Description:
Enjoying life’s luxuries is a pleasure in itself. Enjoying them at a discount is even better. If you’re shopping for a portable computer that effortlessly runs power-hungry productivity applications, hit DVD movie titles, and your favorite 3-D games--but you refuse to pay top-dollar--the Hewlett-Packard Pavilion ze4145 notebook PC belongs on your short list. The ze4145’s AMD Athlon XP 1800+ processor plows smoothly through any productivity application or entertainment title. At roughly 7 pounds and barely more than 1.5 inches thick, the ze4145 travels easily, and its 15-inch, active-matrix TFT display coupled with an ATI Mobility Radeon 4X AGP (including 3-D architecture for cutting-edge gaming) look good and, most importantly, make your software and movies look great. The ze4145’s DVD/CD-RW combination drive (24x/8x/8x, 8x DVD) lets you watch movies on DVD, listen to and make CDs, and rapidly back up data. The ze4145 offers generous helpings of memory and storage. Its 40 GB hard drive sucks up large application and data files, and its 512 MB of DDR SDRAM--expandable to a maximum of 1,024 MB--lets you easily juggle several applications simultaneously. An integrated 10/100Base-T Ethernet LAN (RJ-45) connector makes networking easy. External ports include two USB inputs, a 25-pin parallel port, a serial connector, a PS/2 keyboard-mouse connector, and 15-pin VGA and S-video TV-out plugs. The notebook also includes a 56K integrated modem with an RJ-11 connector. Bundled software includes Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, InterVideo WinDVD, the HP RecordNow CD-RW recording utility, ArcSoft Funhouse and PhotoImpression editing tools, Corel WordPerfect and Quattro Pro productivity applications, Quicken Financial Center by Intuit, Encyclopedia Britannica Ready Reference, Wild Tangent 3-D games, Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0, and Norton AntiVirus 2002 with a three-month live update.
