Description:
As the most powerful member of HP's upscale Pavilion ze5000us series of portable computers, the Pavilion ze5385us Notebook PC is stunningly fast and thoroughly capable of most any processing task. It isn't incredibly small, nor can it burn DVDs in its stock configuration. However, if trail-blazing speed and wireless connectivity are important to you, the Pavilion ze5385us may be your dream machine. Driving this impressive unit is a lightning-fast 2.6 GHz Intel Pentium 4 CPU with 512 KB of Level 2 cache and a generous allotment of 512 MB of DDR SDRAM (expandable to 1024 MB). Handling the 3-D video chores is a 64 MB ATI Mobility Radeon graphics chipset with 64 MB of shared (not dedicated) memory, which will make short work of all 2-D and most 3D applications but won't efficiently display ultra-complex 3-D games. Measuring 13.8 by 11.8 by 1.75 inches, the unit is larger than many current notebooks. It is, however, comfortably lightweight at just 7.5 pounds. HP has loaded the system with desirable features such as a large and accommodating 60 GB hard disk for your programs and files, a DVD/CD-RW combo drive through which you can burn and play audio CDs and watch the latest movies, and a 15-inch XGA TFT display that supports resolutions up to 1400 by 1050. For your listening enjoyment, HP has added a 16-bit Sound Blaster Pro-compatible audio chipset and integrated Altec-Lansing speakers. Controlling the Pavilion ze5385us is a snap. The unit features a full size 88-key keyboard with embedded numeric keypad, a Touch Pad with on/off button, and a dedicated vertical scroll up/down pad. Other amenities include three fast USB 2.0 ports for plug and play peripherals, a single IEEE 1394 port for high-speed interaction with demanding external peripherals such as digital camcorders, and VGA and TV outs. Communication facilities include integrated 802.11 b wireless LAN, an RJ-45 Ethernet jack for fast network and Internet interaction, and a 56K modem for low-speed e-communication.
