As the least expensive member of HP's upscale Pavilion ze5000 series of mobile computers, the Pavilion ze5375us Notebook PC features all the processing power of its pricier siblings but with a slightly less substantial feature list. If speed is important but budgetary concerns are paramount, the Pavilion ze5375us Notebook PC is a wise choice.Driving the unit is a potent 2.4 GHz Intel Pentium 4 CPU and a generous allotment of 512 MB of DDR SDRAM (expandable to 1024 MB). Handling the 3-D video chores is a 64 MB ATI Mobility Radeon graphics chipset with 64 MB of shared (not dedicated) memory, which will make short work of all 2-D and most 3-D applications but won't efficiently display the latest 3-D games.
Measuring 12.96 by 10.72 by 1.79 inches and weighing 7.5 pounds, the Pavilion ze5375us is a comfortable carry. The unit features an adequate 40 GB hard disk on which to store your programs and files and a convenient DVD/CD-RW combo drive through which you can burn and play audio CDs, archive data, and watch the latest movies. Its integrated 15-inch XGA TFT display is now the notebook norm, supporting crisp, clean images of 1024x768 resolution. For your listening enjoyment, HP has added a 16-bit Sound Blaster Pro-compatible audio chipset and integrated Altec-Lansing speakers.
Controlling the Pavilion ze5375us is a snap. The unit features a full size 88-key keyboard with embedded numeric keypad, a Touch Pad with on/off button, and a dedicated vertical scroll up/down pad. Other amenities include three fast USB 2.0 ports for plug and play peripherals, a single IEEE 1394 port for high-speed interaction with demanding external peripherals such as digital camcorders, and VGA and TV outs. Communication facilities include integrated 802.11 b wireless LAN, an RJ-45 Ethernet jack for fast network and Internet interaction, and a 56K modem for low-speed e-communication.

Great laptop if you don't try to update the BIOS.......2006-04-05
Poor quality notebook - HP Pavilion 5375US.......2006-04-01
Good for the $$$.......2004-01-30
IN any case, I agree that winXP home is complete crap. However, with all that said, after spending quite alot of time (15+ hours) installing XP and all drivers, and using the horribly inadequate networking features of XP to wireless communicate..... Once it was configured, the machine has been performing flawlessly.
I bought the machine for 2 reasons. The first is to write my thesis: alot of math modeling and data crunching, and the machine was not particularly fast. It is substantially slower than a 2.4GHz desk PC, but have not compared it to other laptops. The second reason was to use the new software synthesizers that are hitting the market using USB MIDI. It seems to function quite well, but chokes on very sample heavy sounds (meaning that the HD is a little slow and/or 512MB of memory is not quite enough) such as Steinberg's 'The Grand'. Also, for real-time sound applications, the built-in sound card has huge latency issues mainly due to non-ASIO drivers, but a quality sound card plugged into the PCMCIA bus works well.
All the peripherals are adequate.... and adequate is the key word. The CD, memory, HD are not top performers, but they are not terrible. The saving grace of the machine is the connectivity it offers: 3xUSB, firewire, modem, ethernet, wireless 802.11b, serial, printer, SVGA, IR, 2xPCMCIA slots. Not much more you can ask for in a laptop.
The batteries do not last long at all, well under 2 hours. This is personally not much of an issue, but is something to consider.
All in all, I am happy with the machine, but very unhappy with the operating system that was shoved down my throat....

