The Pavilion zd7000 series unveiled at HP's media blitz today aims to be the ultimate in semiportable home-entertainment computing. A true desktop replacement, it features a wide-screen, 17-inch display; a Pentium 4 desktop chip; up to 2GB of memory; an 80GB hard drive; a 128MB Nvidia GeForce FX Go5600 card; and a DVD burner.

Upside: With one FireWire port, four USB 2.0 ports, and a five-in-one storage-card slot, you can easily exchange and archive data, photos, and audio and video. The optional notebook expansion base lifts the display to eye level and includes a wireless keyboard and mouse, speakers, a battery charger, and a port replicator.
Downside: Although the Pavilion zd7000 series starts at a reasonable $1,799, the price will no doubt skyrocket as you load it with features. And if this supersize desktop replacement's 1.8-inch thickness and 9.3-pound weight don't keep you close to home, the power-hungry desktop processor will.
Outlook: The Pavilion zd7000 series will be available on August 20. It joins a growing list of desknotes from Sony, Toshiba, and others, all designed more for home entertainment than for portability. How will the zd7000 series stack up? Check back for a full review in the coming weeks.
