More HP reviews , RRP: AU$5999.00

The good:

  • Huge screen
  • Great speakers
  • HD DVD drive
  • Fast processor
  • 7.1 external sound
  • HDMI port

The bad:

  • Incredibly heavy
  • Monitor hinge can be clumsy
  • No monitor clasp to hold it to the base
  • Blu-ray option not available
  • Squishy mouse buttons
  • Battery guzzler

The bottomline:

HP's Pavilion HDX is quite possibly the best "because we can" item that we've seen in a while -- but for those who don't mind dabbling on the luxury side, it's a must buy item.
