thats not notebook liao, thats called portable desktop haha jk

haha - similar to apple's desktop

it will weigh a ton. if u're thinking of lugging this around to ur nearest Starbucks... .

and dun get me started on battery performance.

This is stupid. Who on earth is going to carry this around?

15.5 pounds ~ 7kg, omg whan to carry this weight...

probably will be selling at 15k or something

wow.........

dats!!!!!

even my desktop lose with dat laptop.........

monster laptop............

wah finnaly dell xps2010 have a nice competitor..........hehe but graphic wise a bit behind ...........

dell have x1800xt mobile .............

erm the HD 2600 ati cards are direct x 10 cards that are not launched by ATI yet

wow...insane !!!!!!!

very nice...but its going to be difficult to carry around

Design : 10/10
Spec : 9/10 (Vga card should be 512mb ddr2 & >256bit)

Size and weight doesnt matter for me.
Just one more to consider, battery life???

OMG, it a powerful than any of our pc around here.... with HD2600 from ATi(For real?!)

this is going to be cool if you use this on WiFi enable area

This will cost a bomb to buyer but really awesome spec for a notebook. Even a desktop have to stand aside.

DIS NOTEBOOK PAWNS ALL!!!!!!!!!!!

in mana notebook.....mobile office i think...... need to hired a office boy to help u carry around

WTF 20" laptop everyone will be like "WTF"

For me, 20" is a bit too much. Consider it will decrease the mobility very much. Even 17" is quite bulky oredy.

buy this, better just go to get Desktop PC, 7KGs for the notebook...zzz even SFF better then that.

the price must very expensive... don't think regular persoan or company will buy such high end notebook like that, even now major of compony in this country still use pentium 4...

its a entertainment note book. therefor i assume it is not targetted at corporates and people who are on the move do not carry entertaiment laptop, the carry business laptop.

but can you buy it in M'sia 1st place?

I cant find any high end laptop around. If only dell have 1710 in m'sia...

Weak vga... HD DVD but screen is not full HD....Expensive yes... mother of all lappy's no

source please? where did you get the news?

Insane laptop. More like a mobile desktop.
It must be very $$$$$$$$$$$$

aiyo the news is everywhere lah.

walah, ultrafather laptop

the price must be unspeakable.. >_<

according to the weight , once ops-terjatuh = die (crack there n there )

erm... 7kg, suitable for bodybuilder on the run

HD2600, belum official launch alrdy in OEM form...

this monster can at least score 6k in 3dmark 06, higher than average desktops here

i bet this babeh can run Supreme Commander smoothly at high res

wow .... this baby is even quicker than my desktop ...

sigh .... i wonder whats the retail price going to be when it hits our shores ...

aiyo....i thought CrossFire setup?haha.....cause already got so many lappy running SLi now,this is still stick to single graphic,
btw,this is really heavy and big,it's not everyone can accept the size and the weight.

lol...is that a phone beside the keyboard??

The thing is called the HDX Dragon , cheaper to get a desktop version of that and so much easier on the spine cause that thing is massive

This post has been edited by Panda89: May 24 2007, 07:08 PM

go and find DELL XPS M2010 notebook
hahaha... similar to this.. but cool..
some features..

20.1" monitor
Blu-Ray drive
7.1 Full HD Audio
removeable bluetooth keyboard.

wat the... how am i suppose to carry it...?

Performance instead of mobility. Its like lugging a fully loaded desktop on your back

I rather get an alienware with sli setup than this if we could get alienware here

What's Latin for pointless again?

Really, I'd rather get an Apple Cinema 20' shoehorned on a shuttle PC. Might be cheaper and funner to carry (you can hit people on the way!) too.

One of my considerations after the Toshiba Qosmio G40 but i'm not hazarding a guess at how much it costs.

And the G40 also uses Intel's Santa Rosa technology.

