HP Pavilion HDX18-1180US 18.4-Inch Laptop
Expanding on the elegance of the HDX series, the HP HDX 18-1180us delivers in a design that balances performance and mobility. Its elegant Fluid Imprint finish encases leading-edge mobile architectures, including the latest Intel Centrino 2 dual-core processor and NVIDIA GeForce graphics processor. And it’s preloaded with the Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit operating system, enabling you to fully access system memory to support 3D games and complex applications. You’ll also enjoy high-definition video content on the 18.4-inch widescreen HD BrightView Infinity display–which offers true a 16:9 aspect ratio–that’s matched to Altec Lansing speakers with an integrated subwoofer and Dolby Home Theater immersive surround sound. The HDX laptop features a number of ways to protect your data. HP’s ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection locks your 500 GB hard drive into place when it senses abrupt motion to help prevent data loss. The integrated fingerprint reader offers greater security and ease-of-use by associating passwords to your system and online accounts with unique fingerprints. And the built-in eSATA/USB combo port enables fast backup to an external hard drive. It’s powered by the latest Intel Core 2 Quad processor–with four processing cores and Centrino 2 technology–which boosts speed, reduces power requirements, and saves on battery life. The 2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Quad Q9000 includes a quick 1066 MHz front-side bus and 6 MB of L2 cache, providing an optimized, multithreaded architecture for improved multimedia and multitasking performance. It comes with a combo optical drive with Blu-ray Disc playback for watching your favorite films in crystal-clear resolution and SuperMulti DVD burner with LightScribe technology that lets you etch custom, silkscreen-quality labels and artwork directly onto LightScribe-enabled CDs and DVDs. Other features include a 500 GB hard drive, 4 GB of RAM (8 GB maximum), Draft-N Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n) and Gigabit Ethernet (more…)

Acceptable PC
Acceptable. That’s the word that comes to mind with my new HP HDX16. I would not call it spectacular or awesome. I just cannot win.

Conflicts apparently exist between Adobe and HP HDX
Installed Adobe Premiere Elements 7, Lightroom II, and Photoshop Elements 7 (in that order) and Vista crashed; after “restore” and boot, the mousepad did not work.
