Last month, details of upcoming HP Pavilion laptops and netbooks surfaced from the official HP website's support page. Little did we know that HP Pavilion dv8 would be equipped with Intel Core i7-720QM mobile processor. Now, the official specifications page has gone live to check out full configuration of this 18-inch monster laptop.
As the official specifications, HP Pavilion dv8 equips 1.6GHz Intel Core i7-720QM CPU which was announced recently at the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) 2009.
However, HP slips quoting 6MB L2 cache instead of L3 cache. HP packs 4GB memory module with twin 320GB 7200RPM hard drives for storage.
Pavilion dv8 has 18.4-inch HP Brightview Infinity Display with 1920x1080 pixel resolution. Fabulous for HD content viewing, HP added performance level Nvidia GeForce GT 230M graphics with 1GB dedicated video memory and HDMI out for taking HD content to larger HD screen.
Nvidia had introduced 40nm GeForce GT 200M series GPUs that would be Windows 7 ready back in June. For a complete HD content watching experience, Lightscribe Blu-ray ROM would be bundled. Audio is taken care of by Altec Lansing speakers with integrated subwoofer and Dolby Home Theater.
Other features of this 18.4-inch monster machine include Gigabit Ethernet, WiFi (802.11 a/g/n), Bluetooth, four USB 2.0 ports, ExpressCard/54 Slot, FireWire port, VGA out, and integrated finger print reader. Full size keyboard with integrated numeric keypad is added. This HP dv8 machine will come pre-loaded with 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium and is thus expected to be launched on or after Oct. 22.
Considering the heavy HD supporting hardware, we're sure that the price of Pavilion dv8 will surely burn some pockets.