Btw, the G40 would be rivaling this HP notebook.

wow... nice spec it got there... easily surpasses my PC for Vista experience index or perhaps even gaming

nice is nice la..ur paying for the looks and also considerable performance vs the desktop but in the end of the day, the desktop is gonna be faster for gaming and is a better choice for enthusiasts. imagine u have 10k to spend.. u can get a pretty fast mofo computer man!

i saw this in compuzone notebook price list but is not with hd-dvd.
Selling at RM8999

dell marketing stuff

wah monster laptop!!!

Wat a lovely desktop replacement. I wud love to haf 1. Damn good for home usage. No messy wires watsoever.

I've seen this during the roadshow at 1U the other day. I think it was on June. Sadly say i don't think it's impressive as a Notebooks should be.

Why would ppl want use this notebook anyway ? @_@

It's not a notebook lar. It's a desktop replacement. It's meant for lifestyle segment for the rich ppl with nice interior design in teh home. It can be taken anywhere in a wifi home n still look nice without messy wires to complement teh interior design of the hse. Sum ladies can use it in the kitchens too.

If you want something more stylish an imac might fit that criteria slightly better which is arguably about as portable as this. IMO the HP is better suited for lan parties, but not for carrying around on a daily basis. The 7kg seriously is a bit too much for it to be truly portable.

The keyboard itself looks really uncomfortable, from my past experience of using of desktop replacement, and kinda unsuitable for prolonged gaming and daily use (although this is just based on the looks of the machine). Also it's arguable that the graphics card is somewhat underpowered for the resolution (wsxga: 1600x1024 do any new widescreen games support this resolution natively anyway?) since you can now get laptops with 8700gt mobility chips these days.

hahaha....my mom uses my old laptop in the kitchen too to check for KLSE stock prices while cooking ...i guess my mom fits into "some ladies" category too..

I like computers in the future to be as compact as it can be, just like this HP laptop. Really hope that laptop can be as easily customize as desktop PC. I used to have laptop, but then it gets worn out and parts get old, such as keyboards, and it's damn hard to get replacement. Really hope there's a standard hardware design, but chasis can be different.

Testing and comparing to my old Inspiron 1720.

saw a international student using this laptop in MMU Library, i have to admit it is huge. He even carry the laptop like carryint an big art sketchbook.

RM8780, a friend bought for me in LYP. Saw a video on the PC just now, got a nice quote for it : "No one needs one yet everyone wants one"

Still running installation and transfering app license...

HP Imprint Finish, Integrated Webcam and Fingerprint Reader

Fingerprint Reader !! for what ?? can i know ?? for security a ??

Well, I tested this baby in my office. It even has subwoofer at the bottom. Sound is impressive playing movie and music. LCD is clear, playing HD content. Can plug in 5.1 speakers in it.

Kinda bulky but I heard it's priced at RM9K plus. It can act as TV, just plug in TV antenna behind, chip is in it. This is targeted to home user as extreme entertainment, desktop replacement and not for business purpose.

But one thing want to comment... the HDD speed is 4200rpm oni??? will it be slower?

this laptop is too big!!...can't even bring it to starbuck...LOL

haha, now u know how large is it...

how to close the laptop monitor?becoz its shape not same with normal laptop

i hope u r not buying HP Pavilion HDX9006TX Entertainment Notebook PC,cause this is selling only rm7999 somemore got discount

hope u r getting HP Pavilion HDX9204TX Entertainment Notebook PC that selling at rm9999,but i dont think u can get rm8780 for this model

Thank you for the link.

The Product says HP Pavillion HDX 9000 series and Model number is HDX9013TX.
The notebook comes with 2x250GB HDD and 4GB RAM.
OS is Windows Vista Ultimate 64.

Maybe 'coz i bought 2 units, the reseller tu baik ati !

this is good for street weightlifters... 7kg, its even heavier than my dumbell.... it all just looks nice.... cant upgrade, cant change a shit...

it's a good one to replace desktop. great for gaming and multimedia.

not bad to put in living hall as decoration , who will bring around 20' laptop la pls
-.-

IMO the PC, not the laptop (not suitable for ur lap anyway) is a desktop replacement.
Moveable, portable. The battery is also not suitable for "main"less operation.

