    It is nicely configured with a 400GB hard drive, a Blu-ray drive, and Windows Vista Home Premium. The dv7t has proprietary left-side connection for HP’s xb3000 expansion base. Although the base is an expensive add-on, it incorporates a screen stand, a third hard-drive bay, far better speakers, and a wireless keyboard and mouse for a complete desktop experience.

    The HP Pavilion dv7t, with its 2.53GHz Core 2 Duo T9400 processor and 3GB of RAM, turned in a blazing score of 98 in our WorldBench 6 real-world speed tests. Interestingly, MicroExpress’s identically stacked all-purpose machine, the JFL9226, earned a mark of 103.

    The HP Pavilion dv7t’s nVidia GeForce 9600M GT graphics card makes this laptop a better gaming rig than many other portables. It produced an impressive 152fps - frames per second - in our Doom 3 and Far Cry tests (and a respectable 95.26fps with antialiasing turned on).

    Battery life was 3 hours, 1 minute, not bad for an 8.4-pound unit with a 17-inch screen. If only we could see the screen a little better. In a typical fluorescent-lit office, viewing the display is hard. Even when ratcheted all the way up, the huge screen was not very bright–not what you’d expect from a high-end machine. Compared with the display of a 15.4-inch HP Pavilion DV6000t, in fact, the dv7t’s screen was grayish. That said, the dullness shouldn’t impede enjoying a flick on the Blu-ray drive or getting work done, especially with the lights turned down low.
