HP Pavilion zv5240us Laptop (3.00 GHz Pentium 4, 512 MB RAM, 60 GB Hard Drive, DVD/CD-RW Drive)

The Basics

• Hard Drive: A 60 GB IDE hard drive (4200 RPM) has ample room to store your digital photos, audio, and video files, and handle all your day-to-day applications.
• Processor: The 3.00 GHz Pentium 4 processor features Hyper-Threading technology and it has a 512 KB L2 cache, so it's fast enough to run all your applications. Hyper-Threading helps a PC run multiple applications at the same time, which enables the processor to execute two threads (a part of a program) in parallel, boosting performance. This results in more efficient software performance (such as faster reaction times in gaming applications) and enhanced multitasking.
• Memory: 512 MB DDR SDRAM (in two slots) speeds up the processing of applications--even games, digital audio, and digital video software.
• CD/DVD Drive: The 40x CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo drive can write to CDs at 16x, rewrite at 10x speeds, and read DVD-ROMs at speeds of 24x.
• Keyboard & Mouse: It has a 101-key compatible keyboard with a touchpad, an on/off button, and a dedicated vertical scroll up/down pad.
• Display: The 15.4 inch WXGA high-definition widescreen display, with a 1280 x 800 native resolution, gives you more than enough room for your everyday applications, and is ideal for watching DVDs.
