Why buy a car adapter for your laptop for $100 that can’t be used anywhere else? Charge your laptop battery while your on your way to that big meeting! Take your office with you in the car! Run both your laptop and your printer with this car adapter. Give your kids something to do besides fighting! Let the kids watch a movie on the DVD player, or play the Nintendo in your car. Have a 120V AC plug to use for almost anything! (Limited to 150W total output, a 13″ television uses about 120W). How long can I run my laptop? Even when running at full power with the car turned off, you can expect 6 to 13 hours of running time from your vehicle’s battery before recharging is necessary. The unit will cut off automatically when the battery voltage drops below 10V. We guarantee this unit for use with all laptops! Is this a large enough unit? You can calculate the amount of power that you need using the following formula. 115V (Plug Voltage in the USA) X Amps (found on YOUR fan, TV etc Label) = # Watts you need Example: 115V X .4A (found on the label for my fan) = 46 Watts so this power inverter will work!

Balance your need for productivity with great multimedia performance with the HP Pavilion dv9620us notebook PC, which features an amazingly bright, widescreen 17-inch BrightView display–perfect for multitasking between document windows and watching movies in their native aspect ratio. Enjoy movies or music in seconds with the external DVD or music buttons to launch HP QuickPlay (which bypasses the boot process). Control playback settings from up to 10 feet away with the included remote control, which stores conveniently in the ExpressCard slot. It offers a cool, modern look with a durable, high-gloss piano black finish and wavy inlaid design inspired by Zen rock gardens as well as a subtle blue backlit media control panel that responds to the slightest touch. It also has an integrated 1.3-megapixel WebCam (and integrated microphone), enabling easy video conferencing via VoIP and video IM chats.
Optimized for mobile performance, it’s powered by the 1.9 GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-58 dual-core processor, which offers 64-bit computing capability and higher throughput for simultaneous computing tasks. You can easily burn your home video productions to DVD for friends and family with the dual-layer, multi-format DVD/CD burner, which also includes LightScribe technology for personalized silkscreen-quality, laser-etched CD/DVD labels. Other hardware features include dual 120 GB hard drives (for 240 GB of capacity), 2 GB of installed RAM (4 GB maximum), an integrated NVidia GeForce 7150 video/graphics card with 287 MB of shared video RAM, 54g Wi-Fi LAN (802.11b/g), and multi-format memory card reader.
This laptop also comes preinstalled with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium, which includes all of the Windows Media Center capabilities for turning your PC into an all-in-one home entertainment center. In addition to easily playing your DVD movies and managing your digital audio library, you’ll be able to record and watch your favorite TV shows (even HDTV). Vista also integrates new search tools throughout the operating system, includes new parental control features, and offers new tools that can warn you of impending hardware failures.
The Basics
Each processing core has a 512 KB L2 cache (for a 1 MB total), and this processor can deliver up to a 1600 MHz system bus for lightning quick computing reflexes. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system’s performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)
This LightScribe DVD+/-RW drive lets you laser-etch silkscreen quality text and images on to CDs and DVDs . Your software, PC and discs work together for a no-hassle way to burn just the labels you want. After you burn content, just flip the disc over, reinsert and burn your label–anything from a simple title to a full-disc work of art.
Screen, Video & Audio
The 17-inch WXGA+ high-definition BrightView widescreen (1440 x 900 resolution) provides a 45 percent larger picture for DVD movies than a 15-inch screen. Video is powered by the integrated NVidia GeForce Go 7150 graphics/video card, which provides up to 559 MB of video memory shared with the system memory. It features NVidia’s PureVideo technology–which provides great picture clarity, smooth video, accurate color, and precise image scaling for video content–and full support for Microsoft DirectX 9.0 for stunningly realistic cinematic effects for all DirectX-compatible applications.
The Altec Lansing speakers provide exceptional sound, and a pair of stereo earbud headphones with volume controls is included. You’ll be able to privately share enjoyment of multimedia with a friend via the dual headphone jacks.
Networking, Connectivity & Expansion
This notebook has an integrated 54g wireless LAN that’s fully compatible with 802.11b/g wireless networks. It also includes a next-generation ExpressCard 54/34 card slot (replacing the PCMCIA slot), which lets you take advantage of thinner, faster, and lighter expansion cards for even more advanced wireless, networking, storage, and security features. You get a very good offering of connectivity options, which does include super-fast USB 2.0 and FireWire:
It also has an integrated 56K modem (V.90) and an RJ-45 LAN network port (for a 10/100 Ethernet connection to networks and DSL/cable modems).
Operating System
Windows Vista Home Premium is the operating system for users with advanced computer needs, and it includes all of the Windows Media Center capabilities for turning your PC into an all-in-one home entertainment center for watching DVD movies and accessing your digital audio library. You can also use Windows Media Center to record and watch your favorite TV shows (even HDTV) and to access new kinds of online entertainment content. Computers that include Windows Vista Home Premium and an auxiliary Windows SideShow display will also allow you to access key data even when your computer is off. It is also easier than ever to share files between other PCs in your household and to manage your laptop computer settings to more securely connect via Wi-Fi.
Every edition of Windows Vista provides the essential tools and technologies to help protect you whether you are browsing the Internet, connecting to a wireless network, or just reading e-mail. All editions of Windows Vista include new tools that can warn you of impending hardware failures long before you have lost any important personal data. And, all Windows Vista editions include parental control features that allow you to manage and monitor your family’s use of games, the Internet, instant messaging, and other activities.

Customer Review: Very nice
I bought this laptop for my son who is currently in Iraq. He is very pleased with the item and really enjoys it. Reasonably priced, great quality.
Customer Review: Horrible!
I bought this laptop almost a year ago…I have hated it every minute. It does not work with anything I try to put on it…Photoshop, itunes, etc. Everytime I tried to put my itunes onto it, it removed the CD drive completely. It took only 9 calls to the help people before they told me that this laptop is not compatible with itunes…or anything! It turns off in the middle of working on something and even makes a horrible noise. Not worth a penny! If I could have given it zero stars I would have. Buy Now
