Such a computer will serve wonderfully as a multimedia center as well.

Having a thickness of about four and a half millimeters the notebook weighs 3.5 kg. The 8 cell Lithium-Ion battery allows you to work with HP Pavilion dv7 in offline mode for almost 3.5 hours. However, if you want to watch a movie with an average level of screen brightness the battery won't last more than 2 hours.
The exquisite design of the notebook will capture your attention at once. It's all made of gloss. In addition to the internal filling the appearance is designed to bring an aesthetic delight. The notebook case is made of plastic. The black cover with an abstract pattern is fully glazed. This technology makes it possible to create a strong and resistant to mechanical damages case, but even a slightest touch would be enough to lay fingerprints on its surface.

The lateral side of the casing looks great. A single loop which is located along the entire length of the body connects the lid to the bottom and makes it possible to open the laptop at an angle of 140 degrees.
The 17.3-inch glossy widescreen HP Brightview display with a LED-backlit on the back and a resolution of 1600x900 pixels allows the users to view all types of images with an excellent quality, while the high-quality video play will be rich in contrast and saturation. While watching a movie on a screen with 16:9 aspect ratio you will both see all the smallest details and plunge into the exciting field of cinema getting amazing sensations from the show. With such a screen you will be able to use HP Pavilion dv7 not only in home lighting but also outside. Unfortunately, the unconsidered small viewing angles and the reflective glare glossy surface of the screen affect the viewing of films and gameplaying. The good-looking full-size keyboard with an integrated numeric keypad make the Pavilion dv7 model mostly convenient for work. The keyboard layout is perfectly set and all the keys are located on their regular places. In the process of typing the keys do not snap having a soft deep move. Also while typing the keyboard won't bend, but your fingers can sometimes slide off the keys.
