The good: 
Attractive new "special edition" bronze theme; includes a media remote control and an HDMI port; available dedicated graphics.
The bad: 
Heavier than it should be; tinny speakers, unimpressive battery life.

The bottom line:
The 14-inch HP Pavilion dv2700 Notebook Special Edition packs plenty of extra features and a cool new paint job into a slightly too-heavy package with an uninspiring battery.

Review:

Hewlett-Packard's 14-inch HP Pavilion dv2700 Notebook offers an upscale design and feature set in a laptop with a price that is quite affordable, including Altec Lansing stereo speakers, a remote control, and an HDMI port. Our review unit clocked added a TV tuner, dedicated graphics, and Intel's latest Core 2 Duo T9300 CPU.


But these are all features available elsewhere. The real star is HP's high-gloss, black-and-bronze finish, called "Verve". HP likes it so much, it calls this a "Special Edition", although
HP Pavilion dv2700 Notebook is also available in a nonspecial version without the new design for less (at the moment, that's offset by a free upgrade on the Special Edition to 3GB of RAM).
We liked the solid design and wealth of features, and 14 inches is our preference for mainstream computing (as opposed to bulkier 15-inch models), but the dv2700 loses points for being heavier than it should be, and for charging us extra for a fancy pattern.

 New
HP Pavilion dv2700 Notebook Special Edition is essentially similar to the Pavilion dv2500 we looked at in the summer of 2007, albeit with updated components. The new "Verve" design is a swirly, organic-looking black-and-bronze affair. While it's aesthetically pleasing, we're not sure it would be enough to sway our laptop-buying decision one way or the other.
 
HP Pavilion dv2700 Notebook felt a bit heavy for a 14-inch laptop at 2.4kg. Recent lighter 14-inch models include the Toshiba Satellite M305-S4826 and the Fujitsu LifeBook S7211.

 
HP Pavilion dv2700 Notebook has a nearly full-size keyboard, with full Page Up and Page Down keys--usually the first thing laptop makers cut for space. A row of seemingly mandatory touch-sensitive buttons is above the keyboard, with media transport controls and quick-launch buttons for HP's proprietary media management software.

A credit-card-style remote control that stows in the Express Card slot works with this or other media software--we've seen that on other HP laptops, such as the Pavilion tx2000 and have always liked it. We also received an optional Express Card digital/analog TV tuner, which included its own full-size remote control. We've never had much luck with either traditional TV tuners (poor image quality), but your mileage may vary. The speakers got reasonably loud, and were clear, but lacked any bottom end, making them OK for Web videos and movies in a pinch, but not suitable for music.

The 14.1-inch wide-screen LCD offers a 1,280 x 800 native resolution, which is standard for a screen this size, and makes for text and icons that are highly readable. We generally prefer matte display finishes--glossy ones, as on
HP Pavilion dv2700 Notebook, can reflect glare from surrounding lights, but they can also offer a better movie-watching experience. It's largely a matter of personal preference.

While it has only two USB ports,
HP Pavilion dv2700 Notebook goes overboard with video output options, including VGA, S-Video, and HDMI out. However, we'd easily ditch the rarely used S-Video or modem jacks for a few more USB connections.
With its 2.5GHz T9300 CPU,
HP Pavilion dv2700 Notebook is a speedy performer, easily beating comparable mainstream laptops such as the Toshiba Satellite U405 and M305, which have the slightly slower 2.1GHz T8100 CPU. We had no trouble with multitasking, running multiple Web browsers, office applications and media players at the same time. The Nvidia GeForce 8400 isn't the most powerful video card out there, but we managed to squeeze a very playable 33 frames per second out of Unreal Tournament III at 1,280 x 800.

The system ran for 2 hours 13 minutes on our DVD battery drain test, using the included six-cell battery. Our DVD battery drain test is known as being especially tough, but in anecdotal testing, we found battery life to be about the same. Apple's MacBook, by way of comparison, ran for 4.5 hours, making it a category leader.

HP includes an industry-standard one-year parts-and-labor warranty with the system. Upgrading to a three-year plan will cost an extra. Support is accessible through a 24-7 toll-free phone line, an online knowledge base, and driver downloads, and we've found HP's Web-based support site to be pretty good for providing easily accessible updated drivers.
