The 15-inch dv5t special edition is available starting at $949 and is decorated with the HP Renewal Imprint Finish, a design HP says is “inspired by new leaves on branches symbolizing rejuvenation and growth.” The Intel based dv5tse is available direct from HP and can be customized to order with a Blu-ray drive and up to a 400GB hard drive.

The feature set is probably among the best in the industry. As with other Pavilions, the dv5t comes with four USB ports—one of which is an eSATA/USB combo port. eSATA is an alternative interface for connecting an external device such as a hard drive, and it’s four times as fast as USB 2.0! Although this particular dv5t configuration doesn’t come with a Blu-ray burner, one can be added for $400. An option for a high-definition drive explains why an HDMI-out port, which lets you stream digital content to a larger display, is a standard feature. The rest of the goodies—the 1.3-megapixel webcam, a FireWire port, and 5-in-1 card reader—are what you’d expect from a Pavilion laptop.

With the introduction of the HP Pavilion dv5 series notebooks, HP is finally offering high-resolution displays. The dv5t is currently offered with a WXGA or WSXGA+ resolution. The WXGA screen (1280 x 800 resolution) is what most 15.4-inch notebooks in stores have, and the most common resolution on 15.4-inch notebooks. The WSXGA+ display (1680 x 1050 resolution) is what my notebook has. It has 42% more viewable space than the WXGA display, which is the reason I chose it. Higher-resolution screens allow you to see more and scroll less. For example, if I view a large web page, I could see 42% more content on the WSXGA+ display than on the WXGA display.
