Our HP Pavilion dv9700t review unit's 2.5GHz Core 2 Duo T9300 processor-just one step down from the top of Intel's Core 2 Duo line-carried it to the head of the pack on most of CNET Labs performance benchmarks. The final design feature of note is the handy Wi-Fi power switch located on the laptop's front edge.

To the right of the touch pad, a fingerprint reader (which is bundled with that $25 Webcam option) lets you log on to Windows and Web sites with the swipe of a finger. The somewhat compact touch pad includes a scroll zone, and we love the power button at the top of the touch pad, which is handy when you want to use an external mouse. (Opting out of the Webcam package saves you $25.) Like almost all desktop replacements, the Pavilion dv9500t's keyboard is full-size and includes a 10-key numeric keypad.

Our Pavilion dv9700t review unit incorporates HP's optional VGA-resolution Webcam with two built-in microphones for Web conferencing. Altec Lansing stereo speakers, located above those controls, deliver decent sound, though we prefer the depth and clarity of the sound produced by the speakers (and subwoofer) on the Toshiba Qosmio G45. Like all Pavilion laptops, the dv9700t includes a row of light-touch buttons above the keyboard that launch the media player and provide volume and playback controls. The screen produced rich colors and sharp details, and there's plenty of screen real estate for traditional computer work as well. We're fans of the Pavilion dv9700t's glossy display, which features a crisp 1,680x1,050-pixel native resolution. The dv9700t's case features the familiar Pavilion design, with rounded corners and a glossy imprint finish-with a subtle circular pattern-that create an overall sleek look. Nevertheless, it is lighter than many other entertainment-oriented desktop replacements, such as the 9.3-pound Gateway P-6831FX and the 11.1-pound Dell XPS M1730. The Pavilion dv9700t has impressive heft when you lift it out of its box weighing 7.9 pounds without its power adapter, this is not a laptop you'll carry every day.
