Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist of the HP Laptop Battery
I am a college student traveling out of state and I needed a quality notebook to replace my desktop. I am a Computer Science Engineering major, and I enjoy playing games every so often. So I needed the laptop to be more than just a web-browsing machine. I need it to be able to play games and to perform well enough to do more than my course work requires. For six months, I researched laptops and concluded that the HP HDX 16 is the highest quality for my budget (less than $1,300).
This is a new model from HP. It is their “premium series” notebook. It is very similar to the HP HDX 18. It is just the 16″ version of it with battery like HP ZBook 14 Battery, HP EliteBook 850 Battery, HP ZBook 15u Battery, HP CM03XL Battery, HP TPN-W108 Battery, HP HSTNN-IB4R Battery, HP HSTNN-LB4R Battery, HP 717376-001 Battery, HP 716724-1C1 Battery, HP EliteBook 855 G2 Battery, HP EliteBook 750 Battery, HP EliteBook 840 G1 Battery. It is comparable in price to the dv5 Notebooks from HP.
This is definitely a desktop replacement; it has a 16″ screen and very nice hardware.
My HP HDX 16 Specs:
•Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 1 (64-bit)
•Intel Core 2 Duo Processor P8400 (2.26GHz)
•16.0″ diagonal High Definition HP Ultra BrightView Infinity Display (1366×768)
•4GB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm – 800MHz)
•512MB NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT
•320GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection
•Webcam + Fingerprint Reader with HP Imprint Finish (Fluid)
•HP Color Matching Keyboard
•Intel Next-Gen Wireless-N Mini-card
•Blu-Ray ROM with SuperMulti DVD+/-R/RW Double Layer
•12-Cell Lithium Ion Battery
I mentioned I have the 12-cell battery, it lasts for about 3-4 hours while playing games, and it lasts between 5-6 hours while doing Internet and word based things. It also lifts the notebook ~1″ off of the ground allowing more airflow, which is a great thing in a laptop and helps keep it cool. It is definitely worth it.
As the first laptop I bought, the HP HDX 16 has exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes to play games but also needs more than just a video card. The HP HDX 16 is a very well rounded machine that does everything I ask of it. If you want to play games online, do video editing, program or just surf the Internet, or everything simultaneously; this laptop is definitely for you. It is more portable than the 18″ HDX but not extremely portable like the HP dv4 (14″). If it is a choice between the dv5 and HDX 16, go with the HDX 16. It is well worth the cost, and you will not be disappointed.
