Guide Review - HP Pavilion dv9750us Desktop Replacement Laptop
1/15/08 – The HP Pavilion dv9750us is very much a multimedia notebook platform. In order to get such features into the middle price range, they sacrificed some other features to add the multimedia items.
Most desktop replacements tend to use higher end Core 2 Duo processors to provide the more desktop like experience. The Pavilion dv9750us uses the fairly low end T7250 model. This is fine for most applications but power users might end up wanting more. At least HP is including 3GB of PC2-5300 DDR2 memory that should let it run applications smoothly without too much virtual memory swapping.
The Pavilion dv9750us uses two 250GB 5400rpm hard drive to provide roughly 500GB of hard drive space. This is especially useful for those looking to use the PVR features of the Vista operating system along with the HDTV tuner. The system also includes a drive that can support playback of Blu-ray discs along with recording or playback of both DVDs and CDs.
To get the full use of HD content, the display would ideally support 1080p. Since the 17-inch screen only goes up to 1440x900, it really can only support 720p content. This is a bit of a let down but something that most won't have much of an issue with. The include NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GS graphics allow it to provide additional benefits for HD video, but it is a bit slower and not as well suited for PC gaming as the GT version.
All in all, the HP Pavilion dv9750us is a very solid desktop replacement for those looking to use it as a general purpose machine or for multimedia on the go. In terms of using it as a gaming platform, there are other systems that offer better performance.
Best Laptop for Students
Top laptops for a College/University Student
What makes a laptop good for a student? What specifications/specs are needed?
Students today need laptops because internet has become world`s #1 teacher. The amount of information you can find is astounding. Aside of the internet, a handy student laptop is his/her best weapon; whether to create a Powerpoint presentation, wheter to let yourself into a hardcore gaming experience, or whether to find a useful information on a subject.
So, here are the top 5 things you should consider when buying a laptop for a college student:
1. Portability. I can`t stress out how important portability is. You have to have your laptop by your side when you drink coffee, when you chat with friends, when you attend classes, and it must not be a burden to you.
2. Wireless connection. If you had nothing but internet, that would be it. Having a connection anywhere is an essential asset for your laptop. Don`t miss on it.
3. Battery life. A battery with life more than 5 hours should suffice.
4. Price. The laptop you are going to buy has to be affordable, because you know how expensive student life can be.
5. Usefulness. Ok, so it has to be cheap, but what good can it be if the laptop is cheap, but can`t do all the tasks ? That`s why you have to measure the quality with the price, and find the best balance, as always. Don`t rush yourself into buying a cheap laptop that can`t do anything, or buying a super l33t h4xx0r dual core monster if you plan working in Word.
So, with that being said, let`s take a look at my personal best choices for the best laptop for a college student:
1. ThinkPad T43 Intel Pentium 1.86GHz Notebook PC
My all time favorite. Light, yet very powerful and portable. You might want to check it out right now.
2.Panasonic ToughBook CF-72 Notebook PC
Quite expensive, but powerful. It`s very light, around 3.4 pounds, and recommended.
Reacts very good when multitasking. This one might be for the ones that are always in hurry, and doing multi tasks.

Sony Ericsson W910i - HSDPA Walkman Phone with Shake
Sony Ericsson W910i - Shake phone!
All hail the Sony Ericsson W910i Walkman phone, rocking quad-band (850/900/1800/1900Mhz) GSM/EDGE with HSDPA and Shake control. The Walkman lineup has been a huge success for Sony Ericsson and it’s not hard to see why. Having your phone as your portable music player is a great thing and the Sony Ericsson W910i takes it to a whole new level! The W910i can even match you’re mood with the SensMe feature and will play the right song according to mood and tempo. And, with the included 1GB Memory Stick Micro, you can store up to 900 songs on your W910i - which you can control using the innovative Shake control feature. Use “Shake” motions to navigate through your favorite tracks - flicking one way or the other will advance or retreat through tracks, while “shaking” the phone will shuffle your tracks.

Use “Shake” motions to navigate through your favorite tracks - flicking one way or the other will advance or retreat through tracks, while “shaking” the phone will shuffle your tracks.
And at 12.5mm slim, this thing is a sure winner!
The Sony Ericsson W910i Walkman Phone includes the PlayNow application that connects you to Sony BMG’s catalogue of music, games, and ringtones for OTA (over the air) downloading. That HSDPA connection is sure to come in pretty handy when you’re downloading all your favorite songs! And, once you’ve downloaded your tracks, you can select which songs you want to hear by instructing the SensMe feature to play only those songs that match the mood and tempo that you want - which are graphically displayed for easy selection.
The Shake feature gives you another level of control over your music and games. Why navigate through buttons and icons to skip, repeat, or shuffle your music? Simply flick or “shake” the W910i to navigate through or shuffle your tracks. And, the same sensors that control music playback can be used in games - like controlling game movement by actually moving the phone in the desired direction. Want to turn left, tilt the phone to the left, it’s that simple!
It’s kind of strange that Sony Ericsson would equip the lesser Walkman Phone (the SE K910i only has 40MB onboard memory, while the SE K960i has 8GB of onboard memory) with the high-speed HSDPA connection and leave the Sony Ericsson K960i without that sought-after broadband connection. Still, we’re not going to complain when the cheaper model has the better data connection.
