another supervisor to determine what to do. I still have not heard from them.
The laptop is an useless paperweight, sad reminder of money, time, and confidence in HP lost.
Bottom line, buy MAC.

rollei prego 70 - lofoten islands, north norway 2001.......2002-03-09

Fantastic lens! Used this camera on cycling tour of Lofoten Islands, North Norway last summer and the results were superb; crisp, clear landscape shots, panoramic function was a handy extra for extensive rugged coastline photos, very light and compact. ...

Not as refined as it should be.......2001-12-13

It's compact and well styling designed.
Picture quality is a little bit worse than my Leica Mini zoom.
Ergonomics design is strange that most of people will accidently
hit zoom button for shot. Also my unit has a 1mm gap between
its metal cover and plastic body.

An excellent and affordable camera made in German........2001-01-06

It is an excellent and affordable camera. It is not made in Malaysia or Thailand. It is made in German and it is made by Rollei. Very sharp lens (much better than regular point and shoot). Highly recommended.

Panasonic Toughbooks have been ruggedized inside and out to protect screens, cases, keyboards and hard drives from drops, liquid spills and falling objects-the three leading causes of notebook damage. With Panasonic Toughbooks, time isn't wasted transferring data from damaged systems, recovering lost work, hiring expensive IT consultants or replacing failed notebooks. Designed for unparalleled performance and durability, Panasonic Toughbooks have become the industry's most reliable mobile PCs-they're your best defense against downtime.The wireless-ready Toughbook 29 is the industry's fastest fully rugged notebook PC. It has a sealed full magnesium alloy case and shock-mounted hard drive. With a large anti-reflective, outdoor-readable LCD, it also ensures easy viewing in any light.

Product Description

Fast pixel response time is essential to accurate image reproduction on LCD displays. If the response time is too long, fast motion seen during sports broadcasts and action movies can cause blurring. This LCD TV features an impressive 16ms response speed, helping to ensure excellent detail and smooth motion during high-speed scene transitions.Some LCD displays require the viewer to sit within a very small sweet spot for good image quality. Move too far to the left or right and image quality drops off sharply. This LCD TV features an extremely wide viewing angle of 170?, so whether you're right in front of the TV or sitting off to the side, you'll still get great image quality.Traditional analog TVs display video in an interlaced format that splits each film frame into two separate fields, resulting in visible scan lines and other image artifacts. A progressive scan display shows each film frame as one solid frame, helping to create a stable, solid image free of interlaced artifacts.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent little LCD that fits in anywhere.......2005-09-14

This is a great TV for the money. I have mine mounted about eight feet off the ground and it has a beautiful picture from most angles of the room. I am running it using only the coaxial input that carries digital satellite, DVD, and off-the-air broadcasts and am amazed how vivid the colors and the dark images on this TV are. It comes with all the inputs you need including component and S video , just don't expect any bass out of the tinny speakers (what can you expect out of something so compact). I hooked a pair of ampilified computer speakers up to mine to solve that problem. It's not widescreen and it's not HD, but for $300.00 you get a fine little LCD that looks cool on your wall.

Great Deal.......2007-09-07

I finally gave up on my old Video camera since I can't buy batteries for it any more, and bought this Handycam. (Comsumer Report liked it, I listen to them) It is easy to use and has nice pictures. Very good price too. I like Amazon, they deliver fast and have everything I could ever be needing. I always look here first and find it fast. Thanks, Mossy

Affordable GREAT camcorder.......2007-08-23

great camcorder for the price! Rated "best buy" by Consumer Reports and it is. Great pictures, average sound and no remote. Please note, you cannot play tapes recorded on older 8mm camcorders.

Great Camera.......2007-08-05

This is a great, affordable digital camera. It takes great film that comes out very nicely on today's high-end tv's. It also has a firewire input to connect to your pc and download your footage for editing. Looks like Sony isn't making this model anymore and that's a real shame because of the great pricepoint. I have a video production business and this is my 5th camera of the same exact model.
ADDITIONAL INFO:
Unfortunately it doesn't play the older Hi8 tapes, and therefore you can't download onto your pc to burn a disk-I've tried.
If you're willing to make a bit of an investment, this product:
http://pinnaclesys.com/PublicSite/us/Products/Consumer+Products/Home+Video/Studio+Family/Studio+MovieBox

The MovieBox system solves a lot of problem with getting old footage onto a pc to edit and burn. You'd still need a camera that plays the old footage though, I'm thinking. I would suggest contacting the manufacturer about that. I've seen this product at Best Buy and you may find it at Amazon too.

Hope this helps. This video stuff can be VERY confusing and believe me, I've been through a lot of trial and error!

Sony Hi-8 Camcorder.......2007-07-30

Very good camera. Excellent video and audio quality. Records on a tape but is still digital. Tape quality turns out to be better than mini DV. Many features including nightshot, different tape modes, the "Easy" button, steadyshot, etc. The only disadvantage is the camera's heavy weight and its rather large size, but I can live with that. Great camera, I think its worth the money.

Good cam, but very displeased.......2007-07-26

Cant understand why they allow others to show extra add on items along with the pic of the product. I guess i am a bit out of touch but i bought this cam because i saw the accessory package picture attached with the pic of the camera, and wanted the extras with it. I got the camera with no tapes, no mini tri-pod, no long life battery, no carrying case, etc. I called Amazon and as expected i got Abdul from India to try and assist me but it is hard to understand them with a heavly accent. When i explained my problem, they sent the exact same camcorder to me, no extras. Now i am having to pay extra to get those additional items when i was lead to believe they were all included. I will be following up on this and see what they do next.
