HP Pavilion HDX 20.1-inch Notebook

[CES 2008] We would rather call it a desktop replacement: with its 20.1” display, the HP Pavilion HDX is impressive at first sight. Playing with it, we liked a few things in particular:

Display: the dual hinge provides better ergonomics. The screen can be higher and closer than on a typical notebook.

Sound Quality: the sound was amazingly good… I was going to say “for a laptop”. Amazing for a laptop, but, absolutely good.

Of course, you are not expected to move this notebook too often, but for someone who wants the power of a desktop and the integration of a notebook, this is a serious option. Specification in the full post.
