There’s a good reason why Hewlett-Packard notebook computers have become so popular with consumers. They give you a lot for your money. Consider HP’s latest media center locomotive, the dv8000. For around US$1200, you get a monster notebook with a 17-inch display, a state-of-the-art AMD Turion 64 processor and a discrete graphics processor — the ATI Radeon Xpress 200m — with 128 megabytes of video memory so you don’t have to rob RAM from your main system to run graphic intensive programs.
