Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist of the Compaq Laptop Battery
Black has always been the color of status. Apple charges an extra $150 for a matte black MacBook. Fashion houses typically consider their “Black Label” the highest-end collection. Even Mercedes has joined the club with their SLK 55 AMG Black. The latest company to join this club is HP. Their entry? The HP Pavilion dv2000t. It features an all-new, scratch-resistant, high-gloss piano black finish that’s accented with a subtle wave pattern. The last time a notebook ever looked so stylish was the Japanese IBM ThinkPad 10th Anniversary Limited Edition X30. There’s no doubt that the dv2000t is one of the best looking laptops on the market, but does it have the substance behind the style?

is a 14.1” 5.5 lb “Thin and Light” notebook. The “Thin and Light” class notebook has become the most popular notebook class on the market today. It’s pretty clear why that’s the case: the laptop is small enough to be portable, yet has a screen large enough for entertainment and multimedia use. In addition, most 14.1” notebooks offer tremendous value. Going to a larger screen means paying extra for the LCD panel. Going to a smaller screen means paying the R&D costs required for developing a system that small.
The standout feature of the HP dv2000t is its new high-gloss finish: HP Imprint. This is a sophisticated scratch-resistant coating with an inlaid pattern that was developed by Nissha Printing Co. from Japan. This is the same technology used to produce the faux wood or carbon fiber trim in some mid-luxury cars. Instead of painting over a surface (which can lead to flaking and visible scratches), the pattern is integrated into the resin. The clear resin offers a deep, mirror-like glaze to the surface that hasn’t been seen in any consumer notebook to date. Of course, as with any high-gloss surface, fingerprints and smearing can be a problem. That’s why HP includes a felt cleaning cloth with the notebook. Still, a good premium micro-fiber cloth from the car wash aisle at Wal-Mart or Target will do a better job.

The HP dv2000t is a superb ultra-portable notebook. It’s well-designed and competitively priced with a starting price of $750. As a 14.1” notebook powered by the Core Duo, the dv2000t provides a robust platform for both business and home users. The dv2000 does a superb job with its excellent battery life, superb keyboard, HP tech support, and fashionable design that’s not too gaudy or out of place in a boardroom. How good was the HP dv2000t? I bought one for myself.
