Windows Vista for smooth operations

Get things done, stay connected, and enjoy a variety of entertainment in a secure environment with Windows Vista. This series comes with Vista Home Premium, which includes Windows Aero, Windows Media Center, and instant search functionality.

The power of two

The dv9500t features the powerful Intel Core Duo and 64-bit New Core 2 Duo processors. With two execution cores on a single chip, it can run multiple multimedia applications in parallel without slowing the system. This model also supports dual hard drives with up to 240GB of storage (120GB x 2) for accommodating all your digital treasures.

Elegant and functional

The dv9500t features our new notebook finish: a high-gloss, black resin with an inlaid "Radiance" pattern. It has a full-sized keyboard with separate numeric keypad; you control the volume and launch buttons by tapping or swiping your finger across a strip on the keyboard.

Fingerprint security (optional)

Goodbye multiple passwords. Simply swipe your finger across the integrated reader (optional) on the side of the panel to log on to your dv9500t and to password-protected Web sites and documents.

Equipped for video chats

Stay in touch with friends and family using the optional integrated low-light VGA webcam and two omni-directional microphones, which also support VOIP applications.

Luxurious digital entertainment

An Nvidia GeForce 8600M GS graphics card with 256MB of dedicated video memory will bring you first-rate games and multimedia. The 17" WXGA high-definition widescreen with BrightView is standard; for higher resolution choose WSXGA+, or go for home theater viewing with the Ultra BrightView. You'll get high-quality sound from integrated Altec Lansing stereo speakers, and you get two stereo headphone jacks (one of which is S/PDIF capable).

Ideal for music, photos, and videos

The dv9500t features our latest version of QuickPlay, 3.2, which launches DVDs, music, and photos at the touch of a button. An included remote tucks away in the ExpressCard slot and lets you control QuickPlay from up to 10 feet away. Transfer photos from your digital camera to the dv9500t via the 5-in-1 digital media card reader, then use the Photosmart Premier software for photo editing, printing, organizing, sharing, and storing. You can turn pictures into movies, edit video, and create CDs and DVDs. Added bonus: burn your own, silkscreen-quality labels on your discs when you can choose the LightScribe option on the SuperMulti DVD+/RW/R drive.

Plentiful connections

The HP xb3000 Notebook Expansion Base (sold separately) connects your dv9500t to peripherals, including a monitor if you want a desktop experience. You get an integrated 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet (RJ-45), four USB 2.0 (without fingerprint reader), a 5-in-1 digital media card reader, an ExpressCard/54, an RJ-11, an IEEE 1394 FireWire, an S-Video, and a Consumer IR.
