With a 12.1 inch screen and a thickness of just under 2.5 inches. And a few components that make it live up to any of his older brothers. This is the new series of HP Pavilion laptops dv2 that finally arrived in our country.

A model already presented in the exhibition CES 2009 last January and we are offered in two variants: the dv2-dv2-1020es and 1050es. It is not easy to put a label to a series of notebooks whose processors and the lack of optical drive are features of a notebook PC or NETBOOK. In this case, the AMD Athlon Neo Ultrathin MV-40 to 1.60 GHz instead of the usual Intel Atom is at the heart of both models. And of course, HP provides us as an optional external DVD burner with multi LightScribe. This will create quality disc labels directly onto the screen surface of the CD or DVD.

Obviously, the elimination of a fixed optical drive has a direct impact on the weight of the equipment of only 1.8 kg. If we add to this the thin already mentioned, we can speak of a computer to carry under his arm without much problem. Curious, at least in a model that is aimed at an audience looking for a tool for your leisure time.

While the 2 GB memory DDR2 SDRAM seems rather sparse, hard drive SATA 320 GB is not bad.

On the chart we find the first difference between the two models. While the HP Pavilion dv2-1020es takes a ATI Radeon X1250 card with a total of 896 MB shared memory, the HP Pavilion dv-1050es is equipped with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3410 with 512 MB of dedicated memory. It is capable of doubling its capacity by using the main memory system, reaching 1278 MB total. The latter has an output port HDMI through which carry audio and video to an HDTV.

Besides the usual ports and USB 2.0 for connecting peripherals, the laptop has a reader for five different kinds of memory cards. Loading or unloading the contents of music and video players or digital cameras is for children. Like make a video with a webcam with microphone at the top of the screen. For this purpose, we can use the Internet connection through the network card Ethernet as the standard wireless Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g.

Decorated with minimalist on the outside and inside the casing bright colors are Black and White Café Luna. Both the HP Pavilion as dv2-1020es-1050es HP Pavilion dv2 already available for 700 and 800 euros respectively.
