    HP Pavilion HDX Full Review »
    HP Pavilion HDX
    The good: Massive 20-inch display; first system we've seen with the new Core 2 Extreme mobile CPU; pop-out remote control provides 10-foot interface; cool touch-sensitive controls. The bad: It's so big that it's a laptop in name only; expensive; HD DVD only--no Blu-ray; Core 2 Extreme CPU offers only slight performance boost; screen can't do 1080p; no DVI port. The bottom line: HP's massive 20-inch Pavilion HDX is a glorious example of conspicuous consumption--overpriced, overpowered, and overwhelmingly cool.
