Description:
Featuring Intel's exciting new Centrino technology and desirable amenities such as DVD writing and wireless communication, the HP Pavilion zt3010us Notebook PC is a perfect match for those who need a machine that transports easily and brandishes enough power and adaptability for typical mobile tasks in a variety of environments. What is Centrino? It's an Intel-developed technology built upon a triad of three interconnected elements -- an Intel Pentium M CPU (with 1 full GB of Level 2 cache), an Intel 855 chipset, and a cord-free network connection -- that work hand-in-hand to keep your notebook lightweight, wirelessly connected, power efficient, and faster than its rated CPU speed might indicate. The power section of the Pavilion zt3010us includes a 1.5 GHz Pentium M processor, 512 MB of DDR SDRAM (expandable to a whopping 2 GB), and a surprisingly capable ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 graphics chipset with 32 MB dedicated video memory. Though the unit can't be recommended for high-end 3D design and 3D games, it will handle most everything else. Measuring 14 by 10 by 1.3 inches and tipping the scales at 6.5 lbs., the Pavilion zt3010us is smaller and more lightweight than most notebooks but is not as compact as many other Centrino-based units. Underneath the hood, you'll find such amenities as an oversized 15.4-inch widescreen display capable of crystal clear 1280 by 800 resolution, a pair of Harman-Kardon speakers, an 88-key keyboard with touch pad and dedicated scroll pad, and a variety of convenient one-touch controls. For your data storage and handling requirements, HP has enclosed a large 60 GB hard disk and a versatile DVD+R/RW/CD-RW combo drive through which you can archive files, record and listen to audio CDs, watch DVD movies and burn your own DVDs. The Pavilion zt3010us features a variety of state-of-the-art connectivity options, including three high-speed USB 2.0 ports for plug and play peripherals such as scanners and joysticks, a single IEEE 1394 FireWire port for fast interaction with devices such as digital camcorders, an Intel Pro-Wireless 2100 802.11b integrated wireless LAN, a 10-/100-Mbps Ethernet wired LAN, and a low-speed 56K modem. Bundled software includes Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, Microsoft Money, Quicken New User Edition, and Intervideo's WinDVD Creator.
