Access your digital audio library wherever you roam with the HP Pavilion dv1420us notebook PC, which weighs just over 5 pounds and comes with 100 GB of storage space. It features a widescreen, BrightView 14-inch display, which provides improved viewing in direct sunlight, and dedicated external media and menu control allow you to navigate your video and music files quickly and easily. Control playback settings from up to 10 feet away with the optional HP remote, then store it conveniently in the PC card slot. You'll keep the party going thanks to the battery-friendly 1.6 GHz Intel Pentium M 725A processor (Centrino). This notebook also features 512 MB of installed memory (2 GB maximum), built-in 54g wireless connectivity with 125 HSM/Speedbooster support, dual layer DVD+/-RW drive (which also burns CDs), and multiformat memory card reader.

The Basics

• Hard Drive: The 100 GB hard drive (4200 RPM) is above average in size, and is befitting of such an entertainment-centric laptop. You'll be able to store a hefty digital audio library.
  
• Processor: The 1.6 GHz Pentium M (Centrino) Processor 725A is at the low end the speed spectrum for this processor class (October, 2005), and adds to the affordability of this notebook. It is well equipped for office productivity software tasks, from complex spreadsheets to databases. The Pentium M processor is designed specifically for low-power mobile usage, and it features the latest in power-saving technologies--ensuring you push your battery and productivity to the max. It also has a large 2 MB L2 cache--which will help speed up your system's performance--and an average 400 MHz front-side bus (FSB). (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance.)
  
• Memory: The 512 MB of installed RAM (PC2700, 333 MHz, 2 x 256 MB) is adequate for running office productivity and audio software, but you'll want to take advantage of the ultra-roomy 2 GB of total RAM capacity (2 x 1 GB) for such multimedia needs as video editing and immersive 3D gaming.
  
• CD/DVD Drive: Offering the latest in DVD writing technology, this multiformat DVD/CD drive is compatible with both DVD+ and DVD- disc formats as well as dual-layer (DL) DVD+R discs, which can store up to 8.5 GB of data. It features 16x DVD+R, 8x DVD-R, 4x DVD+/-RW, 2.4x DVD+R DL, 16x DVD-ROM, 40x CDR, 24x CD-RW, and 40x CD-ROM ROM speeds.
  
• Keyboard & Mouse: This notebook has a 101-key keyboard and a touchpad with on/off button and dedicated vertical/horizontal Scroll Up/Down pad.
