HP Pavilion zx5280us Notebook PC (3.20 GHz Pentium 4 (Hyper-Threading), 1024 MB RAM, 80 GB Hard Drive, DVD+RW/CD-RW Drive)

The Basics

• Hard Drive: The 80 GB enhanced IDE hard drive (4200 RPM) has ample room for digital photos you'll want to store.
• Processor: The 3.2 GHz Intel Pentium 4 processor has a 2 MB L2 cache, and features Hyper-Threading technology to boost your laptop's performance. Hyper-Threading helps a PC run multiple applications at the same time, which enables the processor to execute two threads (a part of a program) in parallel, boosting performance. This results in more efficient software performance (such as faster reaction times in gaming applications) and enhanced multitasking.
• Memory: It has 1024 MB DDR SDRAM (in 1 memory slot) to speed up the processing of applications--even games, digital audio, and digital video software.
• CD/DVD Drive: A CD-RW/DVD+RW combo drive lets you save your photos to disc, burn your own digital audio discs, watch DVDs, and even burn to DVDs.
• Keyboard & Mouse: It has a 101-key compatible keyboard with a touchpad, an on/off button, and a dedicated vertical scroll up/down pad.
• Display: The 15.4 inch WXGA high-definition BrightView widescreen display, with a 1280 x 800 native resolution, gives you more than enough room for your everyday applications, and is ideal for watching DVDs.