VisionTek GeForce4 Ti 4600 128MB DDR Memory Graphics Card
Manufacturer: VISIONTEK MASS STORAGE ProductGroup: CE Binding: Electronics Accessories: Product Features:
ASIN: B000062YL5 |
Product Description
Live to ride... the top of the line Xtasy graphics accelerator from VisionTek Featuring Nvidia's GeForce4 Ti 4600 GPU is an explosive free ride of effects and speed. This is the big burly of the gaming world. With more than 63 million transistors, 128MB of RAM, mind-blowing 650MHz DDR memory speeds and the fastest ever GeForce GPU pumping 300MHz of graphics, you better be prepared to ride like a professional. Slide on!Amazon.com Review
Designed primarily for serious gamers and anyone who regularly pushes the 3-D rendering capabilities of their computer, the VisionTek GeForce4 Ti 4600 is an extremely powerful graphics accelerator card based on nVidia's state-of-the-art GeForce4 Ti 4600 graphics processor unit. If you haven't upgraded your graphics engine in some time and are confident your computer is otherwise fast enough to support its fast clock speed, amazing texturing capabilities, and 128 MB high-speed DDR memory, the VisionTek GeForce4 Ti 4600 will make your games look hotter and run smoother than you may have previously thought possible.Installation was a snap, and even novice installers should have little trouble with it. Once you've installed the card, just plug in your display, turn on your machine, and follow the directions that appear in Windows.
If you're one of the many computer owners with a fast CPU and a GeForce2 or less powerful video card, the VisionTek GeForce4 Ti 4600 will quite probably knock your socks off. It allows your graphics to run at higher resolutions so you enjoy a substantially more authentic display across the screen. In recent racing games such as F1 2002 from EA Sports, where a smooth frame rate is so critical to a good performance, we were able to crank the graphics options wide open and still experience a fluid, unencumbered drive. In 3-D shooters such as Unreal Tournament, the difference between a GeForce2 or less powerful card and the VisionTek GeForce4 Ti 4600 is stunning. Character and object edges are sharp, textures are rich and lifelike, and lighting and explosions are spectacular.
If you have a television with an S-video jack, you can purchase a separate S-video cable, plug it into the TV In/Out connector, and play your games on the big screen (and record them on a VCR). The kit also includes a copy of CyberLink's excellent software DVD player PowerDVD, but lacks any bundled games or extra goodies.
Regardless, the VisionTek GeForce4 Ti 4600 is so far ahead of current game-production technology that anyone who purchases it can feel confident they're well-prepared for the future. Awesomely powerful, it is recommended to gamers who want the ultimate graphics experience. --Gordon Goble

I'm currently running a Geforce 2 Ultra on a 1gig AMD Thunderbird system with 256K SDRAM. By todays standards that's pretty weak and any new system sold is probably much faster. This card is the current best of the best, yet the price is pretty steep too. Here's how the different cards will improve my system performance:
6985 194% NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4600
6565 183% NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4200
6512 181% NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4400
6341 176% ATI Radeon 8500
5450 152% NVIDIA GeForce3 Ti 500
5330 148% NVIDIA GeForce3 Ti 200
5238 146% NVIDIA GeForce3
4107 114% NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440
3629 101% ATI Radeon 7500
3593 100% NVIDIA GeForce2 GTS/Pro/Ti
<----my current system
3347 93% NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 420
Keep in mind that these scores are on my fairly dated 1gig processor. Those of you with faster chips will probably show an even greater improvement with the faster cards. Regardless, I can still run all the games currently out without problems. This includes the (current) high performance games like Grand Theft Auto 3, Morrowind, Dungeon Siege, Wolfenstein 3D, etc. Once the newest crop of shooters like Unreal Tournament 2, Unreal 2, and Doom III come out I'll probably need to upgrade (but I can hope.)
Looking at the numbers, I can get a 50% improvement by upgrading to a relatively inexpensive Geforce 3, an 80% improvement by upgrading to a Ti4200 or Ti4400, or a 94% improvement by buying this card. I'll probably put my ego in check and save 1/3 the price by getting the ti4200 or ti4400 card over this card. My gut is also telling me prices of the ti4600 are going to drop rapidly once ATI's 9700 hits the shelves, but of course that doesn't help you if you're looking for a card right now. One last thing, as the scores indicate, don't make the mistake of getting a Geforce 4 "MX" card.
Hope the review helped.