Move ur work and maybe ur office in a single package.
For a laptop/notebook a 10" or 12" is most suitable. Or if only wants ONE computer, a 15" to 17" is the best compromise.

There is one 20" built by Dell, better design than the HP, with a handle (since there's no carrying bag available in the market for that size) and detachable keyboard lagi. Bought the HP because of the spec (quote from my tech colleague).

Dell XPS 2010 rite if not mistaken ?? the 20 inch 1 ... we don't have it in our market...

but to me that 1 totally don't look like a laptop already .. is more like a desktop

with ati HD2600 only? erh...i think it a waste...

Saw this in Lowyat

I was surprise why they want to make big laptop. Even 15.4" monitor laptop is huge to me , cant image i take a 20" monster everywhere...

And i am an nvidia and Blueray supporter , too bad the spec is not my love ....

does it come with rollers and a bell boy?

will get 1 this when become full time trader.LOL

How big is the laptop bag?

Bag ? No bag. Its not even a notebook.
I think its a desktop in a notebook packaging.

And now, my experience with the machine :

Comes with 4GB, 2x250GB HDD, ATI2600 and Vista Ultimate 64bit.

Don't like :

Buggy HP on-screen feedback of the touchswitch and remote control (eg. volume control screen hang with VLC player and WMP)

Right side shift key is too small

Arrow keys not like Dell 1720 (my other notebook) - Dell places the arrow keys just like desktop keyboard

Left hand felt too warm for long computing hours (like my other notebook Acer 3044. Unlike Dell, all the heat is near the hinge of the display)

Still got problems :

Vista 64bit compatibilities with apps that i use in my line of work
The webcam is not recognized by YM
Got original XP Pro and still cannot do the dual boot (no more budget to buy 64bit version of ESRI's software - cari yang lanun nak try pun tak dapat)

Lain lagi...cukup puas hati !!

Attached is screen capture of the Vista Windows Experience Index.

that's a desktop replacement rite? wah the specs... chalorlay, wad do u mean no bags? u mean there is no laptop bags for this?

yes,no carrying case is included when u purchase this

4GB, 2x250GB HDD, ATI2600 and Vista Ultimate 64bit
swt... dunno when can i lay my hands on this

Just saw the computer on cnet. It's WOW!! Gotta get this type oneday. It has 4 Altec Lansing speakers with built-in HP Triple Bass Reflex subwoofer. That's huge!! Sound like a cinema super surround. The lid is very strong and can be put in many ways. I really love the computer. The imprint is aesthetical. HP doesn't seem to stop impressing us with their imprints. The drawback are HD-DVD (instead of more popular Blu-Ray), ATI graphic (instead of better nVIDIA) and most importantly, HP only give 1 year of warranty for the cost of 5 digit value.

It covers the model's whole body wahaha. With that GPU, this is not a beast of performance. This is a beast of physical appearance.

Wow look at the box for that laptop .. hahaha

wow, look at the ratio of the laptop to the model. btw, how is the heat generated by this monster?

This post has been edited by initial.craig: Jan 19 2008, 06:57 PM

got one people i know.. he want to sell it off..at price of RM7K or RM6k, he just used for 3months, bought at rm9999
haha..
it is too bulky...
to me.. i dono what is the purpose of the existence of this HP HDX20.1
laptop ? not portable
desktop ? performance is poor

for showing off purpose �?

Showing off? That's only applicable to Malaysians.

In some other places (say US), it could be use as home-entertainment platform. With the remote and stuff, so i think huge enough for say a family of 4-5 to watch movies on living room, and portable enough around the house.

I don't blame you didn't see the purpose, as I do agree this doesn't fit into our "culture".

And hell no I am not an HP fan at all, HP will be the last brand I'll buy.
