As much as I love AMD chips, they generally suck on the notebooks. So this leaves us with Intel. Well HP has a dual core 1.66 GHz processor in their Pavilion DV1000T laptop that looks to have some promise. Too bad it is not happening in a different brand for the review though…

HP’s Pavilion DV1000T laptop computer comes with a 1.66 GHz Intel Core Duo CPU and the new Intel 945GM chipset with an integrated 950 GMA graphics processor. This is the first time MobilityGuru has looked at a mobile computer with the 950 Graphics Media Accelerator. How does the 950 GMA compare to earlier GMAs and to dedicated graphics processors?

I’ll answer that question later in this review. But first let’s give the DV1000T its due.

Editor’s Note: We will be publishing a more detailed look at the 945GM chipset and comparing it to the 915GM chipset soon. Stay tuned.
Features

The following table presents the features of the HP Pavilion DV1000T. The table also includes Fujitsu’s Lifebook N6410, which I reviewed back in March of this year. The N6410 has a number of features that are similar to those of the DV1000T. However, it sports an ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 graphics processor with 128 MB of dedicated memory and the ability to use up to 128 MB of shared system memory, instead of a 950 GMA processor.

I’ll discuss some of the key features of the two computers after the table… Source TH
